Might be a job for the GC helicopter........

Now, we are all aware that there is a black hole where socks go to frolic, and that the black hole is somehow connected to our washing machines (socks always go INTO the machine in pairs?).

Well, I am now wondering if there is a similar black hole (or perhaps an extension of the sock one?) which is connected to dishwashers and sinks.

What is FC prattling on about now, I hear you cry? Well, it is entirely possible that I have finally lost the plot, but surely I cannot be alone in this?

Teaspoons.

Missing ones to be exact.

Over the past few weeks, I have had a notion that our cutlery drawer has had a diminishing collection of teaspoons, and my notion was confirmed yesterday when Mrs C made mention that she too thought there had to be teaspoons missing.

Now, I have done a reccy today, just to ensure that none of the missing 'fleet' have made their way into other drawers or cupboards, and found nothing - so the question has to be where the hell are they?

Oddly enough, at work we regularly find ourselves having to buy teaspoons as they go missing, and up until now we have been blaming the canteen staff for taking them in the belief that they belong to the canteen - - - now, I don't think we can be too sure...

So, what do we reckon ladies and gents? Have the wheels finally fallen off my trolley, or is this a more widespread problem?

 

Ooooh - maybe Somerset is the outflow end of the black hole...............

 

Aye, no spoons hiding away.

 

I did actually contemplate buying only black socks of the same type so that I could do that, but it never really works out like that.

 

Que?
