The United States of America...December 2006....
Do you know what the Americans did to England after the War? because I have just found out...and lets say President Harry Truman...was it? isnt my Favourite President.
Once they actually decided to help the rest of the world (which had paid the ultimate price twice in less then three full decades...whilst The Americans complain about the Great Depression...which we also felt, there was the Great War, and a good half of the Second World War, where they didnt really contribute what the rest of us did...not just in loss of life...but really in terms of economic stability...they didnt have their cities razed to the ground every single night for years!) but I digress...once they joined us, the provided for us...we thought they were being nice....
Yeah...until 1945 when they decided to backdate us and send us a Bill :angry: A bill that almost bankrupted us...We had no economy, because we had been busy fighting freedom at a much higher expense then them...Rationing...for more then TEN YEARS after the war...America on the other hand had booming economies because unlike the rest of Europe...they didnt actually pay the price of the war on their own land...they may have lost men...but what they kept was their cities.
We finished paying the Americans back (financially) the same year I joined this Forum
I think you should ALL watch this :ninja:

Said Churchill to Truman...before Churchill was re-ellected in the 50s
"Great Britian has had its day, now America is in the ascendency, this is the nation of the future, and I would like to be part of it..."
I've always blamed the Germans for our demotion...but I'm a bit gutted to discover who is really responsible for our retirement :sad:
