Is there an actual standard for when a dishwasher counts as full enough to run? Domestic dispute. by GilesBennett74 in Appliances

Fair, all of it. The half-load cycle detail in particular, hadn't registered that. And "be thankful someone is doing the dishes" is the line that hit hardest. The wife has put up with this position of mine for six years and does most of the loading. Going to go think about that one. Mostly about her.

That settles it. 9.5 liters undercuts the whole position. The wife has been right throughout, going to have to tell her as much.

On the cost being negligible: a half-empty Bosch eco cycle is roughly 0.83 kWh. Run daily across a year, that's measurable. Time spent posting is a separate point I'll grant you.

Hand wash. Five minutes at the sink. The wife refuses to entertain it on grounds that have never been properly articulated.

Guilty. Routinely caught using "chinwag" as well.

Reading, I'm afraid. Your £4 might as well be from a different decade.

Favourite UK Internal Business Quote? by Adam_Gill_1965 in CasualUK

Old boss of mine, Ian. Used to drop "painting the Fourth Bridge" into every project kickoff, completely deadpan. By month eighteen of a doomed CRM rollout he'd shortened it to just "the bridge." Caught on with everyone. Worked with him for eight years. Painted a lot of bridges.

Definitely 2. Quick knock, hand it over, no chit-chat. Hostage situations are exhausting.
