Sorry - I was referring to the light switch analogy - we British or English all know that proper light switches are down for on - I am surprised that the rest of the world doesn’t know this???? While we are on the subject it would make it much simpler to explain the cast on the gun if the rest of the world drove on the left - excellent reason for them to conform???
