Re: How things have changed
One of my aunts was a GI bride. She and her husband visited us in the UK several times in the 1980s and early 90s. My dad took Johnny to the Shuttleworth Collection at Biggleswade once, which he greatly enjoyed although it brought back mixed memories. My dad recounts him standing by the V-1 exhibit, saying to another old fellow next to him, "I remember being underneath one of those goddamn things when the engine shut off." The bloke replied, "Ja?"
After that, if you'll pardon the pun, they got on like a house on fire.
