I am running an up to date Jessie with the bash shell and have 
encountered a very strange problem.

I have the following line in my /home/comp/.bashrc;

  alias l='ls -l --color'

If I source the file in my /home/comp it works - once!, and only in my 
home directory!!!  If I change to another directory - it doesn't work!

I'm not even sure what to Google at this point.

Any pointers tot he solution to this problem will be much appreciated.

Thanks in return.
