Just caught the tail end of an interview with a rail company spokesman on Radio 4 ... he was talking about the benefits of new trains they were introducing and said some thing like (and I paraphrase) '...and reliability and punctuality - as that's what our customers are telling us they want...'. Is it me? Wouldn't you think that all rail services should provide a service that has the following attributes:
1) Reliable
2) Punctual
3) Clean
4) Not Overcrowded
Why was he vaunting that as though it was something extraordinary that they were going to provide?
As for washing machines/dishwashers - that reminds me, my sexy yellow rubber gloves (that keep my hands as soft as a babies bum) have holes and the bicycle repair kit has run out of patches...time for a new pair methinks...maybe a powder blue, or lime green with pink spots (to set off my eyes?)...?
Flying off a tangent. I know I'm cynical, but the Visa ads for " support the high street" might work better if they announced they were cancelling commission charges for business with a turnover , or square meterage below a given size.
Now those are seriously serious eh? They would make that ad about the mum and her daughter at the swimming gala a bit more amusing....
Not sure how they'd go with my blood shot eyes and various veins though...although they may quite nicely offset the old kids Christmas Stockings that I use for socks to keep my legs warm at this time of year....
We have never taken the seals off our dishwashers. Asking for trouble. Do clean round the sides and use a cleaner sachet every now and again and run it empty after cleaning the filters.
Bought the automatic version because the manual version wasn't up to scratch and we both worked long hours so why would you not just bung it in all in a machine if you could? Comes out cleaner and uses less water and doesn't break the posher crystal glasses when we've used them.

Ditto, I'd no more live without mine than live without a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine.
Don't folk use those dishwasher cleaners you stick in the cutlery tray?
White vinegar works just as well but most of the nasty stuff are the bits that have snuck through the seals and are lurking where the water won't touch them.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Washing machines are the same - all that clarty stuff that builds up in the dispenser bit.
..and why is that so hard to get out on some machines? Really rubbish design flaw.
No 'electric' dishwasher here either, although some of the kitchen staff are a little complacent about their duties.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Maybe one of these
