Which Is Better...thai Price Tag Vs British Quality?

[rene123]

Genuine question...........

When was the last time you bought a poor quality British manufactured item?

Have you ever owned a car/motorcycle with a Lucas-made electrical system?

The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."

Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they do still have a claim to "sudden, unexpected darkness."

Lucas -- inventor of the first intermittent wiper.

Lucas -- inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.

The three-position Lucas switch -- DIM, FLICKER and OFF.

The other three switch settings -- SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.

The original anti-theft devices -- Lucas Electric products.

"I've had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob...."

If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.

Did you hear about the Lucas-powered torpedo? It sank.

It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance.

Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner, "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" He replied, "It doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens anyway!"

Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck.

Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer.

Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas makes refrigerators, too.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the short circuit.

Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times sunwise around your car chanting: "Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant."

Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.

In all good humour there has to be a good amount of truth. My grandfather had a Landrover. I still remember him swearing at it.

Did not help though..Landrovers were just too dense to respond.

I wonder why this even needs a discussion...

I do hope you think differently,when you are being flown,by British, Rolls Royce Jet Engines,have a good flight!

Yes, Rolls is second in jet engine production only to General Electric. Perhaps that is because the Rolls engines are made from Legos.

In a long past career I used to work on Landrovers and Bedford trucks. There was much swearing going on all day long!

Seriously, I used to wonder if their design engineers used to sit around discussing how they could make it harder to maintain their products, but probably decided it would be impossible to make it harder than the existing models.
