The Brits referred to American GIs in the UK as "Overfed, oversexed, and over here" (some versions have 'overpaid' instead of 'overfed')

To which Americans developed a response - that Brits were underfed, undersexed, and under Eisenhower!

Bread wasn’t rationed but the only bread you could get your hands on was “the national loaf”, which my grandmother informed me was “saltier than unwashed seaweed”.

Makes one grateful to live in a more plentiful age!

Trading ration cards was actually very common! I imagine the only Brit who didn't like tea or sugar was living like the king.

Yeah, these are just the rationed goods. Bread wasn't rationed during WW2 for the Brits. Vegetables and the like also weren't rationed.
