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.

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.

for me it depends on the machine.
I can make a cup of tea all by myself I don;t need a teasmaid they just seem more trouble than they are worth.



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.

I don't have one to run.

Soemthing wrong with the washing machine at the WE. took from friday 8pm to sunday 6pm to do a wash although I turned it off at night.

I had a dishwasher do that. Turns out the programming was very simple, and it worked by filling with water, then washing while the water was heated. It stopped washing when the water reached a preset temperature. The heating element failing caused it to run all night. I only realised what was wrong because the water was only slightly warm (from the pump)..
