A lucas torch .Funny.





Yeah it was, but it would've played a little better over here in The States if the word "flashlight" had been used instead.

And which now reminds me...

Seein' as how old British cars and motorcycles usually used a Lucas positive ground(earth) electrical system, would ya have to insert the batteries in a "Lucas flashlight(torch)" the opposite way than usual? YOU know, like with the batteries positive-end little "nubs" facing down instead of up?

(...saaaay, maybe THIS is why Stephen can't get his Christmas present to work?...maybe he's got the batteries in it the wrong way???)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
