    my mum has had one of these for years, well at least 30 as she got it just before I was born (and i turned 30 this month...eeekkkkkk)

    anyway, 30 years later neither myself, mum, dad, nans, grandad, other friends and family members have never suffered.

    what about getting your big wooden chopping board and putting a plastic one on top when needed to do the meat and then just move it to the sink for washing (yes, you have wash your own dishes when you move out) and you can use the wooden board for veg etc??

    Exactly. We're breeding a world of weak people. We all need more germs! :beer:

    Yeah I'll probably do that. Although I'll leave the washing up for the washing up fairys! :D

    or if the fairies take their time in appearing, the ants will probably walk your dishes away and then you can just get new ones :rotfl::rotfl:

    Do you REALLY need to have a huge tv?

    :confused: Do you REALLY need to ask? :rotfl:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
