Not when you have turned them on when it was dark, had the sun come up while using the car, and then stop using the car rather later. That happened to a friend of mine. Yeah, I do it quite a bit, essentially because the garage sale run normally starts in the dark because we like to show up at the ones that are sposed to open at 7am at 6am and thats in the dark in winter. Maybe about 20% of the time I find I still have the lights on later. Not a problem with the Getz, it turns all the lights off when you turn the ignition off and lock the car with the remote and beeps to remind you that the lights are on when you do that in case you want to turn the sidelights on again if you want them on with the car parked and locked. My Golf annoyed me - to put on one half of the sidelights (the side in the middle of the road), you pushed the indicator stalk in that direction with the engine off. But when you pull over on the left, your indicator is already facing that way, the wrong way for the side you want lit up. Mine is much older than that and doesnt have any of that ****. Neither does the much more recent than your Golf Getz. The Merc one of my mates borrowed when a tree had jumped out and attack her car did have that sort of fancy selective sidelight **** and she had to get me to turn the lights off on that. We were driving to a party and staying the night we arrived early about 5pm in daylight. When we got out of teh car a regan IIRC it was beeping he had no idea why so ignored it. Around 10am we attempted to leave and teh car wouldnlt start flat battery. Yeah, the 73 Golf does let you leave the car with the lights on and on a few occasions one of the neighbours had told me that the lights are still on. I used to have a car with three 100Ah batteries in the back in addition to the main one. It was because I went camping in it and used a fridge etc. I used to leave the lights on deliberately at work and see how many panicked people would tell me I was going to flatten my battery. They weren't panicking, just being helpful. They stopped once I'd explained to them that even a normal decent car battery won't go flat in 8 hours of work with just sidelights on. we think what happened is he put the lights on to go through blackwall tunnel and forgot to turn them off after exciting the tunnel. None of our tunnels need the cars to have their lights on. One of the underground car parks under one of the shopping malls does see some turn their lights on when in there, but thats not to see where you are going, more to make their car more visible to other people. You should be able to see another car with the lighting in a car park. You can see that better with the car headlights on. Only if your eyesight sux. Probably just people with automatic lights. Nope. There's a lot of those about, you can see how stupid they are when they drive through a patch of trees and the lights go on for 5 seconds. You'd think they'd take a recent average. None do that around here. |

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. I got a 6 month old one for free - someone gave it away when they bought one that fitted inside the cupboard of a fitted kitchen. -- If you're cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? |

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).. -- Only 55% of Americans know that the sun is a star. |

The idea is that putting cold water into them but not pumping it about results in dampness in the air condensing into the water, hastening drying. I find it hard to believe it's especially effective.

So was mine tho the only additional cost is the cost of heating the water. I dont bother with rinse aid and never need to do anything about hard water. And a hand wash uses a lot more hot water too. Probably. Certainly, essentially because when you hand wash every day or after ever meal you use a hell of a lot more hot water than the dishwasher run every 9-10 days does or even if run every 4 days. |

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. It actually depends on how much work is involved in doing it by hand.. 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. And only a fool thinks that about a dishwasher or washing machine. 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. More fool you. 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. Time to get it fixed. 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. how many of yuo are there ? One. The latest Bosch only cost me $50 at a garage sale and works fine. for me it'd be the running cost that would annoy me I suspect. More fool you. It actually costs less to run than doing it by hand. Sure? Yep, essentially because hand washing after every meal uses a hell of a lot more hot water than running the dishwasher every 4 days or so. Dishwashers only wash properly at something like 75C. You don't use anything like that temperature by hand, Yes, but you use a hell of a lot more water. most of the work is done by scrubbing, but a dishwasher can't scrub. You also drip dry things, or dry them with a towel. The dishwasher uses heat. Not always, my original one didn't, just did a hot rinse and you just open the door when its finished and let the stuff air dry. I don't need to be there to open the door. -- What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt? Lipstick, if he's lucky. |

Snip What tablets? The things you put in to wash the dishes! The detergent! I don't use tablets. Me too neither. I use Finish powder - which you can only get in 1kg plastic jobs now rather than the 3kg ones that used to be available. They've pushed all the suckers towards tablets as they are more expensive. I buy them for convenience. And they cost **** all, especially supermarket's own. But the salt in them is useless as it gets nowhere near the water softener. Whatever it does, we use use tablets, we live in a Very Hard Water area, and we never have any problems associated with hard water when using our dishwasher. -- Davey. |

Mine is closer to 5p a wash and that is with Finish, not some cheap ****. Finish costs more than 5p a tablet. Not at the best prices it is ever sold for it doesnt. My figure was TCO per wash. So was mine tho the only additional cost is the cost of heating the water. I dont bother with rinse aid and never need to do anything about hard water. Finish tabs are over 5p each. Electricity use is over 5p per wash. You're a bull****ting waste of time as always. NT |
