To calm things down :
First of all :
this a british poll done in U.K.
It's Not an international poll in ANY WAYYou have to realize that British are of course, like in every kind of poll like this, the average country so like it is said in the poll
brits are nowhere nor bad not good. Of course because they are judging themselves. It would be the same probably in France. In a poll you are yourself the reference and this by definition.
Traditions are different nevertheless between countries. So very often I could say I find people form other country rude, unpolite etc.... it's easy. What can I say from people of kazakstan. Nothing I don't know them !
But what can I say about
my brother making so much noise. Plenty of bad things, specially if it's in his room that I spend the most of the time outside of mine - France is the favorite country for british for real estate outside U.K. and is one of the
favorite places to go for hollydays just after SpainYou can get the actual information from the
International Passenger Survey - UKYou have also to consider that french people are probably the most well known country by british, the closest one and of course the one with the most of history to share.People in United States thinks sometimes they are, but it isn't. Even some brits think they will feel like fish in water in United States. It's wrong, it 's just a matter of
sharing the same language stuff. But generally Germans, English and French working together in the USA fit well together as a "european group".
To come back to this poll and how it has been used by newspaper, French and English have been a long time fighting together (
with or
against others) . It's traditional.
It's also traditional as an english "newspaper sport" to insult french and put this in first page because they perfectly know that it 's easy to get many newspapers sold with this kind of crap (I call that
crap specially when they transform the truth of a poll)
It's very funny to see how this false poll is copied and [
copied again across the world Here!]
Even me , I feel ashamed to have Google Ads along this page when you read this. So just to be and feel honest DO NOT CLICK on ads besides if you are coming for reading THIS - MY text.
Foot Note :Every 5 years you can see this kind of insults from one side or the other of the French channel ;-)
