Overfed, Overpaid, Over-sexed and Over Here The Americans knew as little about the British as the British knew about them and, in an effort to avoid misunderstandings, incoming GIs were issued with their own version of "Meet the Americans"，a 38-page booklet called “A Short Guide to Great Britain": It included an American /English dictionary', and some sensible advice: "You will naturally be interested in getting to know your opposite number' the British soldier, the ‘Tommy' you have heard and read about. You can understand that two actions on your part will slow up the friendship一 swiping his girl and not appreciating what his army has been up against.

They were highly paid, free spending and generous-though this generosity may have been partly connected with their problems of understanding the British currency of pounds, shillings and pence.

That was one girl's complaint recorded in Norman Longmate' s book about the period, "The GIs"．"With the GIs it was very different," she went on. "The GIs would buy me a drink and entertain me as if I was the only person in the room.” The Americans couldn't fail. Soon they were ‘swiping' girls all over the country, particularly the highly-prized" blondes. They further enraged the British Tommy with the occasional tackless remark："We've come over here to win the war for you.
