International Left Handers Day

[Stephen]

Anybody else like me who eats with the fork in the left hand but then uses a spoon in the left hand as well. It seems logical to me as I use the left hand to shovel move food from plate to mouth. Surely I'm not the only one.

Same here

I would throw a dart left handed, I would hold a tennis racket and snooker cue left handed, but would hold a golf club and cricket bat right handed.

Would be interesting to know the ratio of left versus right - no doubt it may be recorded somewhere?

when I was at college I did a study of left handed-ness - it was 10% then (1974ish)

[Mervyn and Trish]

But that was slewed by people being forced to be right handed. I bet it's different now.

But Stephen, the true test is how you would hold a hockey stick !

I wouldn't, it'd be firewood

It's still quite rare - depending on what reports you read it's still only 11% to 14% of the population that is naturally left handed

Makes us special

Makes us special

We know we are the elite!

International Left Handers Day? Definitely a sinister occasion!
