    Especially as the British Army lost and ran away as soon as they saw the Germans coming. I suppose Dunkirk wasn't a surrender, but it wasn't much less embaressing.

    And the French fought pretty bravely compared to say, The Danes who surrendered in an hour and a half.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      If you read the history of Dunkirk, if Germany had focussed some effort there they could have taken an awful large amount of the British Army out.

      Thankfully they let the British escape and proceeded to Paris asap.

        Faced with this choice;

        - a weekend in Dover
        - a weekend in Paris

        What would YOU do?

            I'm sure she only visits the very finest STD clinics.
