I thought they declared peace against Russia in the 80s at some point, when the discrepancy was revealed.
I seem to remember that this particular pub conversation arose from the fact that Berwick was still at war with some other country.
Thus the plan was to build a weapons factory in Berwick, insure it for millions, take out bets in Ladbrokes that country x will launch a ballistic attack on Berwick, then launch something at aforementioned country (with a Greetings from Berwick postcard attached).
Then, flee and hope said country restricts its wrath to your weapons factory, and that your insurance company will pay out.
