Hummmm ... my cent & 1/2 Offering.  Bottom line is the serious question: HOW MANY ANGELS CAN DANCE ON THE HEAD OF A PIN?  ANSWER?  No one knows ...

No, I haven’t seen that one. I’ll look for it on YouTube. Basically, the ‘hate’ of the Yanks by the Brit Commonwealth was pure envy. If I compare pretty much any kit or weapon item in my collection, from ANY nation, it doesn’t compare favourably with its American equivalent.

Very true. NZ food is pretty good. But bloody expensive, lately. If the Brits can’t boil or fry it - it’s not food.

Ever seen this movie? Until They Sail (1957) - IMDb   We were oversexed everyplace we went. 🤣

I like that FS Second Pattern knife.  Hard to find the sheath with the intact strap.  Is it marked ENGLAND on the knife and/or sheath?  If not, then it is most likely a bring-back.

Having owned a flat in Scotland, worked, lived in or rucksacked all over Scotland, Ireland, Rep of, England and Wales...food in all is very bland unless it's pub grub or a chippie. All other food joints are either Indian, Paki or Asian. I prefer UK/Irish beer to anything we yanks brew. I've never been a lager lover. Pretty soon 'everything' will be of another nationality anyway.
