I think they were marvellous. I know I got married in ‘42 in England. And, we used to go, I used to go into London at various times, but they carried on in their own way. It was amazing. I used to go down the, we call the underground, the subway, and they had beds there and when the sirens rang they all went down quietly. No problem. The air force, the British Air Force was out of this world. And we had many Canadians who were pilots during that time. Oh they had very great respect for us. More so than the Americans. They treated us very well. We went into a bar, they offered us a drink, because we were new. But they weren't... I wouldn't say they went out of their way to be polite, they were polite. Everything was carried on just as they were. And they took things as they came, they knew they had to go in the shelter, take their blankets with them or their mattress and they used to sing and dance. Which amazes me anyways. These people they were going to be killed. No worry at all. No worry whatsoever.
