“1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks?”

Lucas once made a vacuum cleaner. It’s the only product they ever offered that didn’t suck.

The three-position Lucas switch - dim, flicker and off.

The other three-position Lucas switch - smoke, smolder and burn.

Someone once told Joseph Lucas his electrical components suffered from short circuits. His solution: longer wires.

Q: Why do the British drink warm beer?
A: Because they have Lucas refrigerators.

Anyone who’s ever owned a British car will know what I’m talking about. :)

I have to disagree with the British car electrical problems. I had a 74 Triumph Spitfire, the electrical system was the only thing that didn’t give me problems. Car lasted for 12 of the 18 payments and threw a rod.

Thus the name of my cat, Lucas Prince of Darkness. He is, of course, black.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I had a ‘71 Spitfire that taught me very quickly to use hand signals instead of the turn signals ... and blowing out the flames in the steering column after the smoke started flowing out of it.
