Spotted this on Sky News website and thought I would poll it.

Me, I am a leftie, as is one of my sons. My mum, dad and brother are all lefties hey! the cool thumbs up smiley is also left-handed

Whooops, meant to post it in the Maple Leaf (well it is early morning) - Mods can you copy it or move it, thanks

My OH and I are both Left handed but I don't think we are what you'd call high achievers Both our kids are right handed but I'm trying my best to beat it out of them

I am a female leftie. According to the article most left handers are male.

***sigh***

As with most areas of my life, I go against the norm

I fly left handed as well

Chose ambidextrous cos I actually write right handed, but do everything else left handed

Lefties die younger!

REPENT!

That's not really ambidextrous then is it?

from Wiki:

Although ambidexterity is rare, ambidextrous people may still gravitate towards performing certain types of tasks with a specific hand. The degree of versatility with each hand is generally the qualitative factor in determining a person's ambidexterity.

Oooh, maybe I am too then because I use scissors with my right hand (no leftie scissors back in my schooldays).

One thing not so good about left-hand writing is, unless you write up and over, we all smudge our print and get blackened hands

exactly and believe me my writing is bad enough already without needing to be smudged as well

Born left-handed but forced to write with right-hand as a child and can't change now.

Strangely enough I can do mirror writing with my left hand.

El Richo, first prize of 4 pencils may be winging it's way over to you

Clever Madmac

I haven't tried mirror writing (now scurries off for a pencil and paper) but I nearly came to a sad demise when I tried to trim my fringe whilst looking in the mirror
