No, not a joke. I'm tired of reading the markings on my metal
tape measure upside down. Anyone sell ones the other way up?

(I'm right handed, but do some things left handed; shoot, play
snooker and hold a tape measure...)


Anything Left Handed does one (I don't know if this link will
work, but you can get there by typing "tape measure" in the
product search box on the front page of the site.)

Having seen that I now realise I use a tape measure left handed,
and mark with pencil in the right hand, never consciously noticed
the numbers being upside down.

I found one site which, for that reason, touts these ones as "right-
handed" tape measures -- making the point that the "normal" ones are
left-handed.
