Beggers! who never saw the war and still carping about our American friends. I remember my old WW1 veteran grandfather and him bringing in a huge plate of scrambled eggs. Yes, reconstituted eggs, in a carton with two hands shaking each other. We all cheered. Eggs a luxury. This after an "all clear" had sounded. On the cuffs were the United States flag on one and the Union Jack on the other.
I am proud of my own country for helping defeat Hitler. I do not kid myself, if America did not help with Lend Lease things would have been different. Once starvation set in there would have been riots and probably started by the British communists. They were already fomenting trouble.
Those that never saw that war are the "experts". Few know how close Britain came to disaster.
A rant by me. I do remember. Thanks America!
Daddy said when they landed in Liverpool in 1944, they were given a small booklet on proper etiquette in England.
One was to not complain about their coffee.
Another was just because they were mild mannered it didn’t mean they were not really tough. It then gave a brief history of British military courage.
