I don't know who said it first, but, Had it not been for our coming to their aid, they might likely be speaking German today.

My pop was stationed outside of London back in the 50’s while in the USAF . He said you’d go in a pub/tavern and they didn’t have much to say , but if you bought a round they were all your friends that night . He said they were having a recession while he was there and a bottle of beer was about a nickle and those guys would nurse one bottle all night . And they were in heaven if a Yank gave them a second and or third bottle . Of course he said when you bought a round it was usually six or less customers .
