Last weekend I helped a friend and his wife moved from Bedford to
Penzance. As I was the only one with any knowledge of 'wiring things
up' I set about installing the Hi-Fi system. Anyway, found out that
they forgot to bring the speakers with them (the house they left is
still there's, so they will go back to get them sometime) so I layed
the cables out for the speakers and told his wife not to get the
cables mixed up. "Why?", she said. And I told her that ones is for
the left speaker and one for the right. "I didn't know there was a
difference", she replied. Now, I know I shouldn't worry about these
sort of things, but I really couldn't believe that people don't know
that left & right should be the right way round. Perhaps I'm being
pedantic and it doesn't really matter, but now I'm sitting at home
thinking about them listening to their Michael Buble CD with the
stereo in reverse.

And I shan't even go there with their idea of putting 'shelf' speakers
on the floor!
