Left hand thread on the left, or on the right?

I find the best way of remembering which way round the threads are is that if the bearings in the pedal sieze then it will unscrew. Same goes for the BB threads, if the BB siezes you will unscrew both sides rather than pull the threads out of the frame.
To be fair, "left is left, right is right" is a bit easier to remember!pdV6 said:
