Bimbo didn't know
1 - which part of the body would be "bandy" (ears, arms, legs, eyes)
2 - which vehicle would take part in a "demolition derby" (car, bicycle, tank, quad-bike)
3 - which country drives on the left (France, Australia)

God help us all.

1. I never came across the term bandy. You lot say it's another term for legs, can anyone explain where it comes from?

2. Bicycle demolition derby? I am pretty sure they try that in central london.

3. Remember, we drive on the CORRECT side and everyone else on the RIGHT side. Incidentally since we are talking mnemonics, if you are dealing with screws & bolts in this country remember righty tighty lefty loosey.

To be bandy-legged is another term for having bent legs as caused by rickets or something
