"Be A Lert - Britain needs lerts".

Bugging me now - when, where, why?

Sorry - probably a regional/cultural thing as opposed to just an age related memory.
Seemed to be something "everyone" said at one time - a bit like "Beanz means ...." and can't remember when or why.

I don't believe it is credited ... it's been around many decades going back to old radio comedies like Round the Horne, Goons etc. My old Mum-in-law used to say it often if that helps Rog
