Any good book shop

Disease ridden food. Wine tastes like dishwasher. Smelly women. Lazy b**tards. Language = spittal laden gibberish.

We don't like them. And to be honest, they don't like us either

Who is "we"?

Veck - that's not what the question asked.

Also, the French have had more military victories than any other European country (Britain included). Not that I particularly enjoy or dislike that about France - it's just a fact.

We? Right thinking British people. We've bailed/let of that stinking pile of **** countless times. We should have invaded after Waterloo, abolished the language. We've have been doing them a favour.
Report nononsense • February 7, 2010 10:44 AM GMT
to be honest, there is a part of me that dislikes them for their arrogance, willingness to disrupt public life, ingratitude to Britain, but, there is so much that is wonderful as well.

Hopefully after the invasion, and the abolition of their language, they'd have had better "English" teachers than yourself.

To be honest you sound more like a small island bigot than you do a "right thinking Brit"

France has better countryside than Britain. It also has better beaches and ski-ing if you like that sort of thing. Thats before you consider the food and wine.

Better horseracing as well imo.

Toop. I lived all over and travelled well.

France. You only have to read about Haiti recently. Poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Every single problem in Haiti's history can be laid at the door of France.

Look at French Africa. It makes our colonial past seem like Disneyworld

Their cuisine is loads better than ours, bar eating snails, frog legs and what they do with ducks and their livers.

The same can be said for Afghanistan and Israel's problems being laid firmly at the door of the UK. Pot kettle black springs to mind.

Stumped me there. Millau bridge is impressive. (Brit architect, mind..)
