I made panic calls to local repair services... I was oh so polite, proffered pleasantries, cajoled and basically just ended up full on begging... But the computer said no, it would have to wait until the following week.
Of course, a broken dishwasher is a first-world, spoilt middle-class problem, and in the global arena, it isn't classed as an emergency. I thought about how people struggling in underdeveloped and war-torn countries have to walk for hours to collect meagre water rations to drink.
It made me realise just how reliant we've become on mod cons. We (husband, three daughters and the dog) have resorted to using disposable plates.
