I've been to Bermuda, but I don't remember that they had them there (it was a *long* time ago). And I've never been to England. That term got stuck in my head when I found out what they were talking about in that Yes song. -- NK

I've driven sports cars my whole life, and shifting left-handed is a curiously dangerous adventure at first! Also, adjusting the whole "look left, right, left" when crossing lanes or an intersection gets a bit of getting used to (THEY'RE COMING AT YOU FROM THE RIGHT, MARIO!!!!). :-) mario in victoria -- day-dreaming gets you into trouble in right-hand drive countries |
