Irrelevant appendix:
The crucial question is, which side did they pass on? ie were they driving
on the right, or the left? Because we Brits drive on the 'wrong' side of
the road, and practically everybody else doesn't.
But 1 which side do you joust on?
2 Which side do French, Swiss, Belgian trains drive on?
