May 25May 25 Author I've also got a spirit level that is incorrect on the vertical at one end. The house is called "Crooked Lodge". For clarity, I am mainly right handed but with a reasonable degree of (made up work incoming!) ambidextriosity.

Does that not just hurt the ordinary person though. Look what happened when a relatively few people withdrew savings from Northern Rock.
