@Olamide I take this PERSONALLY πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@bethany @Olamide @Berrybunchfamily but an honest question, why are you driving on the wrong side of the road? I wouldn't stand everybody driving on the wrong side if I would visit England and drive on the right side.

@tanjaostman @Olamide well see now "wrong" is very subjective .. my question is why is everyone else driving on the wrong side of the road when we're over here driving on the correct side of the road? πŸ€”

@bethany @Olamide Ok, I surrender! Do as you want! Don't want to become your enemy because you do things differently over there... πŸ˜‚

@tanjaostman @Olamide I'm sorry πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ the Brit in me refuses to accept that we're wrong and it's actually just everyone else who is the problem... but you're actually right. It would be much easier if we joined most of the world on the right side of the road but here we are

@bethany @tanjaostman @Olamide in 1967, Sweden did what our backward friends in Britain should have done years ago and switched over from Left to Right side to get in line with the rest of the world. Sweden read the writing on the wall and changed over, hiring 150,000 traffic assistants to help remind people which side of the road to drive on. It was called "H" day to stand for "hΓΆger" which means "Right" in Swedish. This was a big deal because Sweden's big car makers - Volvo and Saab also had to change.
Not easy, but worth it.

@sinbach @bethany @Olamide thanks for the old film clip! It would be interesting to know if there was a temporary rise in traffic accidents. I remember when they changed our currency from mark to euro. 1 euro was about 6 marks. I felt like a child, because the new numbers told me nothing. For a couple of years I had to count. And learned the 6 times table... very well. πŸ˜‚
