Is France the rubbishest country in the world ever?

[Le Rosbif]

I agree that 90% of French wines are tulip and that 90% of restaurants in France are tulip. The top 10% are still among the world´s very best though. You just have to be able to pay for them.

90% of French wines SOLD IN THE UK.
We keep our good wines and export the rubbish.
So far it was good enough for you.
I agree we need to improve the quality of the export.

But we still rather like to drink most of our wine rather than waste it though exports so that tasteless pudding eaters can get pissed

I've met lots of lovely French people but none of them were in Paris. I think our attitudes are shaped by Parisiens - in the same way that our view of London is shaped by travelling on the Tube with a bunch of miserable, rude buggers.

Each French person has twice as much space as an English person.

They stink so much, they need it.

In Paris, the underground smelled like really bad BO

I liked Paris actually... I didn't come across any horrible French people either.

Their films are an hour longer than they need to be.

So they are an hour long?

Things I envy about France - their train system, their wines, their footballers (eg Cantona, Henry, Zidane), their national anthem, their cars (for day to day driving), their mountains.

Not a great fan of their popular music though.

Yes I did... maybe I just got lucky!

Stinky yes, horrible... not so much.

Ahem, let's stick to the facts

I smashed up the barrier at a Paris metro station. Bloody stupid double barriers first bruised Mrs Tester’s ribs then jammed me in with two suitcases. In a rush for the train, I dropped my shoulder and rammed the bloody things; there was a loud clunk, one barrier opened and the other came off it’s hinge and off I went. A couple of fat chaps standing the other side applauded; perhaps they were front row forwards from the south who approved of my intolerance of Parisian officialdom.
