    Talking So it's not just us.....

    Now I knew that the old English / French dislike still existed, but wasn't aware of what the rest of Europe thinks of them

    Ah, the French. Don't get me started on the French. Or the Germans. Or the Scots, to be honest. And as for the Welsh...



    We all hate each other, lets be honest. The English are hated, the French are hated, the Germans are hated. Lets just all come together, united by our common hatred of each other, and sing songs in a universal language (English), around the camp fire.

    I'll start, with a delightful rendition of 'Candy Shop' by 50 Cent.

    All together...

    bsodmike:

    1) Hatred of the French, Germans, English, etc is more xenophobia than racism.
    2) We have a long and proud history of hating the French, as long and proud as their record of hating us. Its just the way things are, after all, we are not the United States of Europe.
    3) Your avatar, whilst booby-tastic, has to go, me old son.

    Cheers.

    No No No No No, you've got it the wrong way round.

    We English are so used to everyone hating us and telling us at every available opportunity (as evidenced by your post) that we just grin and bear it, stiff upper lip and all that Look at all the greatest sports in the world, we invented them. Yes the colonials keep beating us at them now, but what do you expect when they're all criminal decendants. They're better at running and all that after all that practise escaping from the law

    Of course we have to beat them now and again just to remind them that we are the greatest nation under god. Thats why we've got the Rugby World Cup
