Kate winning was a great day for left handers 
BTW does anyone know when the practice of forcing left handed children to use their right hands at school was stopped. Does it still happen in this country 
Could we get Kate to promote Left Handed awareness because I have encountered evidence where parents thought it was something that had to be "fixed"

I also am left handed, I have to do certain things like use scissors with my right hand because I've never had a left handed pair of scissors. The world is predominately biased against left handed people, how often do you see a left handed knife? the serrated edge is on the wrong side for us. Here are a few things that I've never seen adapted for left handed people:-
Knives (see above)
Pans - the pouring lip is on the wrong side
Potato peelers - I couldn't use one till I was 16!
Scissors - (see above)
The list is endless!!!!!!!
In fact, I had to leave my old job because they insisted I use a right handed machine and could only type with my right hand. I was told left handed machines weren't a priority!
And that was only last year!!!!!!!!!
