I inadvertently started this.
I intended the tomato/tomayto analog. I was intending to suggest that most likely, to an English person, an Irish accented London Dock worker using English language rhyming slang would probably have been hard to distinguish from Irish. It wasn’t a particularly funny joke, but it didn’t cross my mind that it could be offensive, and I was surprised it caused so much upset. However, you learn, and it certainly did cause upset, and I was told it was racist so I apologised immediately and won’t say the same in future. And apologies again.
Now I wish I had a meme to share but I don’t

^this. You ought to be able to use a normal twist knob of any style you like, cut the square bar shorter and not drill a hole for it on the outside. What is the locking system? Does it have a servo you can operate remotely or something? Or once you’ve gone out do you have to walk round to the other door …?!

I saw Ed Milliband talk [phone it in from his constituency in Donny for reasons unknown] at the Hay Festival* on the climate with Professor Emeritus Sir Dave King. Ed seemed very committed, knowledgeable and fired up to do the best he can do for climate change, while also being pragmatic. He argued with the crowd at points, including disagreeing with someone who said endless growth wouldn’t work (don’t know where I stand on this) and with an emotional and aggressive just stop oiler about their methods. The only silly thing he said was a reference to just stop oil protesters stopping people seeing dying relatives in hospital, as if that is the only reason anyone drives…
In short I was much more impressed than I expected to be, but I’ve just listened to Rachel Reeves on The Rest Is Politics and she sounded just like Starmer - said a lot without saying a lot.

This may be right to replace the sink hose

It’s not too hard to fix / replace.
You could replace the whole lot with something like this
But:
1) I think the grey stuff is euro thread, so if you replace the trap you’d also need to replace the sink drain bit, or buy an adaptor.
2) it should be possible to just replace the hose.
Then the washing machine waste is straightforward if you can reach it - find out how long it is, buy a new one the same, detach old, reattach new.

Late to the party but no! Pick up a pile of forks left hand and a pile of knives right hand, walk round table laying them, done.
