Turns out I'm capable of fluent mirror writing.  Furthermore, whatever I write with my right hand (going from left to right on the page), my left hand can simultaneously write in reverse (going from right to left, albeit with terrible handwriting on the left because I'm not ambidextrous).

For example, if writing Pie and Bovr(il) on a bit of paper, both my right and left hand would be finishing the 'r' at the same time, and it would look like a bit like this:

Are there other P&B freaks like this?  After somebody recently telling me that my mum and I are the only people she knows who can do it without the need to think about it (whilst expecting that there will be others out there somewhere), I'm trying to judge how common or rare this is.  A brief online search would suggest the latter.

In the olden days you'd have been burned at the stake for this

Today I learned that Otis Redding died in a plane crash at 26.


I'd have bet my fucking house I was listening to an old man signing any time I have ever heard him. Mind blown.

Where is that?

Thought my neighbour became Leatherface.

Turned out he made a good job of his trees.

I don’t want to say as this could turn into a fun guessing game. 

Pretty sure that the sign says Dunfermline on it

[Stellaboz]

Is that Wellwood?

That's what it reads like to me. 

"City and Ancient Burgh of Dunfermline...A [word obscured by a post] City"

Wonder what type of city it is...?

I didn’t notice the sign was in the pic - how did you know it was wellwood?

I know the rest of the in-roads into Dunfermline except this one.

All those roads are leading out of Dunfermline. 

Folk just go along them the wrong way. 

[die hard doonhamer]

I drove up that road on Friday, I’m disappointed I didn’t work it out sooner, tbh.

I'd aim for the white house, hope for a draw, if not you should still have a shot to the green.

Don't play left, that tree is trouble.

I was genuinely there just the other day. 

Bast*rd bus from the leisure park to the centre went on a grand tour of northern Dunfermline and Wellwood/Townhill.

On the subject of signs in Dunfermline, this one (ironically beside Dunfermline Town station) raised a smile to the point a photo was required.  No expense spared:

Also, why does Dunfermline love shoehorning in a Crieff reference everywhere.  Not quite as bad as signs for Kilmarnock in Edinburgh, but getting there.
