Just seeing if you were paying attention at the back there...What? The blue egg is on the left.
Anyway I am dyslexic and right is on the left, left is in the middle and the middle is at the front!
Seriously after turning right on my L plate test (and something similar on my first police advanced level driving test), I was asked to stop. I had to explain I was dyslexic and went through life with my side, your side or passenger side drivers side and when I am giving directions, you always go with what my hand is doing, not what I am telling you. After that we moved over to hand signals and passenger side, drivers side... and there were no more problems. I just can't tell left from right, right from left, I muddle numbers left, right and center and when I start mixing more than 3 words in a sentence when speaking, it is time to stop me from driving anymore that day and sit me down doing nothing. I frequently switch 2 words in a sentence, so having the vase in the flowers rather than the flowers in the vase is pretty normal here. It is when I have said something like this "Tomorrow I went to the shops to see if I could get those dried meal for tonight's evening limes" that problems are afoot big time. Even I have to stop and work out what I have said. I usually finish with "or any variation of those words that makes more sense..."
