Everyone to the left

Being a southpaw, I often wonder why it's so hard to find left handed items. My friends will not let me massacre another bottle of wine with my difficulties trying to get the cork out! It was only recently that I got a left handed serrated knife. Let me tell you, I have never before been able to cut a slice of bread so straight until now. The left handed soup ladle has saved me from making such a complete mess of my self, the floor and the stove when dealing with soup. It's always a surprise to me that such simple items bring such joy!

The puzzle I have is why there is not more places that cater to us leftys (where's a Leftorium when you need one?). I've had great luck with a store in London, http://www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/acatalog/. In fact, if you search for left handed items, the stores that come up all seem to be in Europe. I wonder why this is.
