I agree Gadget,  it does look more natural that way and I'm sure that's the way the photographer would have posed her.  :D

Well, yes you would have been in a quandary yesterday but um, have to say I was relieved by the result myself (Hull is No. 2 club for me but don't tell anyone!  ;D ;D ;D ;D )

Well all you "sinister" lot (Latin for left = sinister!) there is another explanation....

I am right handed and wear my watch on my right wrist, as do many other musicians...It's easier to see how long the gig has left when playing an instrument!! Oh and how long before the beer!! (No beer, no blow!)
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

 I'm also right handed and wear my watch on the right wrist, found it a bit 'not quite right' to wear it on the left wrist. :D :D

Well I think we've dispelled the watch theory as a means of determining photo orientation!

I was thinking of you this morning Terry, actually I'm reminded of you everyday as I pass Hastie St on my way to taking my daughter to school.  I should "borrow" the sign and post it to you!  ;D ;D :-X :-X :-X

I'm still puzzled by those stockings.

I've been Googling and can't yet find anything about stripped/patterned stockings at all. Most of the bits have about 2 paragraphs which give accounts of stockings since Eve to the 1920s and then jump to the invention of nylons  ::)
