Dishwasher (cheap Miele) was making horrible noises from the drain pump
area. Removing the filter I thought I could feel an olive pit in the
pump inlet...but couldnt see how to get it out..

In desperation I RTFMed. Oh. The cover to the pump is removable by
squeezing a catch and yanking it off,.

Getting it back on took longer than removing the pit.

In this context the small very hard seed found inside some fruits,
like olives or cherries.

It's what posh people like Turnip who like to mention they own dishwashers and
eat olives, call the stone.

Turnip's olives were *unpitted*, obviously.

Otherwise he wouldn't have had to remove the pit that got stuck in
his dishwasher, would he ? Do try and keep up !

As it happens I just happened to be reading about Cyril Connolly.
And one of many of his less endearing habits, was of reading while
eating and leaving olive pits and sardine bones (sic) inside the
pages of the (often other people's) books he was reading.

It is an Americanism that has crept in over the last few decades. We
(English people) used to call it a pip or a stone depending on how
big/hard it was.

Before Elizabeth David came along, the only people who ate olives in the UK
were Italian and Spanish immigrants and people who'd travelled in Europe.
Olives have always grown well in poor well drained soils and were a part
of their staple diet; not because they tasted nice but because they were easy
to grow and thus cheap to produce. They used to come in big tins from Spain
by the lorryload maybe still do ending up stacked up in the back rooms of
delicatessens.
They've never tasted any better than they did before although people like
to pretend that they do and so that while incredibly cheap to produce they've
never made into Macdonalds or KFC . Although maybe on the odd pizza where
the taste can be disguised with artificial cheese and tomato puree.

As demonstrated by Waitroses astonishing sales of single 'carrots' at
the self service tills.

Mr Adams is just a wannabee snob - he can't even get the business of being a
snob right.

He has. The "s" is silent in his case.
