I agree, Melissa, that many British people are prejudiced against the French, and some of this may date back to our many past wars against France. Personally, I have been going to France on holiday for many, many years, and I find the French people like every other nationality - some people are nice and considerate; some are rude and arrogant (and sometimes the same person is pleasant one day, but not the next!). On the other hand, the French don't always think too highly of the British, n'est ce pas?
