I have some more info on Marmots, you may re-member the thread
a couple of months back.  Anyway here is the story of 
how they came to tinker with your LBC's.   

Marmots where the original technicians that launched the 
rockets that put the geo-stationery hamsters into orbit. 
Geo-stationery hamsters you may remember are the thing
you attach to your watch with a peace of string to find
your way home from the pub when very drunk.  Where the 
whole concept came from.  Anyway, with the demise of the
hamster space race in the late 70's, due to the disbandment
of the UHUUSSR (United Hamster Unions of the USSR), and the
National Astronomical Hamster Space Exploration Research Centre
(NASHER) no longer being worried about UHUUSSR hamster mis-guiding
people back from pubs, it was decided to cut down on the 
number of launches.  Hence allot of Marmots were given early 
retirement, and when out in such of something to do for the rest
of there days.  They were attracted to Triumphs, because the
styling of cars reminded them of the Hamster space craft module
design (a lot like the shuttle, but using a snake as the primary
booster rocket).  So they took to living in your LBC's and 
going out on the pull, getting very drunk, tripping over wires
on the way in, and hence causing the electrical problems. 

So that's the story
