what 'modern' convenience have you given up?, page-7

Never used the dishwasher in our current home. Lost the electric knife and can opener a few moves ago also.

Was in Harvey Norman's yesterday and had to pull hubby away from the gadgets display near the cashiers desk - he rather fancied the potato slicer. We've got one I explained - it's called a knife. Interesting conversation ensued on the way home - does the average home have enough cupboards for the ice-cream makers, donut makers, milkshake makers, popcorn poppers.... I'm thinkin' not. That must be why they keep making the houses bigger and the blocks smaller, to compensate.
