nice
John,
Why do you persist in holding hand tools in the wrong hand,
DaveH
That's NOT the wrong hand - John is using the CORRECT hand - it's you lot who are wrong !!!!
In these days of equality you can't be "handist"
I agree Andrew, but equality and political correctness can go too far sometime. Take the actor Dick van Dyke for example, who due to overzealous PC laws had to change his name to Penis van Lesbian. Poor man never landed an acting job again.
This should be required reading for everybody at school.
When I was at my preparatory school they tried to make me write right handed, with a dip pen and ink well, in copper script. You can imagine the hash I made of it.
I got my own back by putting calcium carbide in the ink wells when I was 'ink monitor' and filling them up with the 'Blue / Black Quink' that we used.
As a humorous aside the prep school was colloquially know as "The Inky" which was really a shortened form of "Incubator" as it was preparing us for the main Public School, but perhaps in retrospect the name was very apt !
(for our US cousins a 'Public School' in the UK is what you'd probably call a Private School)
I used to get told off for writing with my left hand
I can weld with eather and shoot a rifle right handed
I do most things with eather hand
