F*ck me, that's an obscure connection ! Betya no-one got that
answer.......

I've never heard the phrase "Got a light, Mac ?" before - maybe
it was big in the 60's (or Scotland). More likely round these
northern parts is "Got a light, mate ?" or "Got a light, pal".
In Yorkshire you can be called "bud" as well ........
