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?

We drove on the left also until 1923 and the Japanese still do.

New Zealand too. That is when dyslexia is a plus. I just flipped left
and right in my brain and carried on. It made Judy crazy when I said I
was going up here and turning left ... and I went right. The skill set
is the same. (look at the traffic in the "right" way and such.)

A few years ago I flew into London and drove about 80 miles to a town north of there. I had rented a car, and made sure I got an automatic transmission since I didn't want the added hassle of shifting a manual with the wrong hand. Remembering to keep to the left was hard enough. I had done it in the Cayman's but had a co-pilot with me then, in the UK I was by myself. I was there a week, and still found myself walking up to the left side of the car to get in most of the time. Old habits and all.

Company I worked for in the 80's, had a London area office. One of the
engineers from there was over here for 6 months. When he arrived back in
England, leaving the airport, forgot which country he was in, and got in a
head on accident. Low speed and no one hurt luckily.

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

Yes. The Bahamas, like Bermuda, Canada and New Zealand are (or were)
UK colonies/countries. I think Japan is the only exception but I'm
not sure. I've driven on the left a number of times but it requires a
great deal of focus.

Intersections are tough after driving on the right for your whole life.

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