The love story between the France and Britain.
It is well known “a dog and a cat” relations between French and English people.
English call French ones as a Frogs while the French call the British as a Rossbif.
I don’t know the origin for this behavior, but probably it came from the ages when France ruled in England. The hate was so huge that when the famous London fire happened in the 1666 year, French people were blamed for everything. On the statue reminding for the great fire, English people made a writing blaming French ones, but removed the writing couple of years later. (See the missing line on the following picture ?)
This weekend I was to a French party organaised by my Imperial friends. They are undergraduate students. As I though it to happen, it did; I was almost the only one who did not speak French and understood nothing.
Most of the people were from Paris while working in London. Somehow they prefer London and claim it to be cleaner city then Paris. The French nation is beautiful. One of the girls is working for television in a most strange job I have ever heard. She is watching BBC programs and makes summaries of a good ones, to duplicate them for a French market. Can anybody think of a better one ??? :)))
It took me two hours to get home by the night busses and still I don’t believe that French have invented the French kiss …. they seem to be a bit cold for that ….
