So, when I replaced the headlight switch on my garden tractor a few weeks ago, I used one I had in my junk bin. As I was measuring it to make sure it fit the hole in the instrument panel, I noticed that it said LUCAS - MADE IN ENGLAND.
I chuckled, since Lucas electrics have a pretty bad reputation. (Lucas is sometimes referred to as the Price of Darkness.) I installed it, figuring that surely this switch, still in its original package, can't be affected by the Lucas curse.
Well, today, I fired up the garden tractor, and the switch was dead. Tap-tap and it flickered on. Great. I never even owned a British car, and now Lucas has cursed my garden tractor. It's true what they say...
