Pay up!

Sorry about yesterday - bit of a downer, but today I'm back on top of things, or at least as much on top of things as I ever get these days. So what's in the news today? Well it seems that we have finally paid off our war debt to the USA and Canada. Only taken 65 years! It's all too easy to take the mickey out of the Yanks for their late arrival in both World Wars, but it's worth remembering that, had it not been for lend-lease, we might well not have survived to see their entry into WWII.
