Watching this documentary at the mo...

Apparently, a loan that the UK took out with Uncle Sam in 1945 to help her recover from the Second World War was finally paid off as we entered 2007...

Hurrah! That'll Ding Dang Do for me...!

Thanks to the Court of St James. You may have your collateral, Roger Moore, back safe and sound.

I thought Ringo Starr was the collateral?

BTW, I though we forgave a lot of those Allied loans.

I hope it wasn't John Lennon...

The Loan just recently paid off was to help Britain re-build after the war. It had nowt to do with the war itself. It wasn't on the most favourable terms either because we had a socialist government at the time - which went real well with US politicians...
