"And of course: Do you know why the British drink warm beer?
Because Lucas made all the refrigerators. "

DAMN you stole my favorite Lucas joke.
Lucas when you want to put a LITTLE light on something.
Lucas you know you wanted to stop right here anyway -we helped!
Lucas directional signals have 2 positions - random and "wild guess"!
BUT the Switch still works, I think, [but it feels a little "funny"].
I am getting old, we used to have dozens of Lucas jokes and I can't remember them. Maybe if I can borrow a Triumph or B.S.A. for a ride it will remind me of more.
I do remember one car I worked on that "compromised" on "Language Barrier" instead of saying negative earth [Amer. neg. ground] it said negative "earth ground".

JAGMAN and Vagrant,

LOL! Great Lucas jokes! :D They're funny now but I wasn't laughing when I had a 1951 XK120 back in the '60's. :?

I found less humor when my Triumph Daytona decided to go "lights out" at about 90mph on a back road in the middle of nowhere [also known as Loisiana] on a very dark night. But a glowing [red hot] wire at least gave me a clue as to where I should start the trouble shooting. Thirty + years later it seems funnier than it did at the time. [Twisting two wires togeather replaced the toasted switch and a piece of my shirt worked as insulation with only an occassional spark and dimming light!] The patch job went quickly since I had no interest in having a relationship with any Gators or Cottonmouths from the nearby bayou.
