Re: Left Handed People
Im a leftie...Playing sports at school I had the advantage in some games as playing against a left hander can be challenging.
At primary school there used to be an older girl there who would always set the cutlery out at lunchtimes and she would force me to eat lefthanded whereas I only eat right handedly...she would watch me eat and if I changed my cutlery over she would then come and change it back to what she wanted.
I find scissors are a pain but I sometimes buy lefthanded items if I need to..

Re: Left Handed People
I was born a leftie, but school made me write etc. as a right handed would, so I am now ambidextrous, and have the best of both Worlds, if one hand becomes painful I just swap, also when younger in sports like Squash or Tennis, I could change hands as and when the direction of the ball dictated

I can play golf either way, but I'm rubbish at it whichever. I felt really uncomfortable driving on the continent (left hand drive) trying to change gear with my right arm just doesn't work well.
Interesting Realist I didn't know that.
Sorry to hear you were made to write right handed Ragdog, although you do seem to have come away better off.

I eat with the knife & fork in the correct hands, but dessert is eaten with the spoon in my left hand, never got the knack of using spoon & fork the right way. Most things I do left handed. Scissors are a pain to use but I think that's the only problem I have with being left handed.
Never learnt to knit as none of my family were lefties, though Gran did try to teach me.
I taught my Brother to play, cricket, tennis etc left handed, no one realized that mistake, he is right handed so when he had to play games or sport at school he had to be taught all over again.
Wonder if that's where we got the right way from, being right handed because that was the right way to do it. Never thought of that before.
