Thumbs up Brakes Bleeding Squence

My brake feels a bit spongy so im thinking of bleeding my brakes again this weekend. Could some1 please confirm the brake squence?

I found this on another thread but its on the american forum. Their brake cylinder is on the opposite side to our UK version so im pretty sure the squence is different.

[QUOTE]The order in which the brakes should be bled are as follows: Front left, then front right, then rear right, then rear left.

Well, we are right hand drive, so start from front right (or O/S/F).

If I were you though, i'd just nip to a garage and get it done for

i've been told different.... start furthest away from the brake res, and work closer.

Honda said RR, RL, FL, FR.

Which is it

Surely the 'S' uses cross braking system (FL links to RR and FR links to RL) so it should be some kind of cross bleeding procedure like veehexx said?
