Left; right' east; west. Sorry, I'm a bit 'challenged' when it comes to directions. You know the type? I have to drop bread crumbs to get out of a telephone booth. Hell, I still have problems with 'up' and 'down'.
>>stems back to the ancient Romans. They drove their chariots on the left in order to have their right sword arm free to meet enemies. In the U.S., however, horse drawn wagons were built with the brake on the left, forcing drivers to sit on that side, and therefor to drive on the right to get a better view of the road.
