Listen up America and Canada
 

Today we have payed off our 54 million pound debt from WW2.

PS: Thank you for your contribution in WW2. :yep:

Ironic, you played the lead role in Saving Western Civilization and end up owing us money.

Bravo, Britain, bravo.:up:

Anyone know what that would be in today's money?
Oh yeah, I read in todays paper that the U.S. added on back interest so thats another 150,000,000 pounds you owe us. Congress said they'd take Tiny Tim and Boy George in trade though. :)

Sorry, you can't have Boy George but you can have [sickly] Graham Norton instead

:rotfl:

The origional debt was more than 52 million in todays money, but less than 52 million at the time.


The ammount owed constantly changed with the intrest added on each year.


*Edit* Are you sure its not 52 billion?? 52 million is peanuts.

The UK is still in a vast ammount of debt tho, much of it to America.

The UK national debt as at the end of 2003 - the last date for accurate(ish) figures was...£437.4 billion

That was one debt worth getting into! Good job.

I just hope it doesn't take me this long to pay off my student loans :doh:

That's cool, Steed. I wish I could pay off my debts.:p

£437 billion, isn't that much if you think about it.

some pundits were reckoning that now the lend lease debt is paid off that the UK might get more iffy towards the US. Hmm there goes a flying pig.

Thanks for the basing rights during the Cold War...

Yours, Mike

Not saying anything about student loans. :nope:

PS Good on ya Brits. :up:

Good news, now if you Americans could just pay up for the tea (about £6.5M I believe) after that nasty little business in Boston...

;)

And give us our land back....and apologize for their treason....
;)

I'd think bailing ur butts out of WWII bout makes us even now....otherwise you be speaking German or caveman...lol.

That's nincompoop! you only enterd WW1 / 2 when you knew who was going to win ;)
