Default Handbrake Adjustment OMG the ‘HOW TO’ is wrong!

Just spent most of this afternoon trying to adjust my handbrake following the ‘HOW TO’ here: - http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/index.php?thepage=howto

With reference to the actual adjustment it quotes, ‘Moving the adjuster under as opposed to over should push the shoes closer to the drum.’
This is wrong, as the adjuster has a right hand thread the wheel needs to be pushed up and over to expand the shoes!
After spending a good few hours with my screwdriver thorough one of the wheel nut holes I thought NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- this for a game of soldiers and whipped the calliper and disk off to actually see what was going on!

As you can see from the photo this is a right-hand thread.
