I don’t want to be tagged as pro French NOR do I want to be tagged as anti French.
In my 34 years, I’ve been to France about 25 or so times, mostly when living in England. I’ve never met a French person that I didn’t like, on the contrary, I’ve found the French people to be very happy and welcoming.
NOTE: I’ve met MANY French Canadians who I didn’t like, but that’s not the topic.
Living on the absolute southernmost island in England, it is only 4 hours to France by ferry.
It is now assumed by SOME, that Brits don’t like the French. Why would the British be seen as people who don’t like the French?
Is it the same as Americans not liking the French because they wouldn’t fight with American’s in Iraq?
Secondly, if they didn’t WANT to fight alongside of British or American troops, why would they be disliked?
