He has just said we are close, what planet is he living on? Everybody knows the French hate us and the feelings are mutual aren't they?? I won't even buy their apples....wait for the flak!! |

As a matter of fact, as our newspapers often recite with envy here, "France is still top list, along with Spain, in the holiday preferences of the English" |

I quite admire the French for standing up to their governments and sticking together....I did NOT admire the way they set fire to our cattle trucks some years ago....cruel. |

I've visited France on 20 or more occasions and have nothing but admiration for the people and their country. Compare our crime rates for instance......and our taxes, and our public transport, and our food, and our young people. Need I say more. One thing the French did get wrong is that very silly 2CV, but no-ones perfect. So what's with all the French stick? Andre. |
