] Date Posted: 14:58:16 11/26/04 Fri In reply to: Ed Harris (Venezia) 's message, "I didn't see that..." on 14:30:27 11/26/04 Fri Settle in each other's countries? I think not. The South of France is practically a British colony, but how many French people think, "I know, I'll retire to Scunthorpe or Bognor Regis?" Not many, I should think. It's one-way traffic, really. Their fault for having better weather. Mind you, I don't know if you've been to Leicester Square recently (for your sake I hope not!), but the last few times I've been trying to get from the club in Pall Mall to China Town to get some crispy duck (sorry, but have to justify the social faux pas of being in Leics Sq.!), I haven't been able to move in Leicester Square for French school children. Perhaps this is what they mean by cultural exchange: they give us wine, food, sunshine, and pleasant little hill towns eparpillés in the Alps Maritimes... and we give them greasy burger bars, large cinemas showing crap films for £15 per ticket, embarassing street theatre, All Bar One and mangy looking pigeons.

Date Posted: 15:59:01 11/26/04 Fri Everytime I am in Edinburgh, I hear French voices. Either a lot of French people live there, or they are all tourists. It's frustrating you know - everytime French people come to visit me, they insist on visiting Edinburgh within about five minnutes of arriving. I feel it is my duty to take them their via Glasgow, if only to show that Scotland actually achieved something in the 19th Century. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
