Health and Safety while working in Tanzania...

So, I'm doing a week and a bits worth of work at a small micro-finance bank in Tanzania (a bit of a change from Chamonix!). I love working in these distinctly non-corporate environments, partly because you get stuff like in this pic. The kettle is a massive 5 litre affair, but the heating element is set so high inside it that a full 1 litre of water is under the element, so when the water level gets down that far, to heat that remaining 1 litre the kettle is tipped backward so the water covers the element (mostly) - and the perfect thing to rest it on is the multi-socket thing it's plugged into... If you look carefully you can see the steam against the dark of the desk...
