Yes, kokmak is to smell, but here it's "looks like, seems"...

Quoting Lyndie: When you think about it, it makes good sense, why do we dry clean dishes on bacteria infested tea towels?

When Linda said it makes sense I thought about another smillar subject that would have make sense if Brits would think about it.
Every morning I'm shaving and washing my face in a sink like this:
http://www.happyworker.com/fun/postcards/img/back/Sink.jpg
It has two taps, one for cold and one for hot water. The problem is that hot water is too hot and cold water is too cold. I need the mixture of both. So I keep holding my hands under one tap and then the other to get some of both to wash my face. When I'm washing my hands I choose the hot tap but I must be very fast since the hot water gets too hot very quickly. Sometimes I end up burning my hands a little with hot water and then calming them down under cold water.
Isn't it possible for Brits to change the taps, change the plugs, switch to Euro and run traffic on the right side. Life would have been so easier.

Quoting Lyndie:
Generally in England, if you haven't got a dishwasher people tend to fill a sink or big washing up bowl with hot bubbly water and sling everything in and then give em a good scrub take the items out put them on the side and dry them on a tea towel.
In Turkey, you lavishly squirt dishwashing liquid on to a sponge. YOu then soap everything all over, and when you have finished, rinse everything under hot water and leave to dry. This is just in keeping with the Muslim culture of washing everything in running water. I particularly like the part where you don't have to dry up the dishes. When you think about it, it makes good sense, why do we dry clean dishes on bacteria infested tea towels?

Well i do a mix! I first rinse everything with water to get the first grease off , then fill the sink with hot, bubbly water and scrub it over. Then i rinse everything under hot water and leave it to dry. Sometimes i still go over it with the towel, as not all the knives and forks dry well this way. And i always clean the glasses with a towel, otehrwise they wont get shiny anymore.

Well.. I guess you should buy a new one then.. because in Holland (and in UK too) we have water taps that are like this:click!
You can choose your own temperature of water by either adding cold (right/blue) and warm (left/red) water. It works perfectly.
For showers there are also thermostate-showers. You can just switch to the number of degrees you want (for example 40 degrees). then the water automatically becomes that temperature.
