EVERYONE in the world resent the British.

 

(BTW, I hate the word "Brit", as do many people over here)

Build Hadrian's Wall to keep the Scots at bay?

Definitely .

Think it's worth pointing out that "Brit" first came to prominence as a derogatory term for the British Army in Ulster during the "Troubles". That is why it tends to put some people's backs up, mine included.

I'm not British I am English (albeit with a British passport) - and I have lived in NL long enough to be categorised as neither Dutch nor British. I am a yourpeen (G.W.B.jr drawl).

 

But anyway the British do not really exist unless there would be a British soccer team (i.s.o. Welsh, English, Scottish, Cornish & Ulster etc.) But this would reduce the chance of winning/losing the world soccer championship substantially - at least if this is a statistical process. Moreover I guess the (dis)UK contribution to the Eurovision songfestival does not count as an event that causes national (British) pride.

 

But I disgress, it will be launched in France because of the quality of their canapes (& bubbly wine). This is the foie-gras versus fish'nchip/bratwurst factor.

We Americans really don't have any historical justification for blaming the French for anything, but we often do just for the heck of it.

 

Ah, you poor Americans, - you don't have a history of your own..!

[caparobertsan]

To me French are cool, Leica = Cool= French. Simple

I am still trying to work out how by opening a can of worms you get egg all over your face (see earlier in this thread). Worms don't lay eggs AFAIK.

That's a pity. I thought it was a great mixed metaphor!

Might be a matter of good taste :-) and a fashion statement to boot :-)
