News doesn't go instantly. I posted it about 9:18 but the fetchnews appears
not to've kicked in until 9:32. I triggered it manually then. If I'd
left it to do it on its own, the post might not've appeared until 10.
(really should check my cron settings sometime but as I usually trigger the
fetchnews manually once I've finished posting, there's no real need...)

System clock's fine here. People really need to realise usenet isn't
instant.

But clearly your other settings aren't.

In America you'd get a resounding "huh"? "Near side" and "off side" aren't
terms used here to describe either side of a vehicle. We use "left" and
"right", from the perspective of the driver or rider. As anyone with any
sense whatsoever would.
