Gordon, why do you think any other country close to france do not like the French, The Spanish are non too fussed, the English, the Belgians and the Dutch have no love for them. the italians do not like them, I think the Germans wouldn't miss them if they were not there. They are arrogant ignorant and downright rude. they are self-centred and believe themselves to be far superior to everyone else, how can we begin to like them?
