For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When I served in a Welsh regiment(1st Battalion Royal Welch Fusiliers) we used to call the English lads Limey's, as the Americans used to call them.
They all took it in good spirit(there were a fair few) and had joined as a result of their grandfathers or other relatives who had served with the regiment, so they were particularly admired for it.
