Uh, what?

Interesting news item... Britain makes final WWII replayments to Canada and US.

I'm not sure what surprised me more:
(a) that I didn't know there was an outstanding debt left from WWII;
(b) that it wasn't paid off long ago; or,
(c) that the US and Canada didn't forgive any outstanding balance decades ago.

I wonder what other financial commitments from WWII (or earlier) are still outstanding by any of the parties involved.

One would have thought all the checks for WWII were written many years ago. Very strange....(after all i thought Canada and Britain were the same thing back in the 40s....)

Yeah, I would have thought it all would have been resolved by the mid-1950s or so. If the UK had asked me, I would have forgiven everything years ago.

Hey, Britain: Call me... we'll work something out.
