Jif was always Cif across europe

it was just in the UK that they felt 'Cif' was to close to 'Syphilis' and wouldn't sell.

100% FACT!

We are British and we are always correct

That's why we don't have to learn other languages, and we cross the language barrier by the use of shouting in English so that johnny foreigner can understand.

I once met a French couple who found it easier to understand us if we talked with 'Allo 'Allo accents. Was most amusing for us all.
