The French

I always suspected they were a little jealous
I was just thinking today about how the british should have sent Princess Elizabeth over after they had liberated France and made her head of state

[Graham-W]

Excellent publicity for the town of Angers. I'm going to that area in September. May just call in to wind the damn frenchies up a bit, don't cha know.

[NOX]

Fabulous, I needed a good laugh.

[Ric.ror]

tell them there is a petition to have them pay for the liberation

[vulcan]

we paid in full on D day.

[Graham-W]

And another petition for the return of Calais to British hands. It used to be ours along with a lot of other land.

[jomifl]

That was just a bit of French royalty infighting. Our current queen is German.

[Ric.ror]

The queen could go over for a visit - and have an official dinner at the British Embassy decked out in every diamond shes got with rings on her fingers and toes and Kate wearing any spare

[jno]

they could have taken Richard Lionheart back any time. Spent about 6 months of his 10-year reign in England, taxed it to the hilt to pay for his foreign adventures (sound familiar?) and left it in the hands of John Softsword, who was even worse. When he was taken prisoner, apparently in a brothel in Vienna, it took two years' GDP to pay his ransom. Perhaps Angers would like to refund this?

[Ric.ror]

whenever I see the staue of Richard outside HOP I always think of the line he says in the 70's drama 'You can p!ss on England'
Sorry I cant remember the name but Brian Cox was Henry 2

[Graham-W]

jomifl. How many generations before you're English?
Elizabeth born in England as were her father, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandmother etc.
If anything she's more Danish than German/

[emmie]

merde comes to mind..

[jake-the-peg]

I can recommend a visit to the Cointreau factory at Angers

Like walking into a wall of oranges

[Ric.ror]

I also think she should wear them to the opening of the Olympics - in fact let them all have one on - I bet Charles has not worn the one he got for his investiture since
Maybe Kate could wear the little one that Victoria wore

[MoonRocker]

They've never forgiven us for saving there ar5ses, twice!

[tonyav]

Cheese munching, wine swigging surrender monkeys.

[venator]

Anyone would have been better than the pompous, vain buffoon who we nurtured during the war, then sent to them, then repaid us by keeping us out of the ground floor of the great European dream!

On second thoughts, perhaps he did us a favour...

Vive De Gaulle, chaps?

[Hopkirk]

I would agree to swap countries.

We could have the Mediterranean coast and all the wine, and the French could have our climate.

[MoonRocker]

then why don't you just go and live there hopkirk? you can have your wish!

[murraymints]

nous n'avons pas d'amour pour les francaises !!!

[whiskeryron]

How stupid never could stand 'em, anybody who eats snails legs want their heads looking at.
