I cannot believe a post about dish washers and tumble driers provoked such threads. Give me a break.

I dont know about anyone else but when renting anywhere back home a tumble drier and a dish washer are luxury items and generally not included in the rent. Even dishwasher hookups are not the norm.

As for the bathroom sockets, they dont have them here because it is common practise to literally flood he bathroom with water when showering etc. Also washing for prayer can leave the floors pretty slippy. Same concept applies when middle eastern people go to the UK and see carpet on the bathroom floor. _____________________________________________________
