My four year old granddaughter uses her left hand and writes backwards! We're hoping she will grow out of it ;)

I think ive heard of children doing that before, does she only write backwards? I used to have a friend at school (yes I can remember that far back!) that only used to write the letter "S" backwards, all other letters were written normally.

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

Her writing is, so far, rather limited to her own name and her sister's!! She writes in both directions but predominantly right to left. She hasn't mastered grimace yet though :) I used to get my b's and d's arse about face!!

It was, I got my fingers rapped with a wooden ruler at school. That was in the days when they dealt with unruly pupils properly ;)

May I refer Your Honour to the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullard

I submit that the Mullard to which you refer is somewhat different to the dim-witted oaf "Arfur Mullard" - Actor, Raconteur, and general cockney eejit to whom I was referring. Mind you, he was a bloody good actor!
