How come there aren't any computers made in England?

It's too hard to get a computer to leak oil.

Has to be some joke about Lucas electronics that applies here.

Agreed, the answer WOULD be some sort of Lucas reference. The leaking oil would be appropriately referenced;

Q: Why dosen't Harley make computers?

A: They haven't figured out how to make them leak oil. :)

Many decades ago when I worked with foreign cars we called Lucas the demon of darkness.

Harley??? No!!! Even brand new BSA's, Nortons & Triumphs leaked oil. The Harley comment that I remember is:

The Harley Pig-a-son design philosophy: If it breaks, make it bigger. If it sticks out, chrome it.
