I thought it was Tommy, may be wrong though. Iach y da cariad.

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.
