We the British in general tolerate the French, without liking them. Rather like a close relative,who is a bit odd, you smile, eat their food, but you can never love them. Close neighbours often have feuds and long term quarrels. The France / Britain animosity has lasted for many hundreds of years, and without bias I can say the French are a jealous race. Language, Politics,world influence,WW 1, WW 2,anything which suggests France is not a World player, and Thierry Henry turning into a Londoner!

Yeah most of them are fine.



I think the problem is not with the general English/French it is Parisians and Londoners.



Always rushing about with no time to treat the people they meet with respect. I saw this TV show where a guy was hanging off the side of a bridge in London, so many people just walked on past it sickened me.

Well the French are known to be very rude and obnoxious with the English. I have tried my French whilst on holiday and was asked to leave the resturant?!! I wasn't rude just asked if lobster was priced per kilo....so that kinda put me off trying to speak French again!! Depends on peoples experience - as with any other nationality - so I wouldn't take it personally.

Bon nuit.xx

I have no problems with the French. Mind you, I can speak French so I can communicate in their language. I love most of the food in France and the wine is to die for !!!! Yummy!

I'm sure some are okay but I personally still can't forgive the burning of imported live sheep by the French farmers!

I know the Brits dont like the french as a nation but I personally dont have a problem with them. I like to think I judge people as individuals

They must like Them, they fought their war and won, twice. The French seem to suffer from Amnesia about that.

As a nation, the 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys' are arrogant and think they are the cream of europe (despite being invaded more times than I have had hot dinners). Their language is c..p and their food is disgusting and are hygienically suspect as a nation who spends more of perfume than soap.



But catch one on his own and he's not too bad.

Love them! Beautiful country, yummy food, splendid wines, lovely girls, sexy underwear, perfumes to die for, quality goods, flair and originality. Bags of culture, lavish hospitality. Why do you think the Brits are moving to France in droves?
