    A frightening number of cyclists, too, think there's a 'pass to
    starboard' rule on cyclepaths.

    Dunno about actual applicable rules but sticking to convention takes
    the guesswork out of it.

    In which case, pass to port; ie, pass to the left of the 'passee'; ie, ride
    on the left.

    Now, pass the port.

    This is getting rather silly.
    I think we're all arguing the same point.
    Peter B: Today is Thursday.
    Simon Brooke: Today is Thursday too.
    Peter B: Then let's stick to convention and call today Thursday.
    Simonb: In which case call today Thursday.

    Are we mad or what? :-)

    'Starboard' is 'right'. So what we actually said was:

    Me: Too many people think it's Sunday.
    You: Well then, let's just all agree to call it Sunday.
    Simonb (who is someone completely different): It's actually Thursday.

    And you know what? He's right.

    Perhaps it's something to do with the confusingly similar names y'all
    have! Peter B, Simon Brooke, Simonb etc. Similar names think alike,
    etc 🙂

    Among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of
    the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and
    credulity encourages.
