All kidding aside, I can't imagine living there right after Dunkirk- with the Army knocked off their pegs and the only thing standing between me and the German Army being a battered RAF and the Royal Navy which was strung out to hellandgone. It must have been hard to maintain a cheerful disposition during those dark days.
Thank god that Goering managed to convince Hitler he could bring England to her knees solely through the use of air power, otherwise it would've been all she wrote. Those two were our worst enemy and their own at the same time.
