I'm left handed. apparently we hit the menopause before the right handed ones - I'd like to see this in this survey.....
I'm 47 and just hit the menopause!!!
I think lots of left handed people with be drawn to your survey and many right handed people will overlook it.

I however, did not. I am right handed.

Thanks poppy. After I posted it I did think to myself 'After all, being left handed is a bigger deal tha right handed. So maybe more lefties will respond which could fudge the figures'

However, I'm not phased by this and will carry on regardless. These statistics will found the basis of the future of mankind.
Right handed!

Oh, and I've awarded you 3 stars for being 'speshul'. Please dont't get offended my left-handed compatriates. We will one day rule the world (unless there are tin cans to open)
Left handed...
I'm left-handed.

Both my parents were left-handed.

All four of my grandparents were left-handed.

All of my aunts and uncles (even by marriage!) are (or were) left-handed.

To the best of my knowledge, all bar one of my many cousins are left-handed.

So, from our family's perspective, JennyJen02, you're definitely weird ;-)
I'm cack handed
I'm sure I read somewhere that right handed people have a higher life expectancy... :p
I'm right handed.....my sister is left handed....but there's only 5 in our family, so is it 1 in 5?
Barack Obama is left-handed and at the mo he's ruling the world....
Booldawg, I see you have committed yourself to continuing this research regardless. In that case may I give the number of right handed people I know to try to aid your findings- 372.

Oh, and thanks for the stars.

Buenchico - Hi Chris! I note that left handedness is very prevalent in your family. Not so in mine as far as I know 3 generations back have been right handed in my family.

I am also happy to note that in Guitar Hero: World Tour on the XBOX 360 that Jimi Hendrix is depicted as a left hand player.
I am left handed, but can use my right hand for lots of things because my teacher in Primary school thought it would be a good idea to "knock it out" of me, so rapped me over the knuckles every time I used my left hand. Now I can use both hands to flip off the old witch as I drive past her standing at the bus stop.
I'm left handed, and so is my OH - and I don't know how true it is, but if you (as a LH) have a stroke, you will probably not lose your speech and be able to carry on talking! (I'm prepared to be corrected on that!)
I'm left handed, my partner is left handed and my sister is left handed too!!
