    It's the same with brakes. Right hand rear, means you're queer.

    Or continental/american (but I concur it makes more sense if you are right handed to have it british way)

    Juan swapped my brakes over when he borrowed my bike/trailer/daughter combo at the BBB. Perhaps he thought that as well as having had mrs wilson take a shine to him, he could turn my head too?

    wristwatches were only invented in about 1914 or something, all to do with timing everybody going over the top and getting their brains and giblets blown all over Flanders on time or the like.

    "The French however, because they weren't into duelling and time-keeping, obviously drive on the right instead. "

    Stoner in fail again.

    He's French, wouldn't have mattered if you did, can't resist the temptation to jump down your throat … 😉

    because they weren't into duelling

    How can you have a duel if both parties have their hands up? 😉

    Brakes were turn the "rigth way around" to minimise the risk of crashing (you do remember at this point I was trailing your daughter ;)).

    Mind you didn't stop me for getting stuck in a log;)
    As for mrs julian I have NO idea what you are talking about

    I'm a righty, but that's more to do with the amount of scars I have on my left arm.

    ok what does it mean if you have the watch turn to the inside of your wrist?

    You know the type, the ones that have to twist their arms over to tell the time?

    and anyway the french are back to front because napoleon was sinister and wanted his sword hand to be between him and his enemy rather than the correct way round for 90% of the (even french) population.

    Not because he was a chippy precursor to a chippy juan.

    It means that you pour a pint over someone other than yourself when you look at your watch.

    invariably I find it means you have a weak handshake and probably teach languages.

    Stoner, Napoleon wasn't really French, though….! Corse and sinister!

    Coarse & sinister lefy, eh?

    Ernie_Lynch, perhaps?

    Coarse? No idea. I know that Ernie's not Corse, though.

    Last time we met I thought he looked more like Robespierre. Too tall for a Corsican?

    I did wear mine on the right until someone in a Ford KA decided to pull out on me on Monday night. It made a lovely dent in her wing!

    Why not?

    I know people who wear watches with the face on the underside of their wrist….. gayers!

    I wear mine upside down purley because I find it far more comfortabe with the flat of the watch face on the fairly flat underside of my wrist, and the flexible strap over the more curved top of my wrist. You can look at the time without spilling your pint too! lol. Holy shit I must be gay. 😯 😆

    Surely watches were invented long after a gentleman went out wearing a sword?

    Yes but before watches were invented gentlemen would wear a portable sundial on their left wrist.
