LEFT-HANDERS are often thought of as awkward. Hardly surprising when most equipment is made for right-handers.

However, life could be made so much easier when Anything Left-Handed comes to the Bluewater shopping centre near Greenhithe. The firm will be at the shopping centre until April 7 with their spring range.

The specially-designed products will make everyday tasks and hobbies more comfortable and effortless for left-handers. After 30 years, Anything Left-Handed left its Soho base and set up a mail order and Internet business. It is now the largest supplier of left-handed products in Europe.

Lauren Milson, company director, said: "Many left-handers need to try out the products to realise how much they will benefit from them, so we are visiting Bluewater to give people that opportunity.

"Many of our most loyal customers thought they had adapted quite well to right-hand versions until they came to us. Only through using a well designed left-handed implement can you appreciate how much easier and more comfortable it is to use."

Products include scissors, fountain pens, kitchen utensils, arts and craft tools, secateurs and even an anti-clockwise pepper mill.
