Keep Right

Keep right is the rule of the Underground and it was introduced in the Second World War to make sure that American servicemen used the escalators properly.

It works well with my good right hand always on a rail, except where for some reason , some of those coming out of a station say use a keep left-rule of their own making.

But thinking right meant that when I went down the escalator at Leicester Square, I chose the up escalator, possibly because it was on the right and aqlso because there was no-one on the way up.  But holding on to the handrail, I was able to turn easily and quickly, and walk the few paces off. 

So at least it was 9/10 for balance and agility, even if my eyes and brain perhaps scored a seven.
