YesDo you mind ! The UK made final payment of war loans to US and Canada in Dec 2006.
I for one am grateful to the French for their interference, even if their motives were possibly more of a "the enemy of my enemy is my ally". I don't want to hi-jack the original poster's thread, but in the interest of finding the truth I offer contradictory evidence to your claim (assuming that the ex-colonial country is in fact the US of A):A certain ex Colonial country (who shalt remain nameless or unmentioned) never paid its dues the French for their military assistance.
As a consequence the poor old French got their butts severely kicked for interfering in a family argument.
Its a lesson for us all on interfering in family affairs as an outsider!

From Answers.com "When did the US pay its Revolutionary War debt to France?
It was paid off ahead of schedule in 1795.
This was a hard one to track down. I finally found an article in The New York Times of March 21, 1921, that quotes Secretary of State Thomas Pickering, who served from 1795 to 1800, as writing:
n the year 1795, the whole of our debt to France was discharged, by anticipating the payment of eleven million and a half of livres, no part of which would have become due until the 2d of September, 1796, and then only one million and a half; the residue at subsequent periods; the last not until the year 1802.
In 1921 while negotiations were underway about World War I debts, a French journalist claimed the United States had never paid off this debt. The New York Times article was in response to his claim."
How did this turn out? The height of the damage seems to indicate a commercial vehicle, but the hit and run aspect is someone taking a big chance that no one saw anything and nothing was recorded on video in the vicinity.Whats this doing here?
Anyhow, there's been some helpful neighbours here, one said a certain delivery company was seen in the area of my van yesterday early morning, so I'm going to their depot today to make enquiries.
We went to a commercial heavy duty vehicle delivery company yesterday but by the time we got there, they had finished for the day, so my wife is going to email them.How did this turn out?
