When was the last time the UK was actually 'AT WAR'? The Second Iraq War? Did we dodge Syria/Lybia/Arab Spring wars? Feels like, if that is the case, then it's been quite a long run without one. They usually rolled along every 10 years or so before - Gulf War 1, Falklands War, I assume we didn't wet our beaks in Vietnam but I guess you could Cold War the whole period.
