True story Heinz - I once sailed with a Danish 1st Engineer who's wife was having trouble with their Golf (they lived in Edinburgh). Anyway, during one phone call home she related a story about the rectification of fuel flooding. All appeared well. A few weeks later there was another flooding problem which he couldn't fathom. Turns out she parked in the city, leaving the sunroof open. A downpour while she was shopping added water to the car's interior.  What was that old phrase. "I have made the change, it is now idiot proof." and the reply "We will now find a better standard of idiot."
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

"I have made the change, it is now idiot proof."
and the reply
"We will now find a better standard of idiot." Absolutely spot on!

"We will now find a better standard of idiot." Sounds like something Spike Milligan would say.

In the early 80s I worked for Alfa Laval designing and building food production plants. It was the early days of PLC controls and Alfa Laval launched their automation system call ALERT. The ads said "be Alert" and those of us in the know added we to this to become.
Be ALERT we need more LERTS.
