Yeah, I've seen that (maybe in a WW2 doc), I don't think there's going to be too many people old enough to answer your question: do we have any 90 year old members here?
One thing, apparently the UK soldiers were jealous of how much the G.I.s were paid (over-paid, over-sexed & over here), as they always seemed to have tons of money, but it seems that wasn't quite true. Come payday, as soon as they could, they'd go out & blow the lot & then stay in camp until the next payday, so every time you saw a US soldier they were waving wads of cash around.

Is that Burgess Meredith in his pre-Penguin days ?
I wonder if it was habitual for him to use a cigarette holder and he took it to his Penguin portrayal…
Maybe it was an early vape?

...fruit machines....
Another one of your thinly-disguised gay remarks?

But what surprises me, Your Grace, is that they're quiet about it. I always wish I could do ASL with someone whenever I go into a bar here.

now that the video is blocked there's no point in my posting:
at 13:35, they talk about rationing butter,etc. It's stuck in my mind that the Brits are still having to do this.
When I went to London, I was tempted to give TG a pound of sugar and a pair of nylons!
