In Ireland, we officialy, drive on the left. But sometimes the road is too narrow so we drive in the middle.

Sometimes called locally, An Irish dual carriageway!
Wow you got 1000 ft of 65mm film? Jelly…
I’d recommend cutting it to length before slitting for that much film. 100 ft is manageable, barely, 1000 ft? Not so much.
The story I was told by an expat from the UK some years ago was that when travelling down a narrow lane, probably well forested, the custom was to travel on the left side, so as one would have their sword arm free. Which is pretty much what is stated above!
In Europe, it is difficult to get hold of 65mm film. Random short pieces are extremely rare, and their price is higher than that of fresh 120 films. I had found an online store in Germany that supposedly offered 400ft rolls with no minimum quantities. I ordered one, PAID. It turned out that the store was a side business of a production company. Some questions began about why I needed the film, how special it was... after a few weeks of absurdities - they simply refunded my money without explanation. That left only the 1000ft option. With all the stressful messages about stopping free sales, I decided to get a 250D. A little curious - I actually have another 1000ft, but 50D - I managed to get that one quite cheaply (50%) from a failed production of some advertisement. It is frozen at -20C in the bottom of a freezer.
Although the cans are relatively compact for 1000ft, it really does look quite inconvenient. That's why I haven't opened it yet. I wanted to free up a can of 100ft of 70mm film, which happened the other day. I'll wind 100ft and cut from there.
I think most countries that drive the left side of the road where England colonies at one time or another:

My LPL Dayroll has the crank on the left and the frame counter on the right
Spin it around 180 degrees... ;-)
Back on topic (lol)... curious if anyone's notice an actual restriction in the availability of respooled Vision 3 stocks? I'm still awaiting a response from a local stockist of 100ft bulk rolls, but it appears Reflx 800T et. al. is still easy as pie to find.
Every bulk loader I have ever used is a PITB for us left handed people.
I wonder if there are any made in the UK which have the crank on the left side?!
