Slightly changing the subject, so excuse me please for that, my wife is left handed amd bemoans the gadgets that work well for right handed people but not lefties - such as, surprisingly to us righties, a serrated bread knife - hence we always have sliced bread.
I thought she had finally flipped her lid when she told me about a left handed pencil she had bought.
She showed it to me and it looked just like any other pencil until she pointed out the subtle difference - if you hold an ordinary pencil in your right hand, you can read the maker's name along the wooden barrel normally but, if you transfer it to the other hand, the writing is upside down! A left handed pencil has the writing the other way up so it reads normally when in the left hand but, to us righties, the writing is the wrong way up.
It's a bit of a curiosity, really, as it actually writes OK whichever hand you hold it in of course. She got it from a shop in London that specialises in left handed goods.
