I find the reference to 'who won (the war?) to be rather offensive, especially today tbh. I dont have a clue just why some folk seem to think this has anything to do with winning or losing' the war.' Rather, its a sad indictment of British workers who sat on their fat arses for too long during the 60's and 70's and thought the world owed us a living.
While we had people going on strike at the drop of a hat, making shoddy equipment etc (look at the british car industry when BMW were just a 'quirky' foreign car manufacturer) and you can see the seeds of just why foreign companies now own so much of our infrastructure.
But hey ho, each to their own.
