Oh go on OverRun, don't keep us in the dark, which runway is it?

It does seem that the 02/20 prohibition is an Australian convention, I believe arising after an accident at Townsville (017°/197°) where some unfortunate soul confused one for the other and ran into one of the lumpy bits that proliferate around Townsville.

Dyslexics visiting Singapore beware! Just about every damned runway here is a 02/20 (or is it 20/02?)

Regards,
