I can't remember East from West
Unless I picture a map of Britain in my head.
I also can't remember which way is clockwise, without picturing the face of a clock with the hands going round, speeded up.

I too have a weird East/West dyslexia
I don't quite picture a map of Britain but I always have to stop and think about it for a second before plumping for one of them

I have this too.
North and South are easy. East and West are not. I think as a kid, on the day they taught us that at primary school, I must have been ill or inattentive or something.

When I see a motorway sign that forces me to make an East/West decision, I have to visualise a map of the world, locate Japan/China, and from that I deduce which is which. Which is a right pain.

On the M6 you want junction 38 East for Japan.

Imagine how difficult it is if you are Japanese...
Russia is in the west, and the USA is in the east.

I have to say "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" and imagine going clockwise in a circle to work out which is which.

You have a system that works
