Rusty; what do the vehicle drivers think of all this? I'd be scared
s-h-i-tless!

No, no... The British, like Australians, drive on the _left_ side of the
road - Americans drive on the wrong side.

....Meaning ~above~ the ground.

Not counting Buccaneer pihots, anyway...

Irrespective of whether the left side is the right side or the right side is
the wrong side...

That white van looks to be further over to the left than is normally the
case, even allowing for national idiosyncrysies and the fact that it's a
white van.

Having once been surprised whilst driving over a hill in Scotlan by the
sight of a Vulcan passing by *below* me, I understand how he feels!

We drive on the left so our right arm is free for the sword, should an
enemy approach.

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.
The engineer fumed, "What's with those blokes? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"
The priest said, "Here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him."
He said, "Hello, George! what's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group fell silent for a moment.
The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"
