apparently "they don't make dishes

My (not ancient) crockery has rice bowls and cereal dishes, I find the
rice bowls far better for cereal, than the cereal bowls which are too
shallow and slosh out the sides to easily.

you'll appreciate the havoc that
causes trying to load the machine efficiently

Not really, no space for a washdisher here.

Washing up by hand only takes about 3 or 4 minutes with just the two of
us.

Even less with takeways. :-)

A Fishwasher is a waste of money to us and simply something else to go
wrong, also takes up unnecessary space.

I cod do with one when I'm really lazy

Can't see why I should be doing what a machine can do for me.

I run mine about every 9 days for the normal stuff and another run
for the full sized beer bottles we call long necks every 24 days.

but haven't the plaice to put it.

My kitchen has a 20' long cantilevered bench along one wall
of a U shaped kitchen that is off the side of the massive great
open plan main room and stuff like dishwashers and 2 bar
fridge sized vertical freezers and cupboards slot in under
that so there is tons of room for stuff like dishwashers.

If I get off my arse and fix the original one that is now
40+ years old and likely just has a scaled up solenoid
valve, I'll likely have two, mainly so I can just put stuff
straight into the appropriate dishwasher as it is used.

The latest Bosch only cost me $50 at a garage sale
and works fine.
