If, like me, you're left handed or your child is this site can be very useful. It sells left handed items and offers humour and advice!

and this is a link to the Left Handers Club:

A good site to remember, thanks. A couple of friends are left handed, as is ds, but I have never thought about such things as a left handed pencil sharpener, before ...

never really thought about left handed pencil sharpeners either, watched DS struggle with them but it never clicked it might be because he was a leftie, just assumed it was his terrible co-ordination due to being Dyspraxic AND left handed, poor kid.

i'm left handed,. i struggled with potato peelers (given up now and just use a knife)....but the one thing i wish could have been made (in my younger days when i used to have time to play)...was the 'joystick' (can't even remeber the name lol)...for the play station...esp when it was a fast clicking game...i could never fast click with my right hand and had to use the control upside down..and then use the arrow buttons the wrong way round..
that probably made no sense lol..i know what i mean though :cheesy:..
if anyone can make one me!!...just change the buttons around!..

I HATE potato peelers - have taken chunks out of my hands with my mums one. I actively avoid them, will cook spuds in their skins to get round peeling them.
One thing that got me in school was ringbinders, either you had to take out the pad to write with or you couldn't write to the end of the page, very frustrating. As well as having to change seats with people unless you sat at the left hand side of the desk because you were always bumping elbows if you tried to write.:ac39:
I actually can't use left handed scissors though - I got so used to using right handed ones that lefty ones feel odd.
We once found a left handed shop in Ironbridge and I was amazed! I really thought it was me being awkward!

my sister loves the scissors, in fact I think she's still using the same pair that she had when she was a kid

I just spotted that today - will have to ask my bank about it next time I'm ordering a cheque book. I wonder what they look like!
