Thanks for that perspective from England, Joe. So you repaid your war loans to us so that we could rebuild Germany and Japan? Did you finance the Marshall Plan?
 
By the late 60s, though, England swung, didn't it (like a pendulum)? Was it as late as the 90s that class distinctions began to break down? I ask because a friend of mine from England who has lived here since the 50s said sometime in the 90s that she had been "home" and noticed that class distinctions were fading.
