And I thought you guys were so butch.

I don't actually possess a pair myself, you understand ; and if I did they would only be for doing manly work on my motorbike - errrm, of course .

I just use disposable rubber gloves like what the doctors use, but I presume you mean for bike repairs and not actually washing-up.

I was gonna say for washing up i find skin works ok.

After bike repairs washing up gets all that stubborn oily grime out

To be honest I don't bother for loading the dishwasher or washing something by hand, I'm more likely to put them on if I'm cleaning the oven or hob, it's mostly Mr Summerdays in this house and so they are size large!

Indeed - I've stored that little gem away for future use

I have to use latex free ones. So I don't usually bother. With the washing up.

We're still talking about washing up gloves, or is this a bit of thread drift?

Oh we are, have a dishwasher.

I can't possibly imagine what else anybody could think I was talking about

Always surprised at why people buy gloves. Seems a complete waste.

Mr Summerdays gets dry chapped hands very easily in winter so not getting them soggy helps.

Allergy to washing up liquid? Some of the ingredients are evil! I find I get blotchy itchy hands if I use lemon flavoured washing up liquid. I do have some sort of allergy to certain soaps/detergents/smelly stuff - or at least that is the main suspect; the dermatology clinic have never really identified the cause.

Can he not use that as an excuse not to do it?

I have to wear gloves as I also get chapped hands,but I find that they last a long time, the only problem being is that they make things slippery and I drop things.
Are you. running a restaurant? Mine last about a month.

There may be something in the perfume to which you're allergic. The perfume is only there at 0.5% and most of those ingredients at much less than 10% in the perfume but if a million people use a dishwash it's not surprising if at least one has a problem with one of the ingredients. There are also various bactericides and thickeners in dishwash.
