i just think that there is more important stuff in life to spend my money on. if anyone visits and sticks their nose up then they are shown the door. BTW its not as bad as those dirty house houses that you see on telly, those houses are just filthy and i wouldn't even set foot in them. its more of a CBA house lol.

anyway the world is nigh so what's the point

Sadly my late FIL refused to come into our house because HE thought it was too messy (not dirty). But with two kids and both of us working, there's not always time to make it sparkly clean.

Plus I agree with you, there's more to life than spending every free minute cleaning.

My BIL comes home from work and is known to go straight into a cleaning routine because its not tidy or clean enough. Even in the school holidays he spends time cleaning & hoovering rather than take his kids out. No wonder they're always bored and misbehave.

No idea, this is the first batch!

My grandparents used to have a garden full of everything a grandchild could wish for to raid Strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, peas...god they used to get stripped by six of us!, lettuce, cabbages, rhubarb....you name it, it was there. In the greenhouse, there was always tomatoes growing, and all the colours of the rainbow in the flowerbeds.
They could never get on with cucumbers though.

Nowadays, my parents have taken over for growing stuff in their garden. My eldest loves being in the greenhouse with grandad, they grow chillies and toms together.
I just need a big enough garden to have a greenhouse, then I can have a go properly. All the ones I grew from seed are down at my parents, with just the odd one here in the kitchen.

On a straight note, this e-coli thing, the reporting and the decisions, is totally bizarre. It's a Hamburg thing FFS, how could it be that fruit&veg grown in Spain or wherever suddenly becomes lethal only around Hamburg? Why isn't everyone dropping everywhere else in Europe? I bet a pound to a pinch of $hit it'll be tracked to some scabby worker in a packaging plant or some untreated sewage getting into the veggie wash tanks or such like near Hamburg. Only time I've ever had really bad food poisoning (ended up in A&E) was in Austria, it was from a sandwich bar.

On a lighter note, bring on the dirt I say. We evolved over the thousands of years with cack on our hands and worms in our guts, there is some evidence that worm infestation can make some allergies etc better. I don't go round licking the bowl so to speak, but if a biscuit drops on the floor it's still a biscuit.

Well, as Hamburg is the biggest port in Germany and handles the majority of the refrigerated cargo for the country, then its going to revolve around the distribution of any contaminated food source.

But you may be right in thye problem lies in how the produce was treated, AFTER it was imported into Germany

I am a strange individual (if you hadn't already realised this fact).

I do have a sort of compulsion to wash my hands but only in certain circumstances. I can touch dogs, cats, animals of most varieties, be covered in baby drool/sick/poop, get covered in mud and in certain circumstances blood too and not really be put up nor down about it.

Make me touch a railing on a bus or train, touch just about anything in London (or any other big city), money, dirty people, shopping baskets or trolleys, and I will have a fit if I can't wash my hands.....

However, I do also agree we are too clean!

Domestos, kills 99.9% of germs, surely they must have found a way of killing that .1% by now. Houses are for living in, if you want to clean some thing, come over here and i'll let you clean my bike and car
