RE: Left-handed VEs

[Colin Larkin]

"when travelling through the Orient and Sub-Continent special care should always be taken to never eat with your left hand. Even though you may not be especially taken with the methodology of their oblutions, eating in public with your left hand will make you the laughing stock of any gala event held in honour of the Raj or His Majesty.."

Interesting. I was allowed to learn VE left handed, and I've always done
them that way. But I still palpate from the right, and I get confused if I
don't. I don't care which side I'm on during birth
