Most of the stills I've seen have got the product outlet on the right hand side... This one is on the left.

It was built on the other side of the ditch, though, maybe I've gotta look at it in a mirror!

It does look different when the output is on the left ,i think that most of the stills we see dress to the right , and i guess most of these people to be right handed, there are a few that dress to the left are they left handed ?

Oh i am a lefty and dress to the right :teasing-tease:

Pardon?

Never loosen the camp.....
If you swing IT where ever you like, you might take someone's eye out.
