We call pretty much all our rivers river something as opposed to something river because that's how English works, (or should work.)
As for the siee of the road, our way has always made sense. It goes back to riding on horseback and carrying a sword. As most people are right handed the sword would be on the left meaning if you rode on the right hand side of the road yourswords would clatter against each other.
No problem on the left side.
13 variety/vaudeville stars of yesteryear.
1. Little Titch.
Quote:Harry Relph (21 July 1867 – 10 February 1928),[1] professionally known as Little Tich, was a 4-foot-6-inch-tall (137 cm) English music hall comedian and dancer during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was best known for his acrobatic and comedic "Big-Boot Dance", which he performed in Europe and for which he wore boots with soles 28 inches (71 cm) long. Aside from his music hall appearances, he was also a popular performer in Christmas pantomimes and appeared in them annually at theatres throughout the English provinces. He repeated this success in London, where he appeared in three pantomimes at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, between 1891 and 1893 alongside Dan Leno and Marie Lloyd.
