There is a story, probably apocryphal, of a Lufthansa pilot approaching Frankfurt who addressed the tower in German. The tower asked him to say again in English. He snapped irately, "Why must I, a German, flying for a German airline, in German airspace, approaching a German airport, speak in English?"
Before the tower could respond, a voice with a precise British accent cut in, "Because you lost the bloody war, old boy."
I love you. :bow:
