Just had a glass of this . . .

That's right. Chile is in the southern hemisphere, mate. Coriolis effect.. think about it.

Had to google that (still none the wiser )

But the Coriolis effect can be offset by pedalling backwards. There's no need to put the cranks on the wrong side ( although it helps to put the chainrings on upside down)

Think about spin on a cricket ball . (It's not the same thing at all but near enough an idea to not be a useless comparison).

Or try walking in a straight line on a merry-go-round. It'll feel like you're being shoved to one side. You may already feel like this Dayvo because of all that wine you is drinking.

You mean Shane Warne would have been an off spinner in the northern hemisphere? Tell that to MIke Gatting

Am I warm(er)?

Ah, but in that case Mike Gatting should have been a left hander!

 

[Aperitif]

Have another and stop philosophising, you old git!

Not at all, Bollo!

Too much ballast on board!
