Indoor Amusements
•Not
much whiskey is now being drunk as war time taxes have shot the price up to
$4.50 (today £25)
•The
pub is “the poor man’s club” … gathering place - as such you will find a
great deal of enjoyment in them
•Re
the ‘Tommy’: Two actions on your
part will slow up this friendship – swiping his girl and not appreciating
what his army has been up against.
Yes, and rubbing it in that you are better paid than he is.
•Keep
out of arguments. You can rub a
Britisher up the wrong way by telling him ‘we came over and won the last
one’.
•Don’t
try to talk politics. You may hear
them criticising their government which is their privilege, not ours
•Don’t
try to impress them that everything in America is better …their crack steam
trains hold world steam records…
•NEVER
criticise the King or Queen
It is always impolite to criticise your hosts
It is militarily stupid to criticise your allies
