During the Falkland war the English troops nicknamed the members of the local population 'Bennys' after a character from the English soap Crossroads, famous for his wooly hat and limited intelligence. This was considered politically uncorrect and the solders were ordered to stop and that the population were not Bennys. Henceforth the Falkland Islanders were refered to by the solders as 'Not Bennys'
