[alfa] Nearside / Offside

[Keith Walker <100662.3423@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>>The most puzzling British useage is nearside and offside, cars that is
not
football, which I assume means driver's side and passenger side
respectively (or is it vice versa?), but the logic of this useage escapes
me. Logic cannot determine which should be correct.<<

Near side is nearest the curb, off side is the side away from the curb

All the best

Keith
