Bev is so very right!
Two hours driving on an open motorway will take you about 140 miles and more if
you exceed the speed limit. Two hours driving on the congested roads might
only get you 50-60 miles on a good day, 15 miles on a bad day, and on a very
bad day you could be sitting in a

I think you are right, that the only time a right and wrong side occurs in
straight laces is if there are tallies lying on top of a cloth stitch or half
