Modern HT leads cannot be made up from the coil of cloth decorated cable with a spade end to be attached to the plug with a little knurled screw, kept in the box of Seven lx bits in the workshop. On Sunday morning, the rain being too dreadful for almost anything and having to venture out in a working modern motor car, I thought I’d stop by Halfords in Brynmawr, just in case I did not have to wait for the motor factors to open on Monday. Rather than roam the store, I waved the dead HT lead at the lad at the till and asked where I might find one. When he replied “What’s that?” I began to think my journey was in vain. Indeed, subsequent wandering round the store revealed absolutely nothing to do with ignition, certainly not an HT lead.
