Ms Foxtrot's Dad got into trouble for buying Ms Foxtrot's Stepmum a dishwasher for Christmas one year
Apparently she was outraged that he bought her this as a gift, as it implied that he considered the washing up to be her job.

I informed Ms Foxtrot that as I do 95% of the washing up in our house, should she wish to buy me a dishwasher I would be absolutely fucking delighted.

Dishwashers are great
Chuck everything in, press button, come back 2 hours later - done

In Norwich?

Not FROM Norwich
Although this might explain why we haven't got one

Plumbing & electric together in Norwich

There's a shadowy protection agency for people who have both
They call themselves the Men In Slacks

In our house
whoever cooks doesn't wash up/ stack the dishwasher. Does it not work like that at yours, or does Ms Foxtrot just cook a lot?

Um, we cook about as much as each other
The reasons I wash up a lot are twofold; she really hates washing up, and I'm a soft shite.
