    Which side?

     



    Whilst at Beach Hop we attended a drunken party where one fella was mouthing that Kiwi, Aussie, and Pom drivers usually drove, with their partners seated on the left hand side. Therefore the males also slept on the right hand side of the marital bed.

    The reverse was therefore true for American and Continental males.
    Because they drove from the left hand side of the car, they also slept on the left hand side of the bed.

    Was he right?
    Who usually drives; and what side of the bed does the driver sleep?

    (I've posted this on the Maverick NZ site as well. So Tom and sharpmark you don't need to answer on both!)

    Same here in the Great Southwest Desert. I was just thinking the same thing before I read Matthyj's post.

    Definistion please! Is the left or right side of the bed from the perspective of reclining in the horizontal plane or while viewing the bed from the foot board? Oh, or perhaps while viewing the bed from above the head board?

    Can you see the dilema?

    NO!!

    Drive Left side of vehicle (correct side), Sleep Right side as viewed from the bed (she's to my left, edge of the bed to my right).

    Oops.
    I'd forgotten about you.
    I'd better clarify for you.

    If you're lying on your back, on the bed, with your head at the headboard; is the cabinet with your teeth on it to your left or right?

    Neither. My teeth, the five I can take out, may be in my mouth, or in the jar on the bathroom counter, which is at the foot end direction of my bed, regardless of which side I am on.
