Once would have been too many times for me, but this kid actually tells her that he LIKES it. As far as I'm concerned she's lost the battle with him and needs to find some other way to deal with him.

So I don't mind little soap taste here or there.

This was to wash away the pesticides or whatever. When I came home I then washed everything in soappy water - but then spent ages rinsing. Then came the research about the harm that washing-up liquid could do. So I still washed the veg and fruit but rinsed even more! Now I just wash them in plain water because it was as they say 'doing my head in'.<BR/><BR/>I have to rinse dishes. What's more, I have to rise a clean cup out, but not dry it, before I use it - I 'inherited' this trait from my Mum, who tells me she 'inherited' it from her father.<BR/><BR/>I shouldn't start down the OCD route.

I lived through the Great Drought of 1977-8 in Northern California, when every person was allowed a one-minute shower per day or one (shallow) bath per week and fined drastically if they went over their limit. We also had a rather coarse mnemonic device to aid us in remembering when we could flush: 'Yellow is mellow, but brown goes down.' The campus at U.C. Berkeley actually had a color chart to show you when you ought to flush -- I kid you not. To this day, I am water-frugal, just having lived through that.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, you are the FIRST British person I have heard of who actually rinses her dishes, and you cannot imagine how relieved I am to know that SOMEBODY I know here does that! A Japanese friend of mine living in Wales actually kept a record of how many British people he knew who rinsed their dishes. (He and I both had a thing about soapy dishes.) After five years here, he reckoned it was about 3% of the population, so consider yourself one of the precious few -- and more power to you!Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.com
