"James Wilkinson Sword" wrote in message news ![]() Why do people give the direction "left hand down"? It doesn't bloody matter if you're driving forwards or backwards, turning the wheel left still makes the car go left! Never in my life have I heard anyone say "left hand down". And if someone did say "left hand down" I would have no clue what they wanted me to do. My question is where do you want my left hand to go down to? Yes, it would be helpful if he'd give us a clue what he's ranting about. |

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: Yes, it would be helpful if he'd give us a clue what he's ranting about. It's in the text above: "driving forwards or backwards, turning the wheel left" I'm surprised that there are still people around who give a **** about your silly trolls, ******! -- More from Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange world: "Someone (a Scotsman) once told me he doesn't bother wiping his arse if he's about to have a shower anyway."

It must be something peculiar to your country as at least two of us have no clue what you are talking about. |

It must be something peculiar to your country as at least two of us have no clue what you are talking about. For example, I'm reversing out of a local garage, and space is tight. A mechanic decides to give me directions. Instead of just telling me to turn left, he says "left hand down", because he thinks that when reversing somehow things are different? Turning the wheel left still makes the car go left! Must be a dumb Brit thing, Birdbrain. It certainly is another troll by you, ******! -- More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange world: "If the human is inferior to the dog, we don't care for the dead human." MID: |

It's got to be some stupid British terminology only they understand. It's must be some sort of Limey Lingo stupidity only the troll knows of and then gets bent out of shape because he's not getting an answer to this nonsense. But what can you expect from people that drive on the wrong side of the road? Wrong answers from mechanics, that's what. |
