that's all very well but does preclude ever owning a decent knife , even if I have to concede copper pans may be a luxury
Dish washer or washing up ?

Ah, but "filled" there hides a lot of crud-scraping and pre-rinsing. You can make any option look simpler by abbreviating its description. Plus, you need to be careful only to use dishwasherable items when making and serving the meal, else you're getting busy with the Fairy anyway, as well as tending an expensive unitasking machine.

Same Julia. Scrape excess into the bin in exactly the same way I would if washing up by hand. Never pre rinse anything. All knives go in the dishwasher. Only things that don't are "best" glassware and glasses with any logos on them as they tend to fade over time with repeated dishwashing. I tend to hand wash the best pans but they sometimes go in the dishwasher if I can't be arsed
Stuff like plates are properly clean after dishwashing. Same can't be said for handwashing...water is full of crap and the teatowel is too

..faded aka shotblasted with the crud that wasn't rinsed off the plates...
Of course the water's full of crap. That's what soap does. The water coming out of the dishwasher won't be clean either. But the teatowel... that shouldn't be... if it is, that means someone can't wash up properly. Probably better they use a dishwasher rather than harm others, but it would be better if they washed up more carefully.

It's all nonsese. I just let the dog lick everything clean and stick them back in the cupboard.
Mind you, just like the dishwasher you musn't do this with your good knives

Reminds me of the dogs versus kids argument I used to have with a friend. I always used to say that the dog can't load the dishwasher!

Nah, but I'm sorry you don't use any nice stuff or use a dishwasher properly

Yes, it's all poverty-chic in sunny Stevenage.

Asian household, zero need for machine dishwashers 
as the meal table holds more bowls than flat plates; most dishes & cookware are too big to fit upright in washer.
In Australian-designed kitchens, those machines are used for storage - most handy for baking pans & wide items like that.
In the one new kitchen I moved into, builders left cavity for dishwasher... so i filled it with a custom made under bench shelf for microwave and wine bottle racking below it. (Largely teetotal too... but still more useful than a dishwashing machine!)

You could do that in our household some days i wipe any sauce or juices left over on the plate with a slice of bread all it would need is a spit and some polish to be ready for the next meal

I reckon that when you switch on a dishwasher a small hatch opnes inside which releases a Labrador, who then licks the plates clean. The dishwasher noises are merely a sound effects tape.
Interestingly, one article I read suggested that handwashing helps prevent childhood allergies by exposing growing kids to more bacteria and contaminants.
