I was in a friends house once and as usual when visitors came
he was ever the genial host. The kettle went on and all the cupboards
were opened and we had a fine meal. Then the cupboards were opened
again and out came biscuits, cake, all manner of sweet treats and more tea.
God I said you'll have a lot for the dishwasher now.
Dishwasher? He said, none of those luxuries here.
What would I want a dishwasher for when I have four daughters?
All four daughters looked at him.
I looked away.
