Doomed! We are all doomed - apparantly

Latest research published today in the Telegraph shows deadly bugs lurking in our dishwashers according to "scientists" from the university of ljubljana.

The figures show that of 189 dishwashers in 101 homes 62% were infected with fungii harbouring dangerous bacteria.

Must be a wealthy place that Ljubljana with nearly 2 dishwashers in every house

As the author of the article Shirley Conran says "the Postman Pat school of science"

I must read the Torygraph more often with articles like this.

Do you recognise any "Postman Pats" on this forum.

As you may guess I have also been Reading "how to make friends and influence people"

Cheers!

I dont have a dishwasher yet, getting one for the garage though to wash parts in....

Better keep it cleaned out.

I certainly wouldn't wash my parts in a dishwasher

I'd imagine slamming the door shut would be the worst bit, once that's done yo should be fine....providing you don't get tangled up in the spinning blades

I remember reading in focus mag that of all the cells in a human body, only 10% are that of the person and the other 90% are those of bacteria etc

Nice

We've got an inbuilt dishwasher with the most stupid piece of design I've seen. All the controls are on the top of the door so you have to have the door open to see/use them. One of the warning lights there is a 'door open' warning light. The only time you can see it is when the door is open. Gah!
