I will refuse to be without a dishwasher ever again - it's an essential!
Oh, me too, I think I'd rather do without a washing machine than a dishwasher 
Have you tried washing towels and sheets by hand?.............oh the wringing!!!!!!
Done it! used to help my mam in the wash house in the back yard when I was little. Boiling sheets and stuff overnight

But you can take the washing to the launderette (or a friend's) ... there is nowhere to take the washing up

This is like, how the other half live isn't it? 
Uh huh
My dishwasher has been out of action for four or five years ....................I keep saying I won't get a new one until I get a new kitchen! STILL WAITING! TBH - it doesn't really bother me.
Leave it stacked (rinsed) to the left of the sink....OH will eventually have to wash it up, if only for his morning porridge bowl and spoon before he goes to work!

tbf, it wasn't me who wanted the dishwasher in the first place. Hubby has always done the washing up - it was him who insisted on it

I dunno, people dunno they're born nowadays
I don't have a dishwasher, and my dishes are like the bits left over at the end of a car boot sale.. not a thing matches 
And there's a thing! I used to have saucers, where did they go ? ( they must go to the odd sock and single earring place ! )

My poor old Mum would wince..............the demise of the saucer.....
Pedantic Polly here. All white crockery with the occasional black plate/serving bowl and dish to tone in with the decor 
Cappuccino cups and saucers for the cappuccinos, espresso cups for the espressos and tall latte glasses for the.....yeah, you got it.
Tea from bone china (small) mugs although I do make allowances for the "I'd rather be having a fag" and "Queen of F**king Everything" mugs 'cos the kids bought them for me.
Dishwasher's have definitely got smaller - without WARNING, and I can't remember the last time that I had to wash a full stack of crockery by hand. I think the Washing Up Pixie does the outsized stuff during the night

I understand your stance....

I hoped knew someone sane would 
I know what Slinki means too about stuff going AWOL. With me it's dessert spoons.
With crockery you smash or chip them and throw them in the bin but how can spoons go on the missing and just disappear?
