Most of us get excited about something, be it new shoes, a particular band or a holiday.  Few however can claim to get excited about washing up, or more specifically the paraphanalia that constitutes the washing up experience.  Step up then please our very own communications guru Allie Johns.  Often seen in trendy bars or boogeying at concerts Allie has nurtured a cool image of herself that we have accepted unquestioningly….until now.

Having ranted for what seemed like months about the fact we had a round washing up bowl for a square sink Allie graced me with the email below, demonstrating just how anally retentive the lady can be:

 ”… I picked up a spanking new SQUARE washing up bowl for Studio North on my way back from meeting this morning. Oh my god. Yes. It’s actually true. We will have a bowl that fits the sink. Sad but true. Schedule an unveiling ceremony for it, first thing Tuesday.”

Of course being anally retentive does have its positives and we do now have a matching bowl and sink which is admittedly much more convenient.

Of course it hasn’t thwarted the washing up gremlin who dirties the dishes that everyone *ahem* leaves squeaky clean, maybe the next kitchen gadget could be CCTV so we could catch the rascal in the act.
