apparently "they don't make dishes

My (not ancient) crockery has rice bowls and cereal dishes, I find

rice bowls far better for cereal, than the cereal bowls which are

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

It's the effort required that a dishwasher removes.

Effort!?

Yes the bit where you have to collect all the stuff together, pull down
the door load everything in, add whatever detergent you need, close the
door set the thing off ......

That's the effort, why do you think men get married for sex ;-

I know someone (a lawyer) who measured the time taken to load her
dishwasher, she was convinced it was still taking as long as washing the
dishes. It wasn't anything like as long,

Yeah, she's a fool. I just put the used dishes straight in the dishwasher
and don't bother to even rinse them. I to tip stuff l like chop bones
off into the bin before the plate goes in the dishwasher but that's it.

Me too. It even cleans dishes that've been dried on for 4 days.


Mine is about 9-10 days, when all the largest plates are dirty.


How can you get that much dishes in the dishwasher? Or do you have 1 meal a day?

And the kitchen is designed so that the dishwasher stays
open so you don't even have to open it to put more
dishes in. Just close it before doing the dishwashing run.


But how do you get to each shelf?


The bottom shelf is fully open onto the open door.


And the top?

but once you get used to something easier, it becomes annoyingly hard
again.


I always hated washing the dishes, presumably
because we were made to do it as kids.


I'm just lazy. I detest doing something that has to be done again later.


Yeah, the car has only been washed once in its 10 year life.
And it lives outside under the trees and is filthy.


I've never seen the point in washing (the outside of) a car which lives outside. It's not like you're going to bed with it. And it's not like you sit on it, only in it.


Ok, I stood on the roof of mine at a motorcycle race.
