Hmmn, I *think* I generally turn right. I'm not a driver, of course, if that has anything to do with it (though I am a bike/trike road-user, so maybe not.) Mind you, it was always drummed into me from a very early age (visiting grandparents in the country) that as a pedestrian you should ALWAYS walk on the *right* side of an un-pavemented road, i.e. facing the oncoming traffic so you have plenty of time to see them and dodge out of the way, and it always irritates me when I see walkers failing to do that. I have no idea whether that might be a factor.

Anyway, it now seems I have an explanation as to why when visiting museums/displays etc I always seem to be reading the end of the story first, and have to stop and figure out where the first board is to start reading there...
