Rumors of Lane Changes in the UK

Sorry, to dwell on this topic, but I vaguely heard a rumor that
the UK was thinking of changing the side of the road that it
dives on. Any truth to that?

I believe Swede has already done it. As I remember at 12 noon
one day the police went out to every intersection and stopped
traffic, and directed them to the opposite lane. Seems like
a daunting task.

So, to anyone in the UK, have you heard these rumors, and is
there any truth to them?

I think perhaps one of the reasons might be to standardize
automobiles around the world. How many other countries still
drive on the 'wrong' side of the road? 

Just curious.
