As an englishman, I must retain my right to make fun of the french and make some critizisms(all in good humor).
#1 French people smell, "le body odur" as one who can't speak french may smirk is out of control in france. How can smelly people be considered refined?
#2 French people eat snails and frogs and other crazy ass swamp food, don't trust them!
#3 I like french toast, so nice.. wait er crap forget that.
#4 If france was so good, why do so many aslyum seekers have to wait in france hoping to go to the lovely shores of England. Surely they'd just live in france.(actually england is incredibly lenient on them if they get here, just actually getting through security)
#5 The french can't actually drive, they instead just zoom about their roads like crazy people, crashing into everything all the time.
There are many more reasons, but I wouldn't want to offend any frenchies here too much, note I don't necessarily mean all of this, just the kind of generalisitic things the english come up with and keep. We always have a rivalry with france so its expected!
I've only been to france twice, once to Lyon for a short break, was a nice place, and also to Paris for an art trip to the Louvre and Musee d'orsay. I'd say in terms of Art and Fashion its top notch but anything else is just like many other cultures you'd find. I got a good impression of things except for the gypsies that bothered us on the way to Lyon at some stop. Sorry wait, "travellers" is the politically correct term for them.
(also eh? france always the big dog? what happened to the British Empire??? well it collapsed lol but I mean I'm fairly sure we were the big dogs at the time, even tho british bulldogs aren't that big, plus I don't see Napoleon being very successful at the end of things when they went against us, we knocked him into an island prison in the most remote place in the world afaik). Also I don't see the majority of India speaking french, they speak english..we made most of the impact there.)
