Sorry if I've offended people by using the term "wrong side of the road" - a term I hear people use regularly when talking about driving on the side of the road that is the opposite from the one they are used to driving on. It never occurred to me that anyone could take offence at such a commonly-used expression.

If you're used to driving on the right then the left is the wrong side for you, and vice versa. And after flying overnight, and being kicked out of my seat at 3 or 4 am body time, I would not wish to drive on the other side. (In fact I wouldn't even want to drive any distance on "my" side of the road... I've driven home from NWI after an overnight flight, I would not drive home from LHR)
