Why won't my dishwasher clean porage off a wooden spoon?

Oh and cleaning out peanut butter jars for recycling is a massive pain in the 'arris too. Bloody oily nasty stuff that soap won't shift.

Peanut butter should be sent to Room 101.

Get Goldilocks to lick the spoon

Get Goldilocks to luck the spoon

Grrrrr. My mind. I misread that. You should be more careful what you write.

Just use the wooden spoon the other way round.

How would stirring with he convex side forward stop it sticking?

Anything that removes sycamores from the face of the earth is fine by me... self-seeding weeds, just like rowan saplings!
...and breathe.

Cut my teeth in forestry and used to believe the same. But, the sycamore is a pretty fine tree in lots of respects.
The roots cleverly give off gases to prevent other species growing in its drip line. The timber is the only one you could argue was clean enough for kitchenware, untreated. It's an archaeophyte, so has been around since at least 1500: its non-nativeness is irrelevant now imho. And find a figured sycamore and a veneer manufacturer and you'll be a very rich man.
The sap can be tapped and processed as a tastier alternative to maple syrup - it is delicious, but rather laborious....
The leaf litter of sycamore is far denser than other forest trees, and small mammals thrive in it in autumn.

That's impressive Rondomnerd but still not enough to make me want to plant one or allow one to grow where it's not wanted.

Acer platinoides... when did they start legitimising weeds!

But not a garden tree.

Platinoides is a norway maple. Pseudoplatanus is the "weed".

Big space, big tree. There is one at the bottom of my garden; admittedly I've a big yard and it's rural/ Cut it down every dozen or so years and get three or four barrows of firewood and a bit of exercise.

Oops, thanks RN, I knew I should've looked it up instead of trying to remember from my days of doing Housing Association landscape layouts from the late 80s [all because Anchor Housing wouldn't pay for the services of a Landscape Architect!]
