In the UK hot should always be on the left.
Not necessarily
I put the cold tap on the left in the bathroom sink, I'm right handed
and if I'm e.g. holding my toothbrush, I can control the water with my
left hand (which is actually completely untrue, but the best reason I
can come up with offhand)
I am very irritated by this 'standard practice' particularly in the
kitchen, where I pick up the kettle in my right hand and have to cross
my left over it to fill it...same for large heavy sauxcepans.
Oh well.
