Have they parked a lot of lorries in the entrance yet..?

Of course not, they'll have parked them on major motorways and blockaded the channel tunnel.

I very much doubt it - it is far too much fun, besides I am sure it would be reciprocated!

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... its a frenchman?

Can we stop with the stereotyping / racism now please folks?

Good grief...I thought it was light hearted humour, its important to be able to differentiate....

Probably best you dont read the Friday jokes thread....

I feel any jibs towards the French will not be upset them to much, after all who has the better roads/public transport system/ life work balance/food etc etc and I nearly forgot Caves.  :tease:

In some ways based on the willingness to protest to maintain the way of life (not the caves of course).

For many years worked for a Co. with both French & German offices. The French called us "Rost Bief", the Germans "Island Apes". We of course reciprocated in the usual manner & much fun & good humour was enjoyed by all.
Unfortunately our society now seems to to have been pervaded by a grey & humourless attitude, where such banter is tantamount to illegal. :(
