Its called coriolis force.....and it DOES have opposing effects in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Hurricanes in the northern hemisphere (a-clkwse) travel in the opposing direction to hurricanes in the southern (clkwse).

Water in your sink will too, or prefereably your bath, as the force has an effect which is directly linked to the volume of water you are trying to observe it in.

It would depend on which sink I use, how I take the plug out, etc. The earth's spin has a much smaller effect on the water than the details of the sink, etc. I remember doing all this sort of thing many aeons ago. Even though I may make more trips to the bathroom these days than then, pete, I won't bother for this one if you don't mind. I found a web page on this very thing a while ago.

Have a look at this:

This is a very good place for all sorts of myhts and legends. Did you know, for example, that Margaret Thatcher was a woman?
