To paraphrase the old story about la rive gauche, that depends entirely upon which way one is facing.......
Funny ideas you people on the left shore of The Pond seem to get . . .

I have seen it used both ways in American newspapers, as lack of luck or luck held, it could be we have a lot of downunder influence. I was confused with the same issue because of the differences especially with the recent Hurricanes and reading it with both meanings being used.

Oops. Sorry, but I think I was confusing you with our own Left Coast. Hope that wasn't an insult!
Of course I know the standard is to determine direction whilst facing downstream, just as red buoys are on the starboard side when returning upstream ("Red Right Return" or "BPOE/Best People On Earth/Black Port On Entering").
Next time I'll have to remember to say, "T'other side of the Pond."

As I introduced myself at a meeting yesterday: "Jack of several trades, master of . . . well . . . ." and let it drop there.
