What is the point of a washing up bowl?

[dodgepot]

and 31 clearly chose an option other than "no"

 

[cesare]

20 say yes, 15 say no, 9 say grey area, 2 say loganberry beret.

of 46 voters, 26 clearly choose an option other than 'yes' thus the washing bowl fanatics are in the minority despite them thinking otherwise.

Just as an aside: the only person I know of who uses a WUB once showed up at a pot-luck picnic with a huge potato salad in a strangely familiar-looking enamelled metal bowl. She either has two identical ones, or...

Suction-cup hooks won't suck on my backsplash

Excellent

I think that sounds like a fine WUB. I want a pink WUB now.

That looks like a potty. You wash your plates in a toilet.

You can prove anything with facts

 

[ymu]

So you can wash any gunk, pour any tea, RINSE any crap without doing so into the washing up water. Case closed.

Prezactly.

With thinking like that we should all drive range rovers and have a private jet because of 'the benefits'

no - our toilet flushes. we're that bit more advanced, you see, in london...

 

[ymu]

1) because we lost the fucking sink plug, it's a stupid size one, no-one got a new one.

This too. The Boy just threw out our WUB because it got manky and he couldn't be bothered to wash it rolleyes so now we're washing up under the tap until we get around to buying a new one.

ah, cheap humour, a sign you know you're defeated, roll out the inflamatory stereotyping, the refuge of the ignorant...

Where's the I don't really care as long as hubby keeps doing the dishes option??

 

[ymu]

On the peripheral subject of plastic racks I bet a pound to a dollar that those people also have a plastic container for their brush, sponge and scourer and that the bottom of it is filthy and they spread that filth all over their washing up. There. I've said it.

Ideally, plastic drying racks should be washed up first (and the WUB last). If a container is used to dry the cutlery, items must be placed handle end down to minimise possible contamination. Similarly, washing-up brushes should be deposited with the brush in the air and the handle in the manky bit. Sponges may be kept on a flat soap dish, the side of the sink or in the WUB as you see fit.

It's no wonder we keep getting the governments we do if that's your level of commitment on the issues of the day? 'Where is the 'I'm not in iraq so i don't care about the war option''

ffs.

But if you use the washing up brush to clean the rack it opens up a whole world of pain with gunk splatters contaminating all over the shop

Sponge.

Sponge.

As long as it's not one of them natural harvested ones brought back from the Greek Islands in 1985

No, I clean mine on a regular basis.

I'll have you know I always vote because women fought for my right to do so and I feel very strongly about that, but dishes???? Pah!!!! I'd use paper ones rather than wash up regularly

There isn't a Londis within a bus ride from here

No, I clean mine on a regular basis.

The exception proves the rule. The next question is; is your rack bigger than your sink? And if it is, how can you soak it properly
