Ah yes - but that's not being a dyslexic - its a result of having 2 X
chromosomes

You are on *very* shaky ground here Andyw. I might just mis direct
something your way :-}

lol well I do know right from left, but apart from that I have *no*
sense of direction.

My Dad had absolutely _no_ sense of direction - he was a brilliant
scientist, but practical things eluded him.

My mother had a retrospective sense of direction, along the lines of
"you need to turn right half a mile back up the road". Then it would
be "you needed to turn right when you were going the other way; you
should have turned left back there."

My Dad navigated by public loos, pubs and cafes. At the age of 10 I could
have got myself from Romford to the New Forest with no trouble following his
waymarks!

He was also dyslexic.
