I have seen allotmenteers using petrol generators, an electric kettle

That sort of little stinky two stroke generators are not that powerful,
800W tops. You'd have to make sure your kettle was suitably rated low
power one.

I have not looked that closely at the wattage. I have seen steam from
their kettle though.

I have a device that plugs into the cigar lighter in the car/van. Take
s
10 mins per cup. It does not provide light though.

Yes, I have one as well, pays for itself quite quickly when not paying
£2.50 for a cup of coffee at service areas. They are quite a load
though,
I'd be wary of flattening the car battery.

Never flattened mine.

I can't see why you need a light on an allotment. Surely if it's dark
enough to need a light in the shed, it's also too dark to do any work?

We don't need to know why.

Or are we thinking sheddie?

Loads of things to do in the shed when it's dark outside. Sheddie or not,
some people enjoy it, I know I sometimes like to be on my own for a
change.
Even chatting with friends over a cup of tea. Whatever turns you on. Some
people like trainspotting or stamp collecting, even gardening.
