I love these!!
Keep making these cartoons, I demand it! They are wonderful!
That being said...so in England are the light switches backwards from American ones? 'Cause when I turn on my light, I flick the switch UP, not down. I'm just asking because I am genuinly interested. You know, like how the toilets go the opposite way in Australia.

I think it's more to do with the way lights are wired.
I know that in my place there are lights that are wired to two switches, so you can turn it on, walk down the stairs, and turn it off at the bottom.
I know what you mean about those Aussie toilets though. I got a terrible fright!
I had diarrhoea so it wasn't too bad. Imagine the PAIN of a big hard poo shooting back up inside you...
They need to sort that and the spiders/snakes thing before I think about emigrating.

Yes. The UK has lightswitches that turn on when you flick them down.
North America goes for the 'Light switch on when you flick it up' method.
I've always rationalised that the UK way was better because when you're stumbling around the house in the dark (probably drunk), you're more likely to flail the lights on if they have to go down.
