Kitchen utensils to be removed?

I see the centre management have put a notice in the G level kitchen to say that the microwave, kettle, toaster and other items left in the kitchen are to be removed? However, there is no mention of why. Perhaps they would care to make the issue known? I can understand that we do not necessarily need a kettle as boiling water is provided or even a toaster, but the microwave seems to be getting used quite frequently and seems to be a very useful resource. Maybe we can come to a compromise over this? As for people who leave a large quantity of crockery soaking in the sink or on the draining board for weeks on end (yes you Sparky) well what can you say?
