3.7 billion GBP since 1996
Ok so they are talking about it on todays news. We the UK have paid America 3.7 billion GBP in the last 10 years for WWII.
God knows how much it will actually be when you take the payments all the way to 1945. So we paid America to fight in WWII did we pretty expensive mercenaries so will America be paying UK for fighting in Iraq.??? WTF

Ha, not even close to the same comparison. But I'm sure we will have mega statisticians posting to this. N.America is owed so much money from WWII it isn't even funny.
One view, the Iraq war is not the USA fighting to keep its country where as in WWII...German would be your language of choice in the UK now if N. America didn't get physically involved.

This announcement will put things in Perspective to any Euro-Skeptics:  The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European nation rather than German which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k".
