I was told it was Port out Starboard home, in the old British Empire days, the toffs could afford to pay for a Port cabin (the left side) on the journey to India and Starboard (the right side) on the return trip. To do with the Sun, being in it or in the shade, (not sure which), you can tell I'm very well up on ships. I also know that "fore "is the pointy end, and "aft" is the blunt end.

As for the brass monkeys I knew that one. It was very cold last week, and I saw a brass monkey looking for a welder.:lol:

Why we in the UK drive on the left hand side of the road, I could be wrong but I like this notion. as in the middle ages mainly noblemen/knights etc carried swords, as between 8 to15% of the population are left handed. It made sense to ride your horse on the left side of anyone coming in the opposite direction.

As most people are right handed, we being on the left side of the track/path, could draw our swords and cut up, or put the fear of god into any oncoming scoundrels/ salesmen, ex-wives, tax collectors etc, I might be wrong but iI like the idea.

Just one more I heard, a military salute comes from the days when a knight would raise the visor of his helmet, to show his face, signifying respect to a fellow knight. This could be a figment of my imagination.
