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

I think you'll find that France has a cheating football team

dexter73 · 25/11/2009 17:57

BloodRedTulips · 25/11/2009 17:57

never been to scotland so can't comment but I've been in countries notorious for crazy drivers and felt safer than on Irish roads so i still think we'd win that one

JesusChristOtterStar · 25/11/2009 17:57

coco I was not comparing to france.....

JesusChristOtterStar · 25/11/2009 17:58

that was meant to be a rhetorical 'because' france is better

nighbynight · 25/11/2009 17:59

JCOS, try buying toys in germany, they are the best....well in GERMANY you see....

Francasaysrelax · 25/11/2009 17:59

Because they are on the other side of the channel?
Because of Napoleon?

Francasaysrelax · 25/11/2009 18:01

I don't want to cause a stir, but actually, Italy is obviously the best.

bibbitybobbityhat · 25/11/2009 18:01

The music sucks

cocolepew · 25/11/2009 18:04

I've sort of lost the plot of this thread.

I think Carlas' fashion sense is over rated though.

paisleyleaf · 25/11/2009 18:04

I'm on the south coast, so could well be nearer to France than I am to any of you.

posieparker · 25/11/2009 18:04

I love British people we are tolerant and delightful and very very funny, best sense of humour in the world..... but France is nicer, better food, lifestyle, wine, teens....

As is Italy, Denmark, Iceland, Finland(maybe not the food!), Norway, Holland etc etc

DanDruff · 25/11/2009 18:05

oh the teens are RUDE

try living in ANYWHERe with tourists

French food is rank. Hard baps and smelly cheese.

Lizzylou · 25/11/2009 18:06

Definitely to me, Paisley.
East Lancs seems very far removed from Paris, let me tell you.

DanDruff · 25/11/2009 18:07

no i think thats you describing yourself isnt it Coco?

French bureaucracy is a nightmare!! You can't get anything done quickly - it is a total headfuck!

mrsruffallo · 25/11/2009 18:08

The men are short and rude, that's for sure
Bad teeth too
