Statistically, and this is a fact, left-handed people don't live as long as right handed people.  Its even recognised in the insurance industry!

I am left handed, I can use both hands to mop and blade.
I find it no different to the right handed guys.

I'm a lefty, but one of the first things I was taught in window cleaning is that you've got to be able to do it with either hand.  Otherwise you have to climb the ladder twice as many times.

right handed with a pen and so on but left and right handed for trad - was a bit slower with my left to start with but not anymore.

found it a pain up a ladder for trad if only using the one hand!

  I am truely ambidextrous - play me at swingball at your peril, never on back hand you see.

  My father and his mother are/were both also ambidextrous, although my brother is left handed only -  he got the photographic memory so I think he came out tops!!

I'm a lefty, though like all lefties I can do more with my 'wrong' hand then right handed people can with theirs, we have to be more adaptable cos the whole world is the wrong way round, it's not us...
I've heard the above is true. It's because everything is made for right handed people so a higher number of lefties die in industrial accidents etc.

It's nothing to do with being clumsy...honest  ;D

Though I've never been asked when applying for insurance so it can't be that bad...
