Think British, man. Think British!

I can't say it truly is in the queens arsenal today, though it might
be in reserves, but the Lewis showed its head at the Fauklands a few years ago.

Yeah you are right, They still have a Queen. I guess they never get
rid of any anachronism

And they still drive on the left when most of the world is on the
right. How weird is that?

When I worked in the Bahamas, we drove on the left. Do they still do so?


US Virgin Islands also drive on the left. They said it was a leftover from
when the roads were donkey trails.

And I believe the 'driving on the left' is what leads the British to walk on the left, whereas here
we generally walk on the right. I also believe we train dogs in this country to heel on the left
because the British, who probably invented 'heeling' train their dogs to do so. In Britain, then,
two dogs meeting will meet with the humans between them. But, here, the dogs meet head on. We should
be training our dogs to heel on the right.

There, I'm glad I finally got that off my chest.
