I may as well have been attempting to speak to him in some obscure Chinese dialect than in French, but maybe he was just having a bad day! But apart from him, I absolutely love the French. 😊 P.S. I did study French to advanced level for six years at school, but that was a long time ago. So I can admit that my French is rusty, but I didn't think it was incomprehensible.

Now I know the same is true the other way around. I know English people who've moved to France, and who were helped out by locals when they needed help with understanding how to do something. Glad to hear they were looked after and treated right in Britain. For old enemies, you've turned out to be remarkably good friends. I agree with the sentiment about Britain and British things being in Britain and France and French things being in France. It's important each of our cultures survive, both have contributed vastly to human advancement, both must be encouraged to continue developing according to the wants and whims of our respective peoples. So that can continue. Leaving the EU was (for me) in part about that. Not about disliking anything French or German, completely the opposite. I recently visited Berlin (30 years later) and was disappointed by how much of my culture and language was everywhere. Berlin should be German, a bit of England/English mixed in is one thing, but in places there was as much England/English as there is in London. Didn't seem right to me. I loved (just as much as I did 30 years ago) Berlin, but it could have done with having less of my ways and language in it.

As a Brit I absolutely love France. I will visit there over every other place in the world. I love Provence but this summer I went to Deauville. It’s great experiencing and learning about the country more. We will always be only 30 miles (sorry, 40 km) away.

As a Scot, we’ve always had a soft spot for the French! They’ve shaped so much of our culture here in Scotland (and the UK as a whole), and honestly, I’d stand with France for the pastries alone-proper French patisserie is truly second to none. This is the hill I’m prepared to die on! 🤣 You might hear the occasional cheeky joke down in England about 'The French,' but please don’t mistake our British sense of humour for disdain-we mock what we hold dear. The French have played such an important role in our shared history that a bit of friendly teasing just shows how much we value the connection.

Things I like about England: efficiency, slim bureaucracy, beer, the atmosphere you get in pubs, the banter you get in sports, very friendly shop assistants, the countryside full of wild blackberries and apples, cream tea, the beaches in the south west. Also the weather isn’t bad, a bit rainy, but the sun also comes out quite often, it never gets too cold like Scandinavia or Germany.

France is an extremely beautiful country too. The food and wine are great, and the local cultures are preserved well in many areas. Aside from some issues in one city - Paris - I have otherwise found all French people very friendly and welcoming, and some were also patient enough to help to correct my errors in French, which I appreciated (if nobody tells you, it is harder to learn). Of course, being English, I take the p... out of the French - it is my obligation to do that - but frankly, most Brits do not insult their enemies, they are not worth the effort. Only friends are worthy victims of well-constructed insult!

Like most siblings, the rivalries of our formative years (colonialism) have been put behind us and we have entered a far more caring stage with the wisdom of older age. Also like many siblings, it was probably that time when a bully started on our sister (WW1/WW2) that we got that sense of "we are the only one that gets to pick on her", then promptly steped in to defend her. It reminded us both that, despite the squabling and bickering, we do care really ... well, at least sometimes 😜🤭 🇨🇵❤🇬🇧

Lovely video. I have often had to explain to English people that the vast majority of French (Germans too) are surprisingly very pro-English, and pro-British. The animosity comes from the European centralist or liberal political class, many of whom became more truculent after the Brexit vote. I am still waiting to meet a French or German I did not get on well with, and have met hundreds, and visited both countries..... great times. Mind you, I think the Europeans are being told everything has collapsed since Brexit. Actually, it was the Tory government, Covid policies, and some other issues that have hurt our economy most. And viewing the news in European countries, they are having similar problems caused by the same kind of politicians. IMHO
