England. An entire country that doesn’t understand electricity.

I had a 1975 Triumph Trident. Great bike. But the Lucas electronics were unbelievably bad. They still don't know how to make a starter.
Was he watching video of the bathtub scene early in Goldfinger?

LOL! You must have owned an MG.
Old joke: Why do the Brits drink warm beer? Because Lucas makes their refrigerators......
Q - Why do The English drink warm beer?
A - Lucas also makes refrigerators.
Also an entire country that doesn’t know how to attain gender agreement in a sentence.
do they think about it the same was as Germany? ie, that it can come in abundance from windmills and solar?
The whole point of wall warts is to relieve the main electronic contraption of the regulatory certifications required for “high” voltage devices — the 120/240 is supposed to stop at the wall wart, with only the low voltage — 5 volts in the case of a USB device — continuing on to the electronics. It the old days, the high voltage went right in to the main device, and was regulated and conditioned there.
I was talking to some workers in a clock shop, and they said their insurance won’t let them fix a 120v (or 240v) clock — they have to replace the old motor with a new low voltage one, and use a wall wart to connect to the house lines.
Anyhow, someone dropped the ball.
Or dentistry.
Had a Morgan with Lucas Electrics, whether or not anything would work depended on how the car felt from day to day.
Usually, the electrical liked to act up when I was getting my safety inspection, especially the turn signals which would refuse to work (as opposed to when I was driving the car, when they usually were ok). However, I did discover that if I was in my car and had the turn signal indicator on, I could sometimes make them work by quickly revving up the engine for a second. However, I had to do it in a way that I did not arouse the suspicion of the safety inspector.
