(So saving plants in a garden that straddles the equator from getting totally befuddled.) A runner bean in the southern hemisphere grows anti-clockwise around a bean pole when looking from above. In the northern hemisphere it grows clockwise. On the equator they do indeed get confused and dont know which way to turn :) |

"Misalliance," I think they called it. My version's on vinyl somewhere. Or are the late 50s too recent for your 20s tastes? |

I thought the same thing, lyrics here (www.members.optusnet.com.au), those Guys sang about pretty much anything, which is quite a skill |

Thanks for that website, Nigel. Lots of great F & S lyrics there. Naturally several - from student days - are already known by heart. (Dare I mention "Have some Madeira, My Dear"?) |

I thought you were having us on for a moment Terry so off a-Googling I went. Might have known you weren't pulling our legs. :) in the southern hemisphere the sun goes round from east to west via the north side of the sky, as opposed to the south in the northern, and this is why people always get their sense of direction mixed up when they swap hemispheres. But not a lot of people know that runner beans grow round poles in a different direction in each of the hemispheres, because they follow the light round the poles. Just one example, taken from this page (www.moxon.net). Incidentally, that whole page might be a rather interesting and amusing read to yourself. :) |
