Title: Happy Left Handed Day.
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on August 13, 2014, 10:54:49 AM
It's Left Handed Day today, so best wishes to all my fellow left handed members.  I wonder how many members are left handed??
If you are or even if you have someone in the family or a friend who is left handed.  This is a great website to get left handed items.  I don't know how I would manage without my left handed knife or more importantly, my left handed corkscrew   ;) ;D

I am a leftie too Jacqui but I also use my right hand for a lot of things as well which I won't name!that was a joke...if I was playing tennis for example I would hold the racket in my right hand...they also say left handed people are more intelligent but that does not apply to me   :)

Me too Karen - left handed writing and right handed tennis, snooker, even painting/spraying. Bit odd.

I am left handed for everything.  So, a total lefty.  My son is left handed but plays golf right handed.  However, the benefit of him being left handed...and all lefties will know this.  I always get him to fold the sheets with me as he does it my way.

Apparently 15% of people are left handed, but 20% of members of Mensa are left handed, meaning you are correct  :)

Me too - my mother and only sibling are left handed and I remember my mother telling me that when she was at school in 1930 they used to tie the hand behind your back if you were left handed - was that true Scunner???

left handed, but when younger could not buy or afford the left handed items, so I had to struggle through with right hand, now I can use both but tend to use right for mouse.  I put this down to offices where desks were shared and little room to move.
As for left handed day, well I put it alongside those, cousin/daughter/son/grandparent etc days, money spinners. not interested,


Happy August 13th   ;)

Couldn't agree more Loz, use my right hand on the mouse as the pen or phone is in the left. Never heard of a left handed knife, a potato peeler or scissors, yes, but even then, I used the the old ones upside down. No problems. How about all those right handed friends who struggled with the fork in the left hand. Have to admit that I use a desert spoon in my left hand also.... How shameful!
