I had a dishwasher in the nineties.   In the noughties I reverted back to washing up in the sink by hand.   I like doing the washing up.   :thumbsup:

So do I!

My dishwasher seals failed and machine has not been replaced.

These machine don't fill or empty themselves, do they?

I love my dishwasher (not in the sex way, come on, it's Italian). Even my butler wouldn't be caught washing dishes by hand. I had too much childhood trauma from scraping burned-on gravy from roasting trays (owing to my dad's preference for volcano hot overcooked food) to want to reach for the scrubbing brush ever again.

Blimey! I hope it's insured otherwise you're looking at a hefty bill to get some people in to sort it out.

Sort it out?  Surely it's only fit for firewood now?  Though I'm sure someone in Africa would be grateful to have it.

Really sorry to hear about this, PaulF. One never really knows what lies around the corner in life.

Have you considered counselling?

I'm trying to be philosophical about this, we got off more lightly than others. I heard that someone on the next village  had both their garden chairs AND the table blown over.

I'm more worried about how I'm going to feed the birds. The poor little things have come to rely on me for their organic-low fat-unsalted birdseed. They're the ones who are struggling, not me.

For two consecutive deliveries, Mr Sainsbury's House of Toothsome Comestibles has failed to supply me with dried apricots and apple rings.

I can only attack my dwindling supply of dried figs.

Sainsbury's have stopped selling Yeo Valley butter for delivery, as well as Yeo Valley full-fat Greek yoghurt.

Yeo Valley butter is fine and caramelly and lovely and I love it.  Huh.

Or a washing guppy.

The ideal is to have two dishwashers. Then you don't even need a kitchen cupboard.
