[Gordon Steadman]

I'm the dishwasher. I can pack it any way I like!

Only ever had one when living with a woman and her two children. I still did it by hand unless the piles of dishes emptied the cupboards of clean ones. With just the two of us now, I can't see the point. When Ronnie is away, I just use one of everything and wash it before use, she does tend to use a few before washing them. I'm not a technophobe but still prefer the manual answer to many things.

I used to sell them when designing kitchens but found it a bit difficult to tell the usual porkies about how much better than a pair of hands they were.
