not just style, food, alcohol, anything
why the permanent comparisons?
we would be better off comparing outselves to asimilar type of country say,... denmark or Norway

hmm, I find myself saying "Well in Germany...." rather a lot, I must admit.

But France is fab. And better than blighty in many ways. Have you just got an inferiority complex?

junkcollector · 25/11/2009 17:47

Wierd!!!!Are you a mind reader? Was just about to post something about a french wedding on that 'leave baby in a hotel room' thread but suddenly couldn't be bothered. (I hadn't seen your thread either)

french kissing is way better, for example.

duhh!
because most brits have only been to france or the canary isles.

BloodRedTulips · 25/11/2009 17:51

Dan, obviously if ye compared yourselves with Ireland you'd all get terribly depressed as everything is just so much better over here.

You get much better scumbags over here for instance.

And the goverments incompetance is far more impressive.

Don't forget how much better we are at eating shite food and growing arses the size of small carribean islands (but less fun to visit)

And we do rain much better than ye too, and have idiot drivers that put yours to shame.

The list just goes on and on...

DanDruff · 25/11/2009 17:51

DanDruff · 25/11/2009 17:53

We should try Canada, especially for style and beauty.
Wall to wall fleeces, noone really dresses up. My Mom looked like the Queen when she lived there, with her floaty Per Uun numbers.

cocolepew · 25/11/2009 17:54

Ireland has accordians
France has the accordian practically cousins
