I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it Macca,

Basically what Pasanada said was correct and that's pretty much what you'll be taught at school etc......although there are occasional variations to the coriolis effect these are man-made and there are a multitude of ridiculously long mathematical equations to explain how this can be achieved, but you can't change the basic laws of Physics, and so again it should work as Pasanada explained.

If liquids are sometimes draining anti-clockwise in certain parts of Dubai my best guess would be some strange plumbing standards, but honestly there is nothing atall to worry about unless you happen to spend a lot of time studying sinks, toilets and baths draining (as if you are you're a very likely candidate for the window licking bus)

Hope this helps clear things up for you

Can't say that I have a fettish for loo's I close my eyes when I have need of sticking my head over one after too many sambucca shots. I even have an aversion to cleaning them got to be in the mood for house work and only when there isn't anything better to do which there always is
What about cyclones and hurricanes what is the theory called for that at least we might be getting away from the loos and drains if we change subject. And willy willies do they happen over hear and work in reverse, please enlighten me professor, LOL

although I had just dropped off the browns at the superbowl and the stadium was full, so that might have impeded the water flow from exiting the way of normality. kapeesh?
