apparently "they don't make dishes

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

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?

They fit fine.

Or do you have 1 meal a day?

Only 1 meal a day that uses the largest plates. I don't bother with lunch
at all and breakfast is just a ****ing great slab of toast, so thick that it
will just fit in the toaster that has been chosen to be able to toast the
thickest slices available. I don't bother to have a clean plate every
day for that toast because that plate hardly ever gets dirty and when
it does when say the marg has leaked thru the slot that the bread
machine leaves in the end slab of toast, only bother with a clean
plate then. The dishwasher would handle a clean one of those
every day fine, and a clean largest plate every day too. I don't
in practice use a largest plate every day, the steaks are done
on those massive great cast iron things that go under the grill
and other meals like currys are eaten out of the large square
rigid plastic containers with lids that the rice is microwaved in.

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?

Half out.

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.

Yeah, me too. I did used to wash the Golf before what you call the MoT check
in the last 20 years of its 40 year life with the likely pointless idea that
the
checker might not be as fussy with a clean car. Don't bother with the Getz,
the mechanic I now use couldn't care less and just checks the obvious stuff
like the tyres and lights and does the mandatory brakes check with the
meter they put on the front passengers seat floor and go for a drive etc.

It's not like you're going to bed with it. And it's not like you sit on
it, only in it.

Yeah, tho if its filthy enough you can get that on your clothes as you walk
past it when its been parked quite close in a supermarket parking lot.

I haven't bothered to clean the inside either. The dash is pretty
dusty but the cloth seats arent that that's all I care about.
