: Right - can of beans open - which side of the road would Aragorn ride on? : Roz February 15, 2005, 03:48:37 PM I say left like the UK folk, (and this is the reason we drive on the left) because if the person coming towards you if to your right and forwards you are in the perfect position to draw your sword against them... this if of course only applicable if you are right handed... but since that's 90% of us ... well... in this case the majority rules.
Napoleon was left handed, And of course hated the British. So it was he who changed it to driving/riding/carriages etc on the right... so I argue... Aragorn would drive on the left ... even though it's the fouth age and there is momentary peace... ;D : Re:Right - can of beans open - which side of the road would Aragorn ride on? : ferdinand_the_yak February 15, 2005, 04:05:24 PM Left of course - just in case he wanted to visit Australia :D

: Re:Right - can of beans open - which side of the road would Aragorn ride on? : Roz February 15, 2005, 08:47:32 PM :D I guess when the Americans were deciding which side of the road to drive on they wanted to be Anti-British too... or maybe it was a ploy to confuse us when we visit.... and we invented the roundabout to do the same to you ;)
Hee hee - well... I have no idea on that one - but I daresay someone here might know :) : Re:Right - can of beans open - which side of the road would Aragorn ride on? : Angels February 16, 2005, 01:34:38 AM On the left but if the M1 tonight was anything to go on it would be anywhere he liked and ignore the white lane lines completely. >:(
