also struggled with. He questions the purpose of a washing up bowl within a sink. Now I remember my Nan had one because the plug was perished but aside from that what is the purpose of a plastic inner sink?
To make it more baffling to me when we had an extension and new kitchen, Lady Lucan absolutely insisted on a butler sink because they are bigger and look good - yet she still immediately inserted a standard sized plastic bowl within it.
To make the mind boggle further we have a dishwasher and the sink (and inner plastic sink) is only really ever used for bleaching dish cloths or pouring out dregs of unwanted tea and coffee.
Explain this please women of TWTD. [Post edited 18 Dec 2017 21:44]

My Mum has one because she thinks the sink is too dirty to do washing up in.
TBF this excuse had some validity when she still lived with my Dad on the farm as he'd wash his hands in the kitchen sink after dealing with animals, manure or repairing machinery. However, she kept doing it even after she'd moved out and couldn't be convinced that non-farm sinks were probably reasonably clean. |  | | |

I posed the same question to my new girlfriend having just ruined mine cleaning paintbrushes. Apparently they keep the washing up water hotter for longer, which despite my scepticism I have begun to notice. |  |

Yeah but there's less room for the dishes so the washing up takes longer and the water cooler
And they're stupid (you can take your pick here) |  |

Mmm. Can I suggest you counter that half logical advice with “Why not make the sink a bit smaller with a plastic membrane”
She what she has to say about that. | |

I finally persuaded Mrs Dubbers to discard our bowl about a year ago.
I rank it among my greater achievements in life. |  |

Good for you Dub. The more I think about it in confirms my belief that women are a little bit simple.
This might be the time to tell my joke that my kids are thoroughly bored with after all these years.
Me to kids, “I filled the dishwasher up last night - or make love as she likes to call it” | |

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I ruined mine and it's gone. They're rubbish, almost as annoying as those odd glass chopping board things that have no function but you have to wipe clean along with the surface underneath it. Now what are they about?? | |

I will never have a bowl. It's one of those fundamental opinions for me. |  |

You can rinse plates and stuff without messing up the washing up water. If you want to strain veggies or whatever at the same time you can lift the bowl out and back 8n again afterwards. |  | | |

I finished that a couple of weeks ago. I got it last year, only just got round to reading it.
I'm not a woman but I have a washing-up bowl. I stick all the dirty stuff in it until there's a bowl full to wash up. I can lift it all out when I need to drain pasta or rice in the sink.
And if you are really lazy (stoned) or bladderated and your bog is upstairs next to your bedroom and your mrs is asleep and you know if she sees you in this state you're going to be in trouble and it best not risking going upstairs and making a racket, you can lift the bowl up and piss in the kitchen sink without it going all over the dishes. |  |

I'm a bit of a germaphobe and tend to wash up under a running tap because I don't like the idea of reusing water. That's a bit weird isn't it?
Not a plastic bowl in sight though, in my defence. |  | | |

I fully appreciate your last paragraph but do you not have a downstairs tradesman toilet for drug pissing? Failing that you must have an outside. | |

I see the brainwashing is working, women are good at getting men to "see it their way" |  | | |

That place I was living in had no downstairs bog and the back door was a bastard to open without making a noise. I even tried pissing through the front door letterbox once but the inside flap came down a bit quick and nearly guillotined my chopper. | |

Exactly. And if you get caught short you can wazz down the side and not into your washing up.
I thought everyone knew this stuff  |  |

yanks don't do washing up bowls. Any food dregs straight down the waste disposal, plates and bowls straight into the dishwasher. |  |

Is it humanly possible having read something to then unread it and not know it was ever written? |  |

I can answer that as we had a kitchen redurb last month which left us with one sink in the utility room for two weeks and no dishwasher.
It’s so you can pour the dregs out of your tea cups or cereal bowlsdown the sink before putting it in the bowl to wash. If you didn’t have a bowl you’d hsve to open the bs k door and throw it out into the garden. [Post edited 19 Dec 2017 8:53]

Our dishwasher went wrong the other week.
That’s Induction Hob, Tumble Dryer, and Dishwasher. I managed to fix the dishwasher by taking it apart, removing the anti flooding device, drying the bottom of the dishwasher out, and refitting the anti flooding device. |  |
