Ok, need I remind you dissing the French that the only reason Britian stayed in both world wars was the ability of the army to run away faster than the Germans could catch them.
Never under-estimate the tactical importance of a rapid withdrawal!
The real WWII French paradox is that when they fought the Germans they were pansies, but when they fought us they were tough as old boots.
Contrary gits.

And faster than the French could give up. (Point taken, though.)

Thanks chaps. I’ve now cracked out 48 in the last two weeks.
So about as many as Peeler "cracks out" in a day, then? Still very impressive.

They might have been a bit miffed when we sunk their fleet. Let's face it, no one would have called 125 years of not fighting the French interesting.
