"Hi Kelly Kettle Co.'

I thought you might like to know that your kettles are truly amazing.  Not only do they work superbly, and entertain the crowds that gather when we use it in public, but they can stand up to some pretty tough problems! .......

We live in the mountains of south west Bulgaria, and I guess have one of the few Kelly kettles here.  We store it by under the eaves of our house, standing on the stone foundation wall.  Yesterday while we were in the house during a massive thunderstorm, we received a direct lightening strike to the roof, which blew the lights out and frankly terrified us with the sheer explosive noise, the biggest bang I have ever heard in my life.  Looking round outside we noticed the kettle several feet away from the house.  Just where it had stood, there is now a large blackened and scorched mark on the timber frame of the house, where the lightening exited! It must have hit the kettle on it's way to the ground.  The only mark on the kettle is a small burn (which wasn't there before) where the metal chain is attached to the cork! We are very impressed, otherwise it is still in perfect condition, in fact part of the usual soot and tar residue on the inside of the chimney is now completely clean, and it is the same size as the mark on the wall.....  So if you want to clean off the grunge off the chimney of a kelly kettle you could just leave it out in a thunderstorm...!!

Regards from Bulgaria"
