I am going to put my mirror up for sale, all I see is the same old bloke looking at me,and when I try to touch him he does it first, I have tried turning my back but he does the same, i'm now eating my Iceland meal quickly before he gets at it.


Question - why does a mirror reflect my image right to left

but not top to bottom

------------------------------------------------

If you didn't have feet you wouldn't be asking this question.


The mirror doesn't reflect your image right to left. Whatever is

actually on your left still appears to be on your left when you look in

the mirror. The right-to-left business is all from the viewpoint of

some other person looking at you, and that person sees your left as

their right.

    • Saw the aftermath of another phone theft on east dulwich grove by trio last night. Then half an hour later spotted them biking back to 'work'. Crazy the police can't do anything about this - they are clearly cruising the same streets. 
    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private private, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own).
    • Good question. I think the benefit of some wild flowers is that they appear earlier in the spring and provide nectar for insects coming out of hibernation. Also, natives have evolved with the insects, some of which can only survive with certain native plants. For example, some species of  caterpillars need a specific native plant for their food. Having said that, I've seen lots of pollinators having a field day on some non native flowers. My bees love my verbena bonariensis for example.
