People on opposite sides of the Atlantic or the Channel drive on opposite sides of the road. The result is that houses on alternate sides of the street have bathtubs that drain in opposite directions, causing left-handed moss to grow on the right side of odd-numbered lots. Alternate bathtub parking may be in effect in some areas -- check local listings for syndicated broadcast times. Please note also that the downbeat of a waltz played in Vienna will be the corresponding upbeat in London and a rest situated a full eight measures later in New York (eight measures being the minimum excerpt eligible for ASCAP royalties, 1 U.S. royalty measure being equivalent to 2.8 metric royalties or 16 liquid songwriter assets).
