# It's
on holiday. It's next to Jamaica now.

The real reason so many people hate the French is because they've got so many neighbours. If Scotland bordered France, goodness knows how much they'd despise each other.

They share a mutual hatred.

because they've never been able to border each other. Not for want of trying, mind.

# ahem...
FACT - more French died in WWII than Americans.

FACT - before WWII, public opinion in Britain was overwhelmingly against war and for appeasing Hitler.

# ha! good point

# Well...
...they didn't pull out, they just opposed it from the start.

I can't say that I think they did it for the right reasons, but I was opposed to the war from the start also.
