Tons Of Americans Are Just Now Finding Out How Brits REALLY Wash Their Dishes, And The Reactions Are Killing Me

 

There's something weird happening on the internet (redundant, I know).

It's yet another discovery about how things are done over in the UK, and this time it's about doing the dishes (or, as it's called there, "washing up").  [...]

As someone that's observed washing dishes for years I can say I know of no Brit that does this. His momma would throw you out of the house for doing that. I could potentially see why this does happen though - 1) I've been in houses where the tap has no nozzle causing a full torrent of water to spray everywhere. 2) controlling hot and cold water in some houses is also an issue. 3) having hot water can be a problem. you won't find a giant water heater in houses and you will run out fast (when we had sunday dinners you'd sometimes need to wait an hour inbetween half a wash). 4) I have seen some sinks with no ability to plug them, thus is why a basin bowl might be used and some sinks may be very tiny.

 

My great grandmother and grandma used the basin bowl or plugging the sink method cannot say that they would ever not rinse the dishes though.

Certainly most UK sinks were single bowl. I thought washing up bowls were normal, think they came i with plastics in the early 60s.

British Police Arrest Praying Mantis For Public Prayer

According to eyewitnesses, the dangerous domestic extremist was apprehended right outside of Parliament, where the insect had the audacity to fold its forelegs together in silent prayer.

"Britain is safe once again," said constable Tom Smith as he affixed tiny handcuffs onto the mantis.  "Soon as I seen him, I knew he was praying — knew it with my mind powers.  Not on our watch, you little blighter."  [...]
