Oh, wait. Us Brits aren't Johnny Foreigner, are we? No matter where

Well if it wasn't for us they would be speaking German ...

If it wasn't for the yanks, actually.

And they sent us the bill....

Why should they be paying for what you lot got yourselves into, again ?

They paid quite a bit to ensure that there wouldn't be another world war

The war in the Pacific was an American one.

The Americans didn't win the war in Europe, the Russians did.
