When I brought my Getz three years ago the first thing I noticed was that the controls behind the steering wheel were reversed, the indicators were on the left, for about six month I found myself occasionally trying to indicate with the wiper control. Now I've got the Suzuki I'm back to a more conventional layout with the indicators on the right, yesterday whilst out and about I found that a couple of times I was trying to indicate with the wiper control.

I went into IKEA once, running an errand for work. I haven't been in since.

Which one? We may be heading to Milton Keynes later...

Christ on a bike! Don't, just don't.

Croydon. Got to order the kitchen.

You poor bastards

Train and a tram and some meatballs. I'm easily swayed.

Train and a tram and some meatballs. I'm easily swayed.

The meatballs are what tempt me to go there. Having said that, when we were buying the kitchen we went a few times and I learnt the short cuts which make the visits far easier.

Indicators on the left is a European thing. Indicators on the right is an older British or Japanese thing. When I worked on the Toyota Avensis line, cars we built for Japan had indicators on the right, but UK cars had them on the right.

Fret not, post Brexit we can free ourselves from such restrictive convention, and revert to semaphore arms.

I remember them, my aunts A35 had those

Trying to download the ITV Hub on my tablet, on the tablet the download failed with the error code 495, but it installed on my phone.
