EA Notices - River Closures and Restrictions

Thus, at a stroke, overturning at least decades of custom (cf Rive Gauche in Paris)

This is true but not in the Marine sense, all ports and rivers are buoyed Port/Starboard as you head into port or upstream.
The mistake the EA have made is to use non nautical terms left and right in presumably an attempt to not confuse the non nautical types.

Fair point.
