Japan, like Germany after the war was given all new machinery by the USA/UK to get them back on their feet and stop them going down the communist path. both countries had dedicated workers. In the UK we were left with 1920's (and even older) machinery and outmoded production practices with labour forces unwilling to change
Plus of course a massive debt to the USA, which i believe has only just been paid back, kt
#13 do tushy musta or better remembered as Dont touch my moustache . Cheers JS
#14 So the USA/UK rebuilt the German & Japanese economy after the war.
Explain this then please
Great Britain, with $3.1 billion, received the most aid under the Marshall Plan; Iceland, with $32 million, received the least. The aid came in the form of grants, food, goods, and tariff reductions. I know the UK stole the designs from the German company DKW for the British motor cycle industry, The BSA Bantam was that design , one of the most successful BSA's of all time. Concerning assistance to the Japanese I believe they assisted Nissan Motors. The attached link is an interesting read.

The UK squandered the money from the Marshal plan on propping up the Empire!!!
For those not conversant with the Japanese lingo like Cappy and me , Arigato means thank you, and Doh tushy mustah, means don’t mention it. There is nothing sexual there whatsoever as we led blameless lives in those days. JS.
My husband, Stan Grinham (Goolie to his shipmates) would have seen this . Some of his ships were: MV Hauraki (1962, and 1966), MS Ruahine(1962-1963), MS Turakina (1964-1964), MV Gloucester (1964-1966), TSS Hororata (1966), MV Nottingham(1966) and SS Devon(1967) not sure what others he was on. He was at sea until 1979.
