UK Desperately need some advice on kettles!

[Etln11]

Hi everyone, I’ve just started uni and we’ve been told that you’re not allowed kettles in our rooms. I’m really curious as to why this might be? I know nothing about kettles or electrics so I desperately need as much advice as I can get. I did ask my uni if we would be allowed camping kettles that have lower watts than hairdryers (that we’re allowed) but they still said no . If anyone could help explain whether there is a genuine reason it would be highly appreciated!
Thank you everyone!!

i'd not trust a student ton switchbin a kight,

It’s hard to understand a scouser at the best of times, but I need an English degree to decipher that above.

I don't think it's an English degree that needed for that

Do you have a dedicated drying room? If so, you’ll find that they’re an ideal location to set up a home brew beer production line. Managed subsidised beer at 20p a pint through my first year at Uni with £10 profit on my initial set up contribution.

PS That was in 1984

Don't they send around one of them women with a trolley serving hot drinks? You know a bit like on an aeroplane?

Are you allowed a blowtorch and saucepan? I've heated water like that a good few times!

Far safer to use a makeshift electrode water boiler!
