Weird and interesting TV facts

[Nuytsia]

Geees it's weird how things relate to each other. I posted this about the drink White Russian , and the next night I was watching Foyle's War on TV (see it relates to the thread topic) and I learned what 'White Russian' actually IS (presumably where they got the name of the drink from).
Apparently it referred to those Russians who fought on the opposite side to the majority of Russians (ie communist and hence ''Red Russians' according to the British anyway) in WW2. I didn't realise that even happened. I MAY have learned it in school and forgotten..... but I don't think so.
ps Yay they just started screening new episodes of Foyle's War! It's not the sort of show I'd ever have thought of watching, but I did watch it once and it's really good! Interesting to learn about what was going on in WW2 England and it's fun trying to solve the murder! (there are actually clues that make sense so you CAN solve it! not like most shows like that)
