Got it. The guy had no clue though, because I asked ("Do you have the marathon in stock, as I've heard the marathon plus are no longer recommended by Brompton?"
The mechanics (supposedly) are aware of this, because the majority of them attend the training that Brompton provided, which is where we learn about this issues amongst other stuff.
The shop floor staff, may not know this, so every now and then they sell Marathon Plus without knowing this, it's usually tricky because they always get new part timers every now and then.

He looked at me as if I was talking another language)... but that's all they had, that and Brompton's own brand, which felt a bit too lightweight...
Really doubt it's going to touch the stays as I'm pretty sure that's a "plus" I'm currently running. If it works i won't be looking at replacement for a good while...
