I was being polite. We are, after all, speaking of a part of the British Commonwealth...although the rules appear to be quite a bit looser below the equator. And at the time, things may have been pretty loose back in the Mother Country as well. Legend has it that a GI who showed up with a canned ham and a sack of sugar could get most anything he asked for.

Should I be insulted? Or simply amused? I shall flip a coin to decide... Ah, what the hell. I had a laugh.
The only thing I ever really learned about American GIs was that they didn't get on well with the Diggers. Mostly over women I think. Hardly surprising...
