Took me a bit but some things grew on me. I do enjoy a full English Breakfast but for the life of me I do not know how they remove all the flavor from the sausage

Same way they mastered electrical things and refrigeration. Lucas to the rescue. Dont forget Lucas still holds the patient on the short circuit. Which explains why they drink warm beer. They frige is always broke. Wiring made by Lucas. Still the cheeses are good and being warm with them is OK.

Any mention of jellied eels makes me salivate.
And it is spotty not spotted dick. A superior type of pud, pronounced so it rhymes with wood not mud.

Wasn't the nickname for Lucas the "Prince of Darkness?" For those of us raised on British sports cars of the 60's and 70's......yes. An E-Type would have been a far superior car had Sir William Lyons authorized another source for the electricals.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

Joe Lucas "Prince of Darkness" is spot on. The 40W headlight on my Velocette Venom shone what looked like a curved yellow tube onto the road ahead at about 40mph. Any faster and you could catch up with the tube of light and at 70mph pass it ! Eyes on stalks and speedy reactions were the only way to survive.
As our language becomes impoverished,,our thinking shrinks to fit.

Lucas was well ahead of his time as vehicles with Lucas electronics featured the first intermittent electric windshield wipers although the intermittent part wasn't intentional & 3 position head lamp switches providing dim, flicker & off functions.

Yes,
Do as Mel says.
Charles imported my pair of new Mirokus and everything was as expected, efficient , and modestly priced.
I see no reason to use anyone else for my importing needs going forward.
And, you can shoot at Sandanona when you pick up your toys.
Out there doing it best I can.

Great to hear that MK38 Grade5's are available in NY.
I will now try to persuade my friend Tom Fiumarello sell his Italian Cracked Stock special for a 'proper' gun.
