Since the prime meridian runs slightly to the west of Cambridge, it turns out that we're in the Eastern hemisphere. You'll have to talk to our western friends in Bedford about which way round their stereos go .



Well, I'm in Oxford in the Western hemisphere, and it seems to work pretty well here. I have once ventured East since getting the Empeg and it seemed to work OK there too :-)

I wouldn't say that the Empeg is Eurocentric. I believe that it is only the UK that have this figured out - the rest of Europe all seem to drive on the wrong side of the road too...
