Geoff (now):
The nearside lanes. In other words, in the UK, the left hand lane of a 
three lane road or dual carriageway; the right hand side in countries

Though I fail to see how that question arises from my post.....

Geoff (now):
But doublets exist. They were a close-fitting jacket worn by men between
the 15th and 17th centuries. You have possibly heard of 'doublet and hose'?
