Damnable nonsense sir, as any one knows, the Americans knew they were on to a winner, they got exorbitant profit from sales of arms to Britain, and got an army that would do all the hardest fighting, against their enemy to boot.
The British army was far more experienced than the American army, and were more than prepared to do the job at hand, and indeed did do so, clearly showing the Americans how war should be conducted.
So the Americans got good profit and an ally second to non, to help fight a foe, that would have turned on America as soon as the Hun, had taken Ivan.
Its been a top secret, ever since the war, that the only reason Ivan beat the Hun, is because British troops, were in Russian uniform and fighting on the Russian front line, with out our boys, Hitler would have over run Ivan.
Our boys were secretly deployed just a couple of hundred mile out side of Moscow, exactly where the Hun attack faltered, this world owes Britain a dept that it can never repay.

No doubt about it…everyone knew the Americans had backed a winner. After all, they didn’t have to press “1” for English, “2” for Spanish, every time they got on the phone. I will easily concede that the Brits—particularly the Scots—were the most ferocious warriors in the fray. But, while you guys may have fought the victory, the US manufactured the victory.
As to the “profit” issue, the Brits could never have afforded the hardware that the Americans sent to them from 1939 on. So FDR devised something called the “Lend-Lease” program where, theoretically, the US either lent or leased the hardware to the UK. Seriously, that was what he called it. O’course, when the Brits returned the leased and loaned hardware it might be in pretty banged up condition, but it was a brilliant way to get around an isolationist US Congress that balked at helping out the Brits and wanted to keep us out of the War.

Not only the British Army, sir, but the British Navy too were the teachers. And, oh, by the way, don’t leave out the RAF and their brilliant performance in the Battle of Britain. Exceptional heros, all. I gotta take away some marks cause you guys didn’t help us with Japan like we helped you in North Africa, Italy and Normandy, but we had our own way of handling the Emperor…as a quid pro quo for your absence, please don’t criticize us for how we did it.

Someone once told me about the time the Polish Army and the Italian Army decided to hold a basketball game without time limits to see who was the best. Well they played and played and played and after three days, day and night, the score was still tied. Finally, the Polish Army boys said f*** it, grabbed their sweats and left. A day and a half later the Italians scored and won. Of course I think the Brits are the best.
God save the Queen, and bless her little German heart.
Well now my man, the breeding shines through again I see , Quality can’t be denied, I always say, Quality cant be denied I do like the like the cut of your jib sir, I really do, in fact looking that jib, it could almost be a British jib, or maybe even a Scottish Jib, Whatever, you’ll do for me sir, you’ll do for me,
Lend lease well yes that’s one story, but I was under the impression we were just running in the engines for you, and never charged you a copper, but ile not argue with a Fellow Aristocrat over a few engines, I say, ile not argue.
Well now the Scots, there’s a fine sight indeed, just like my wife the Duchess don’t you know, she’s from the Land of Heather so she is, ah yes the swirling kilt and a fine sturdy pair of hair covered legs, even down to the sporran, although she wears hers inside her knickers, well it looks like a sporran anyway, ah she’s a wonderful women, wonderful.
Whatever, my man Whatever, so how goes it with you sir, have we laid eyes on any of those Bush loving son of a Guns, pretty low in my estimation those kind are, should be shot at dawn I say, shot at Dawn.
Do we have many of that ilk in this virginity sir, I understand there getting everywhere these days, what, what, keep the blighter's out, that’s what i say, keep um out, a blight on the country no less. Never trust a Bush lover, like a dog with rabies I tell you, should be put down, it would be a mercy.
Anyway, I must be tootling along now, the estate won’t run its self you know, keep your eyes peeled for those damnable Bush lovers, they’ll creep up on you before you know it, sneaky little blighter's, I say sneaky little blighter's, Good day to sir.
It’s a Scottish jib sir. From St. John’s Parrish on the Isle of Mull. And kudos to you for marrying a Scots woman. Not only do they throw fine, sturdy younguns, but they satisfy a man for life.

Well, there’s some truth to that. The North American P-51 Mustang was s**t with the Allison engine. Then the Brits suggested we try the Rolls Royce Merlin engine that was so successful in the Spitfire, and lo, the Top-10 show calls the P-51D the greatest fighter aircraft ever built (I prefer the F-4U Corsair, myself, but then I'm a Navy guy). Donno who paid for that (the Rolls Royce Company licensed the Packard Motor Company to manufacture the Merlin engine in the US) but does it matter? With the Merlin engine and external drop-tanks the American piloted P-51s could escort the B-17s and B-24s all the way to Berlin, fight a dogfight over the Reichstag while the Boeings dropped their loads, and get back to the merry fields of Kent and Yorkshire in time for drinks and a banger, leaving many a Jerry ME-102 pilot to shout, ‘Ich bein foeked!’

Bushrats? They’re an extinct breed, I believe. There were a few of them poking around the garbage dumps late last year, but I hear they were all caught and fed to the Chinese. The head rat is trying for a major speech Thursday, but Americans just consider that down-time for several of the major cable channels. Whenever he speaks, they turn off the TV and get to bed early …as well they should.
Ah, a Sotish Jib sir i knew it, its in the breading sir, it always shines through, i say it always shines through dont you know.
Its damn good to hear the good American people are turning away from the King rat sir, but who will they turn to, is probably the question, do we have another Bush rat in the pipe line to replace him, is what ime wondering my good man?
Whats your opinion of the possible replacements then sir, does one have any idea?
Just let me know if you see any bush rats slinking around sir, and ile give those scoundrels a taste of good British buckshot, it will be a lesson they wont forget in many a long wile sir, i guarantee you. There's nothing like good British buckshot for rats, i say nothing quite like it.
Well, you’ll see a lot of them in lobbying circles in Washington DC, just about a year from now. The rats will be carrying cheese to the Republican parasites. The feeds will take place in the dining rooms of the Mayflower Hotel. Good luck.
