    A query really, but curmudgeonly on my part. I have a small dishwasher,but for glasses,etc have always used Fairy Platinum,which was pale green opaque stuff. I don't use much. Bottle usually lasts for months. Aldi and Lidl had their own just as good,looked exactly the same. Since last year I haven't seen it,so bought the normal green Fairy. I don't like it. Before Christmas,I bought the orange one, meant to cut through the grease,it's almost gone and useless. Wonder if they have discontinued my favourite.  I asked in Sainsbury's, they don't know

    Can I be the teensiest bit curmudgeonly and ask if Wordle can be moved to a seperate thread? Just a thought

    We put glasses, including crystal, in the dishwasher.  As long as they are wel stacked and the salt and rinse-aid levels are maintained they are fine on the standard wash cycle.   The only thing that isn't good is old fashioned china with a pre-dishwasher-proof glaze or a gold rim.

    We use an eco washing up liquid for non-stick pans, dog bowls, compost corner bin and recycling bins.

    I wonder if the takeaways are delivered in suitcases.

    I was rather hoping those who DO it might start one.

    Well @B3,  with piggies at the head of this thread, do you know something we don't?

    Why has No 10 apologised to the Queen for the 'parties' held on the same day as Prince Philip's funeral? Shouldn't everyone be waiting for the outcome of the inquiry - as how does no 10 KNOW they were parties until the inquiry publishes its findings?

    The bloke for whom the party was held has admitted it.

    I felt for the Queen that day but it isn't actually the point, is it? It's not because they had a party that was disrespectful to Phillip's memory. It's because we were in lockdown, which isn't anything to do with the Queen. The papers are picking up on it because we all remember that day, that image of her, so we can form the contrast very clearly.

    I come back to my previous comment, that the people at the centre of Government seem to have had a par - sorry - "work event" at least once a week.

    I assume the reason they haven't shut this story down by saying 'yes there was a party on this and that date, we're very sorry, moving on...' as they normally would, is because the list of parties is so long, it would be horrifying to everyone, so they can't and they keep hoping no one will mention the others. Consequently, this is going to go on for weeks, with the papers taking turns to 'out' another one every few days
