    Can't you take The Boy Wonder to piano lessons? Then I can wait for him to grow up!

    I'm a lefty too, although I'm flexible. I write with my left hand but use scissors in my right. I play tennis and rounders left handed, but golf and cricket right-handed. I play the guitar right handed and use a knife and fork right handed - but eating with a fork or spoon only, I use my left.

    Purely as a matter of interest - Andy, do you suffer with dyslexia?

    Mrs Bat uses her hands in a similar way ... she's not dyslexic either.

    I hope you didn't mind me asking - a lot of people with varying degrees of dyslexia are ambidextrous.

    I'm dyslexic - but unfortunately bloody useless with both hands.



    I can't tell my right from my left anyway unless I'm holding a pen!

    Do you use scissors with your right hand because they are right-handed scissors?

    You can get left-handed scissors, corkscrews and many other things.



    To play golf left-handed you'd need different clubs but cricket can be played either way with the same bat

    Actually, there are left-handed bats. The bottom edge of the blade is not symmetrical - it is more rounded on the offside of the blade.



    Admittedly, the difference isn't quite so obvious as in golf clubs!



    Despite being totally left-handed, I could never get away with left-handed scissors. I put that down to be so used to compensating for using right-handed scissors when I was young.

    Steve - I grew up using right-handed scissors in my right hand., and I suppose it's just stuck. It feels perfectly natural to me and the thought of using them in my left hand makes me cringe!

    When I first picked up a guitar, it felt natural to play it 'the right way' around.

    I can do good 'mirror-writing' with my right hand whilst writing with my left - this seems to amaze some people, but I thought everyone could do it!



    Aren't we a funny lot....

    I use my left hand - to scratch the back of my right hand or my right elbow when they itch



    Left handed children used to be forced to use their right hand. Either just because of the lack of left handed equipment or because people thought it was sinister (literally: on the left)





    Left-handers have enough problems in a mainly right-handed world without being forced to use their non-dominant hand
