The bankers and profiteers would disagree.

Yes, sadly... & Lady Diana I think, would agree...

My point being that The United Kingdom remained The United Kingdom at the end of '45 after a long and vicious bombing campaign.

But they paid for it in a big way with both casualties and $$$$

Do you always have to go left field on every post i write DL??

sorry WYL. I didn't think I did left field your post, as you responded to my post to Biffen, so I didn't left field your post per se', but the war theme.

without meaning to be adversary, I like to cast a broader view.

It's not a putdown, whenever I do that, but trying to widen the aspect rather than a microcosm which does nothing.

# Edit: I just realised you possibly think I'm correcting you, or something, when I respond to your posts, but rather I see you as a friend & not a foe, so feel like just adding,,, to your posts, as a friend.

Its not criticism in any way, WYL.

no probs but broaden your view separately.

My post try to be on a specific point. We all know the human cost of war.

Very few people realize that Britian was almost broke after WW2 but the flag kept flying.

60 years to pay it off.

Just a sidenote to Drugs & sport.

A new found sports person & demon supporter has just passed away Saturday. Found at home when friends went to pick him up for the days sport.

Died alone...

He was a Heavy drinker, smoker, & suffered Diabetes 1.

RIP Pete.
