  I like the name “Miss Mop” the best.

  The word ‘crockery’ is superb, i think.
  i also think i will use ‘washing up liquid’ instead of dish soap from now on.

  This page is great, by the way. One of my favorites. i don’t know why i haven’t commented before now.

  I guess “washer upper” is British for “dishwasher”. I’m so jealous of their language.

  You know, I never received written instructions on the washing-up process, so I appreciate this and will keep this procedure in my wallet.

  I would also tag this post under “things you swosh.”

  In my head when I read this I heard it in Julie Andrews’ (as Mary Poppins) voice. I was expecting to hear some singing of “Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down” but alas, it was not meant to be.

  Love your site. LOVE IT.

  I think you should add the washing up soap before adding the water

  I am SO addicted to this site… but a washer-upper is a person who does the dishes here in good old Britain- an electric-powered dishwasher is just a dishwasher, I’m afraid…. And I agree with Dave, the washing-up liquid goes in first, then gets “swoshed” around…

  Good stuff passive peeps. Looks like you’ve moved to a more dedicated server and dropped the wordpress servers. Hope you profit from the Ads a little, I clicked on a few to add my 2 cents worth for ya.

  Wow. Somebody gets all worked up because of 2 plates, 6 mugs, 2 glasses and an undefined amount of cutlery? Doesn’t sound that much… though I suppose it’s all right if you have to do it every day. But anyway, love the how to!

  … but to how many people has he/she sent it to, for crying out loud??

  hmm, 2 plates..etc. they should live in my house where it’s always at least 10 plates, as many cups/glasses and enough utensils to serve a battalion. washing dishes sometimes takes as much as half an hour (more if there’s curry)

  lol i can’t get over the “crockery” and the “washing up” .. too cute.
  (2 bowls, some cups, and cutlery? she considers this a situation that throws her over the edge? Atleast they HAVE a “washer upper” .. imagine doing all of those dishes by hand!)

  FYI, ‘washer upper’ isn’t what British people call a dishwasher. That would be an.. um, dishwasher. A washer upper is a person who does all the washing up (or dish cleansing, or whatever the hell Americans call it).

  Why is the word ‘crockery’ so amusing? Has that one not made it across the pond?
