Subject:Re: Canadians - how do you drain your dishes, eh?

Richard,
a couple of years ago Ron Salmon (Bus Depot) gave me a fold down drain dish
drainer from a Westfalia that had suffered a fire. Try as I might, I could not
figure out how to replace my Canadian fixed splatter guard with the fold down
drainer without butchering the stove/sink lid. In the end I gave up and gave the
drainer back to Ron for someone smarter than I to play with it.
