Anyone left-handed?

I get a monthly newletter from Anything Left-Handed, which is an excellent company that sells left-handed stuff and gives advice on left-handedness etc.

They just sent a newsletter out explaining that they're in trouble financially (they've never made a profit, but do it because they are both left-handed and wanted to supply left-handed stuff to other people)

i've bought loads of things off them in the past and they are excellent.

I found the left-handed carvinf knife to be a brilliant knife (you don't realise that it's not your fault your doorstep slices of bread are thicker at the bottom or completely skew-whiff until you've tried it!)
and i use a left-handed pencil sharpener, and all other sorts of things - my favourites are my left-handed 12" rule and left-handed tape measure.

anyway, just wanted to give them a quick plug, in case it was something you thought about.

their website is:
anything left-handed
and there's http://www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/product_info.html a product info page too

It's too late for me. after a life time of using right handed stuff every time someone gets me a left handed thing I just can't use it, even the bane of my life the can opener, I worked out how to use them in such a strange manner I can never use them the correct way round left or right handed.

:(

But I'll have a look anyway and may give something a try Grin

the knife is the best one, it really is!
you won't even notice you're usinga left-handed implement, but the way it cuts the bread! Grin

(i have been known to wield a right-handed chain saw in one hand because the cut-off knob is on the wrong side, and if you're left handed, you can just swing it around, as you can press the button and hold the handle in the same hand.
(which you're not supposed to...)
