In Frankfurt...

Lufthansa pilot is told to delay takeoff for a higher priority aircraft. The obviously frustrated German pilot is heard making very biting comments - in German.

Tower: Lufthansa 4130, please remember that the international language for aviation is English. Repeat in English.

Pilot (in English): Why should I, a German pilot, in a German airplane, flying for a German airline, and at a German airport, have to speak in English?

Another pilot - in a thick British accent: Because you lost the bloody war, that's why.
