    Thank @Dovefromabove . On the cards today.

    Why don't they make dishwasher tablets with dissolvable wrappers? Having just fought with one for the last few minutes!

    They do Hogweed.  Been using them a few years now.   Lots of brands, just read the box and if the wrapper is transparent it's probably soluble.

    I like a horse's neck - gin and dry ginger with a long strip of lemon peel and ice.  Nothing curmudgeonly about it.

    Dishwasher tablets are an odd thing when you think about it. When did everyone suddenly decide tablets were the way forward instead of powder? Millions of tablet packets in landfill because scooping powder was too taxing.

    The door springs on my dishwasher failed again this morning. It's the 4th or 5th time I've had to replace the spring or mechanism now. I think that works out as about a 2 year lifespan for a spring which I suppose isn't too bad considering how often we open and close the door every day.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Have had a dishwasher of one sort or another for 35 years and have never needed to replace the door springs!

    A few years ago, I bought my dishwasher a dishwasher, and he had the nerve to grumble!  He relented somewhat when I explained it was his Christmas present, and that I was in no way dissatisfied with his work.  But he hardly ever used it.

    And then we can tip the water on the borders afterwards ... can't do that with one of those automatic machine type thingummybobs  :)
