I used to have an old (50s) Rover. The handbook, written in the dignified prose of the time, had a list of faults and their likely causes. For some of them the cause was listed as 'the responsibility of the driver'. Most horn malfuntions seem to be of this sort.
Now you're talking! Having owned several old Rovers over the years I know what you mean about the handbooks.
And yes, we probably worry far too much about instruments, mouthpieces etc. and fail to recognise 'the responsibility of the driver.' I suppose a modern equivalent is the user error acronym in the computer world PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair). In my case it is definitely PEBMAC.
