That was Winston Churchill "The Americans and the British, two friendly peoples seperated by a common language."

I was watching Rick Steves, the travel show guy, doing a documentary on how they produce his shows. The comment was that they have to do filming in galleries when they are closed (and pay handsomely). They noted that some art and statues that have been on display in Europe they do not film because of American mores. This prudishness probably dates from the Pilgrims, yet it seems you can't go three minutes in a movie without four lettered words - go figure.
