Why

Why would you put half full mugs of coffee & tea, soup in winter, unrinsed breakfast porridge bowls and lunch crockery in a scratched plastic bowl inside a perfect stainless steel sink to fester in the water added throughout the day from other people rinsing mugs, bowls and cutlery and getting water for coffee & tea from the filtered taps, until the cleaners come in in the evening to wash it up. 

Can you image how many bacteria is growing in the scratches. No matter how often and how well the plastic bowl is washed  it never gets a chance to dry properly and the bacteria and any other life forms can flourish in the little cracks and scratches not even visible to the human eye.

After more than 11 year in England nobody could tell me why. 

If I stretch my imagination I can accept that it can be useful when the washing up to pour the left overs from cups, mugs and glasses down the sink without dirtying the washing up water. But why put everything without first getting rid of the dregs in a bowl from where the water cannot drain out and letting it lie in dirty dish water (without soup) for 8 hours?

(By the way, it usually is worse than in the blip. This was a good day for basic hygiene)
