Regarding saddle mounting threads, all are standard clockwise-to-tighten. Left-hand threads are used only where necessary to keep rotating parts from self-disassembling, so we find them on the fixed BB cup (English/ISO and Swiss), the pedal eye of the left crank and mating pedal shaft, and the bearing cap of old-style freewheels.

My Brooks Pro sometimes creaks, but after 30 years and over 40K miles / 65K km, I suppose it is entitled to!
