They say that red is forward, away from you, and blue is towards you. I 
don't see it that way, I see it left-blue, thus reversed. The plumber, 
who is supposed to be an expert witness, saw blue-left. Three people 
more (one was me), the same.

In fact, these fixtures can be rotated in the sink hole before 
tightening the nut beneath, so that the handle faces right, front or 
left. In fact, once I tried all three positions to find out which was 
the most confortable in use. Front is uncomfortable, you risk wetting 
your arm. Left is good for left handed people. But in all cases I see 
the red dot on the right.

Maybe psychologists will explain that there are two types of people 
depending on how we read those dots in kitchen taps. :-)
