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,

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.

'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.

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 🙂
