ⓘ Don't mention the war Cette phrase vient de la série comique britannique des années 70 Fawlty Towers, dans laquelle John Cleese joue le rôle de Basil Fawlty, le patron d'un hôtel situé quelque part sur la côte sud de l'Angleterre. Dans un épisode intitulé The Germans, des clients allemands séjournent dans l'hôtel; Basil Fawlty a reçu un coup sur la tête et n'arrête pas de répéter à ses employés whatever you do, don't mention the war ("surtout, ne parlez pas de la guerre") mais lui-même ne cesse de faire référence à la Seconde Guerre mondiale en parlant aux clients allemands. Le sketch est tellement connu qu'aujourd'hui cette phrase est souvent utilisée par les Britanniques de façon humoristique lorsqu'ils parlent des Allemands.
