If you don't use a bowl how do you rinse stuff in very hot water when you have finished to get suds off, make sure glass doesnt streak, and to get it to mostly dry in the rack, negating the need for constant tea-towel changery?

What? eh, 'mostly dry in the rack' what? - put it in the rack and leave it. End of.

You lot need something else in your lives without a doubt. That's probably why you seek to fill that gap with a washing up bowl...

But then it dries streaky, no? If you haven't put the dishes away, the washing up isn't finished, and I often fill one rack and need to put the contents away before continuing the washing up. We (well, I) seem to use a lot of pans, mixing bowls etc.

Fair enough if your doing wine glasses for a meal or a restaraunt but I'm not that bothered if my pint pot is a bit streaky as long as it's clean.
microwave meals are the answer to your second problem.
YES I RINSE - so what ...
you can soak things which need it
you can pile up the dishes in it and move them out of the sink en masse if you aren't ready to wash them yet
glasses are less likely to break if they bump the side
they are useful to soak your feet in after a long walk
you can throw water over the neighbours cat
use it to water plants
a great drum for visiting kids to play
you could mix punch in it or serve something like a big salad at a party (ie doubles as a serving dish) ...
shall I continue ???

Do you soak your feet and serve salad out of the same washing up bowl?

My wife will not tolerate streaks on glasses, plates or cutlery.
Change your wife then

Ours mostly sits on the worktop with a few dirty plates in it, leaving the sink clear until it's time to wash up.

NO, bad washing up bowls, especially if like my ex you leave the bloody thing in the sink the whole time anyway, just meant the outside of the bowl and inside of the sink was fucking disgusting. That in no way whatsoever kept the sink clean cos all the drain off just sat there. Plus finding theres a bloody great disgusting bowl to move thats full of cutlery/etc is a huge pain in the ass when ur trying to drain pasta.
Hold item to be rinsed, run hot tap til its very hot, rinse under running water

That's the reason. I've only got one sink/bowl so if I used just the sink and some twerp came up with a cold cup of tea, I'd have to send them off to dump it in the bathroom sink or something.
Oh, and another reason - particularly if you've got a porcelain sink, you're more likely to break glass or china if you bang them on it than you would with a plastic washing up bowl. Could be dangerous as well as messy and inconvenient.

I very much understand the point of the washing up bowl, it's for tipping slops of tea/the odd baked bean down the side that you forgot to deispose of before you ran the bowl.
Saying that I don't use on at the moment. Not sure why as I have one.
Only on urban a 5 page debate on the point of the washing up bowl

Can someone please say why there appears to be so much terror about the matter of cold tea on this thread. Where I come from people used to take cold tea down't pit with them but I bet they didn't take a washing up bowl with them cos they used to drink it ffs.

I have a butler sink, to fill that up would take a fuck load of water. And yes, I could use less but then wouldn't get full coverage on large items.

NO!
Its actually more that I can't be arsed to wash up all the time and find half full glasses and mugs all over the house. Usually after I have filled the sink!
