The French.

[steve56]

Is it true they are very stand offish and dont like us British?

[colonel]

There have never been any great French drummers.

Basicaly the French don't like anyone else but the French - so it's not specifically a British thing. They're just pissed off that French language and culture take a back seat in the whole world, otside of a handful of countries.

[JonnyHungwell]

And when you've got a Gallic Dwarf as president, it can only get worse.

[Jacques]

Are you seriously suggesting that the French have no culture?

[Jacques]

Not really Steve. The French consider it rude to address them in English and hence the racial stereotype. Speak French or have a go at speaking French and they are fine.

[Jacques]

You'll be saying that they stink and the women don't shave next!!!

Bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys.

I'd confirm this, though one Frenchman took it a little far with me.

He stopped me outside Westminster tube station and asked, in French, directions to the British Museum. I don't speak French, but, obviously, the words 'British Museum' and his gesticulations gave me enough to understand him.

Unfortunately, I couldn't help him in my directions and so wrote down the names of Tubes stations/lines he should follow instead. He looked at my directions, dismissed me with a wave of the hand and threw my paper in the bin, walking off!

Maybe he'd bumped into a few forumites on here, before meeting me. Enough to put anyone in a bad mood !wink!

As for a lack of culture.........hahahahahahahahahahaha!

France is beautiful, one of my bros has a place down south, people in the village cultured and polite, kids well behaved, it only goes downhill when I arrive with my entourage, I think they see me as a little crued....cunts!
