They put them that way up so dogs can't put a paw on them and open it, to escape...

I think you're right, particularly when dogs are on the menu. Sweet and sour corgi anyone?

My local chinese takeaway has had a new uPVC door fitted and I took this pic today. How kind of them to add operating instructions in English.......note the exclamation mark as if to say; ''Dear customer, we are trotally fred-up with you prushing the handle down, prease, prease, you must prush it up, stupid''

Now I'm no expert but I think the solution is to remove the two screws, rotate the handle 180 degrees then refit........right?

hehe , I reckon the door lock is not installed properly if the internal handle is not parallel with the external one , am I wrong ?

Yes your wrong its a split spindle set up and the holes go all the way through the lock for use either side.
