You have a great take on the relationship between the two countries. We have always been rivals going back many hundreds of years and we make fun of each other but that's just national pride and out sense of humour. I think we English/British will usually go out of our way to help people and I would be very surprised if French people would experience bad treatment here. I've been to France many times over the years and I also worked in Algeria so attempted to learn French as best I could but it's very bad and I could just 'get by'. One thing I think about the French (I might be wrong) is they just don't like it if people make no attempts at speaking French and automatically expect them to speak English, if people have ever had a bad experience in France I bet that's will be the cause. I think people should at least learn some basic phrases, numbers and things like that and also learn to say "sorry I don't speak French" and that would go a long way and not look arrogant to our French neighbours. I'm not sure that many French people understand that we're pretty bad at learning languages as a nation, I found the masculine/feminine and grammar extremely difficult.

I wouldn't say the entirety of France is closer to one country or the other. It just depends where you from. Saying we have ''nothing'' in common is false: language, some food, history , politics , etc.... Two country having ''nothing'' in common would be like Senegal and Thailand ?

The 40% figure is overblown tbh, we have kept and still use the Old English alternative words today depending upon the context. For example, money-fees (OE), colour-shade (OE), etc. We also loan words from many languages, not just French but English is still a Germanic language at its core.

French here. For my part, I went to London twice in the 90s and it is a truly exotic and fascinating city for a French person like me. The people didn't shock me and I found the English countryside really very pretty, rural, especially towns like Canterbury which I really liked. The city of London is huge in fact and much bigger than the small capital of France Paris. It's as if in Paris we had added all the suburbs. It's easy to get lost in London and there are several city centers. Driving in the car was a lot of fun, especially the roundabouts... The local gastronomy did not disappoint me like the mint sauce...even if I'm not a fan: I had heard about it and I was not deceived. At the time, I found the English girls really very pretty (I was in my twenties, eh?) and the people very polite. Now I am 57 years old and I will visit London and the English countryside again with great pleasure, and I will taste the local cuisine again, as soon as possible but I will just need a passport.

Regarding croissants, maybe 80% are industrial in bakeries made with premixed that aren’t so great, even the so called artisans. The the rest (20%), they have better ingredients and they are much better but you have to know where they are and for the quality difference, many will also go to the average ones. Going to high quality ones that have won prices will be the best even if you can still find great ones that have not won prices. And when you foins one, eventually, they sell out and change.

The flower is more processed than it is allowed in Europe, and some ingredients used to make yoga matts are done at Subway for instance but illegal in Europe. So... in France, Artisans can call themselves that provided they process the ingredients in the store, even if it's with powder for ice-cream and premix for bread. Premix for bread is better than what you can find in the Us and any bakery bread usually tastes better than grocery store bread although not always. And 80% of those bakeries will use premix so as to not get up at 3am. Premix will rise faster and stay "fresh" longer thanks to chemicals. You can sometimes have 6 bakeries in a small town and only one will be great, the others clearly industrial. You know that from having great bread and making your own. For those that have only known the Costco Bread (look at the list of ingredients!) or Giant Bread, or Food Lion or what ever, you will find all breads in France better and won't tell the difference between fake and real artisans. Also, 40 years ago, it was not the case. There were no premix and all breads in France were basically real artisans at the bakery, but it"s not the case anymore. Same goes for croissants where it is easy to see when they change owners and bakers without telling you. You can tell by the texture and taste of it. Some bakery will even see their breads delivered from who knows where at 6am in a sneaky way... Anyway, you can believe whatever you want. This is my story as a Frenchman who lived in many countries and over 50 and has seen the evolution of the food industry and can make his own breads (different recipes without bread machine).

My early memories of events in France were using a pissoir/urinal in Paris, a circular urinal with a half height screen around it where men faced the outside. I recall a man, who, with his unoccupied hand, raised his hat to a pretty mademoiselle passing by! C'est genial! My other is the terrible 'toilettes a la turque', or what we nicknamed 'squatty vous's'. No 'U' bends makes them stink and they are still being fitted in public toilets today. And I pity old people who cannot squat down, or worse, cannot get up afterwards!

We've always been rivals going back many hundreds of years and we make fun of each other but that's just national pride and out sense of humour. I think we English/British will usually go out of our way to help people and I would be very surprised if French people would experience bad treatment here. I've been to France many times over the years and I also worked in Algeria so attempted to learn French as best I could but it's very bad and I could just 'get by'. One thing I think about the French (I might be wrong) is they just don't like it if people make no attempts at speaking French and automatically expect them to speak English, if people have ever had a bad experience in France I bet that's will be the cause. I think people should at least learn some basic phrases, numbers and things like that and also learn to say "sorry I don't speak French" and that would go a long way and not look arrogant to our French neighbours. I'm not sure that many French people understand that we're pretty bad at learning languages as a nation, I found the masculine/feminine and grammar extremely difficult.

Been to France a few times. south, central and Paris. Lovely country. Some lovely people. It’s all just messed about by the Parisians who have their own outlook on things. Obviously their attitude to food and wine is to be respected. The classic beauty of central Paris was beautiful when I last visited in 2007 for the rugby World Cup was to be preserved, however I aware that they have a similar Islamic undercurrent as we have here in the U.K. as we could soon be a slum developing. The comedy has to be Allo Allo surely? Oh Mr. Bean. Not for me. Then again no language problem I suppose. Roman Atkinson, certainly brilliant otherwise. I remember a cheese lunch whilst on a French painting holiday in Provence back in 2005. We had a really stunning English lady in charge of all food. All of it was memorable and stunning. What a peculiar world view person thinking we are all nice together. Has that guy ever travelled or studied history? Does he not see what is happening to Europe?

Obviously I hated the latest opening and closing event to the Olympics at your place, albeit I did not watch it. We had a very strange opening to the Commonwealth games in front of Prince Charles a couple of years back. It was like a worship to Baal. I don’t know how you see it over there, but the macabre figure of Macron is odd, and we now have a little puppet figure of a prime minister over here, it is very concerning for those of us who can see the signs so clearly. I am trying to encourage people to get on their knees and repent, just like the Jews did in the times of the prophets, to receive some grace from God, to release us from this rising threat of Islam. I’m sorry if that appears over the top, from your brief introduction, but I am strongly drawn to encourage Christians to pray against civil war, as that appears to be simmering as an undercurrent over here.
