Left hand side, walking. and on stairs, Its when its a busy area, and you're walking up the right hand side and people are walking down the left. Its a nice even smooth flow, and then some fat gob****e walks down the left expecting you to move and blocking everything up.http://photos.igougo.com/images/p326977-London-Stand_on_the_Right.jpg

I'm now much more free than them, and happy that I reached my educational goals. I'll also be in a better position to buy a house when the property market reaches realistic prices from 2016 onwards. Saying the banks were 'throwing money at any breathing human being ' is classic popular revisionism.While the banks certainly are not blameless many folks misrepresented their incomes and took out loans to beat the band and also deep down had a fair idea that paying back the money might become a problem down the line, but hey, we can always blame Fianna fail !
