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.

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.
