thanks bhg481 - was interested because this evening's episode of The Last Kingdom showed him writing left handed.
Very droll jackdaw33 - thank you for that observation.
Jackdaw33 -it was just a silly thought really when I noticed the actor using his left hand when writing - I wondered if if were due to fact or if he just happened to be a leftie - good research if it was the former though.
Woofgand will indeed give it a google - thank you - through the ages we left handers have been called all sorts of things - sinister is the first one that springs to mind followed by gauche. I like to think we are just a bit special!
Yes bhg481 - sinister and awkward - my brother enjoyed reminding me of that when we were growing up - and as for cutting bread, well everyone winces when I get hold of a knife but it works for me.
a high percentage of leaders are left handed - Cameron, Brown, Blair, Bush (theShrub), OBambam, Reagan, Clinton, just to begin with - Napoleon too and how the States ended up driving on the wrong side of the road........as Napoleon took his troops over to the other side, the States, as their puppets at the time, following.
