Thank yoy Mrlugsy.

Strewth, sir. That answer is way too intelligent!
I would give you five bonus points but i know your modesty would fluster at such an intrusion.
The building i have in mind is still standing.

Wahey. Go Cardy...
This question has been repeated before, but there are a lot of new faces and I'm devoid of inspiration...
Gibraltar did it in 1929. Czechoslovakia did it in 1945, Sweden did it in 1967 (following a referendum in 1955).
Britain and Ireland are yet to do it.
Do what?

Switch to driving on the right hand side of the road?
Sweden rings a bell as having done this, no idea if it fits the other 2 though.
