UK.iMaZiR

Lol. I take it you are English then? HAHA. You know, you shouldn’t really be making up reasons for the French, stupid. I’m quite sure they have better reasons than that. Like the fact that English people don’t have the same accent lol. It’s stupid. And the English only hate the French too because they get to have sex a lot more since the French actually have good-looking people who live there haha. Why do you think when you go to a French restaurant it takes the waiter ages to bring back your drink? Because he’s putting a little something special in there for you, since you English are always so arrogent. Every corner you turn in England has got a fat person there with bad dentistry! Plus the English are not very hygenic, exactly how often do you all change your knickers? Lol. I could go on forever, but unfortunatly I don’t want to receive RSI haha. See ya all later, English peasents! MWAH! xxx

lol thats pretty funny steph. possibly because its so true. im from ireland and all us irish cant stand the english. it would be interesting to see an english person respond to your comment lol.

“it would be interesting to see an english person respond to your comment lol.”

More interesting still to read comments from people who knew how to spell, use punctuation, present intelligent, non bigoted arguments & didn’t use “lol”.

Stop hating yourselves first, then work on your hatred for others.

Use some actual statistics and not your own opinion.

Because we eat fish and chips… YOU EAT SNAILS AND FROGS.

England don’t have good MID-WIFES would have been better. Doctors do different things, retard.

Rain is fantastic weather for growing potatoes. Why not make a scottish one? They rain more.

And we ARE the centre of the world, along with Portugal and other countries.

Read this and you’ll understand statistics are much more effective than opinion.

http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2007/why-we-hate-the-french-p1.php

The french hate the English because they wish they were everything the British are. Basically the centre of the world, and yet the UK has a smaller population than china, france, germany and the usa.

The french wanted the world to speak french, but they speak English. They wanted the world to be playing french bowls but they play football.

Italy has the best cuisine. France is the poor mans Italy.

normandy beach on the french coast
guess who is buried there and what they were doing and to end up as one of the 10,943 to be buried there
maybe we need new friends
enough said

The French hate the English for the same reasons as the Scots, Irish and Welsh. They are the neighbours from hell

English have bad teeth, they have mommy issues, they will eat anything just to save money, including last year’s leftovers. And the English are scruffy and generally are shallow and arrogant, and if you notice none of the got enough love as children, therefore they grow up as bitter, lost, and a lot of their mind is fairly uncreative, although they do love their encyclopedia brittanica, i think the enlish are boring bc they don’t get any sun. and you know what else too, i think all the men there are closet homosexuals. lol oh yeah aaaand London is the crappiest, most dull city i’ve EVER VISITED. PARIS WAS NICE THOUGH

English never have developed a civilistaion, they live in the gutter with no eductaion, drinking, taking drugs, stealing and abusng their children. The world would be a better place if the all ended up with the plague. No wonder they can only just function with Scots running their country!

Im English and there are two types of English in my opinion.Theres the creative interesting intelligent types[great music] that foreign people like and theres the thick,stupid,racist,angry,pea brained addicts[booze]who gives us a bad name.

‘No wonder they can only just function with Scots running their country’
Gordon Brown can’t run a country at all. He is a very weak man

I’m half-French, half-English… uh, not sure where I should stand on this. The doctor comment is funny though because the French are without a doubt the biggest hypochondriacs in the world… always at the doctor for this or that ailment. English doctors would tell you to go home and live with it on the other hand.At least in my experience :). On the other hand, the English are probably one of the more arrogant national identity, but in a better way than the yankies imo.

hi
p5u9rsf7v5u9ey1u
good luck

Simon is 100% correct there!
There are two differents types of english people so theres no need for people to base opinions and use stereotypes because no two people are the same in any country and like other people have said here it’s mostly down to opinion and generalisations. I Personally have no problem with the French, Irish or any other “UK” country. Infact i love them a lot more than England the scum to tend to ruin this country and its already haggarded reputation. The French have amazing culture and so do most other countries =].

I know France & the people very well & we are more alike than they would like to admit. Any comment about ‘The French’ or ‘The English’ will be a generalisation & there is good & bad in both, but Christ, they are difficult to make friends with.
It’s interesting that French people believe us to be arrogant, because having travelled widely, I think we are the most insecure people on the planet. The epitome of arrogance to me is the Gallic shrug, which generally means fuck off & go home you English fucking weasel.

1 reason why we like the French:
They are so impossible to like, that it make us laugh! XD

say what you like but most hatred is caused because people are too similar. Think about it… Catholics hate the Christians because of a slight ‘tweak’ in the way the christians changed the catholic religion. and the English hate the French because the French are arrogant… just like us. although i’m sure there are more reasons, i can’t be bothered to think

Erm…Catholics hate Christians? What are Catholics then?

Quick return to your reformation history books might be in order.

Does anyone else commenting not think that to generalize a whole nation of people in such a way is somewhat ignorant? And to claim a whole people as arrogant whilst in the same message imply you have more worth is what I would define as hypocritical. Not only are many of the messages above racist they show that it is not only England that is inhabited by a large number of idiots. Maybe you should ask what reason you personally have to hate a nation of people. Do any of you think of yourselves as civilized? The article is meant to be taken as a joke, I can’t sat the same for a lot of the comments above. It’s rather sad that people on this day and age think in that way.

I heard someone say the English have no culture? lol

the french hate the english because they cant stand the fact that it was the english, scottish, welsh etc that saved their country on 2 occasions in the last 100 years. it makes them uncomfortable and bitter. and before you suggest it. I AM NOT ENGLISH.

Hi Guys or Bonjour! As far as i know french are held a bit highly in my school. Why do we learn to speak french if most of are gonna go 2 somewhere like spain , or switzerland. There are a few reasons why the french and english hate eachother.One of the reasons is because in world war II. The french had a good fleet and they amde a deal with the english and said ‘if we call for aid you can help us.’, and Vice Versa. But When the English called for aid, The French ignored us because they where fighting the germans. And the english thought they were a threate becasue if the germans destroyed the french army they might take there shhips (a problem to the english), so they got aid from the americans to hlep them bomb the french ships , and that is why the the french hate us for killing their people.

It’s a shame that the french hate us and we hate them back. But I think that the french are pritty cool they just need 2 learn a few lessons like we do , and if the english can’t befriend the french , or vice versa then i think both countrys are in danger.

If it wasnt for the English the French would be speaking German right now. It is just increadible how the French have forgotten what the sons and daughters of England sacrificed for France in the war. The french are proving themselves to be backstabbing, ungreatful, cowards who surrender in battle. The world speaks English and Great Britain has contributed to far more progress in this world than France could even hope to have. This is why the French hate the English.

And Benjaman, who do you think you are fooling, you are not Engliish, you are French because that is not the english way to spell the name benjamin. You have spelled it Benjaman. That is why your comment is so pro French. Honestly you French are so manipulative and sneeky. You are an embarrasment to your country.

Let’s face it we all know that the French are a bunch of frog eating surrender monkeys. They have an inferiority complex towards the English because we have done everything better. The French are bullies and only pick fights with weaker people, but the first they are threatened by a stronger force they surrender then plead with the big boys for help….. WW1 & WW2 ??? Then after all that they have the cheek to moan!!! I am glad I was not born French; I wouldn’t be able to look at myself… Hang on maybe I would!!!! Because if I was French I would be two faced.

I’ve spent loads of time in Berlin and have found the french really nice, and i really love gouda and edam.
The french do make nice cheese.
as for history, if it was’nt for french then the chinese would have bombed pearl harbour and that would have bought Lichenstein into world war one, so thank god the french helped us.
The next time I’m in France i’m going to see Red square and the Trevi mountain and eat some saurkraut whilst wearing my clogs!!!

I’m french and it’s true The French people Hate English People And i’ts because of you
You’re purposes are nasty .
You are everybody than dolores ombrage in Harry potter it is that the ‘ french people ‘ think about you

REMEMBER THE RAINBOW WARRIOR.
THE FRENCH ARE TWO FACED, BACK STABBING COWARDS!!

THEY CANT DEFFEND THEMSELVES!

WEAK AND LAZY!

i recently went to paris with my girlfriend BAD MISTAKE !!! what a shit hole full ofarrogant skinny faced green teeth fucking french twats!!

To be fair Paris is a nice place full of historical buildings but fuck me how horrible are the french!! one miserable race that i would never go there again they are so rude its unbelieveable .
If your english give it a miss

Je serais sûrement la première ici à parler en français, et si vous ne comprenez pas, allez donc chercher un traducteur. Vous êtes pour la plupart tellement pitoyable à vous basez sur des préjugés. Et comme dit l’autre sous-merde de Leon \o/, une “horrible misérable”, non il n’y a pas de race plus horrible qu’une autre. Et je ne comprendrais jamais comment pouvoir avoir un Q.I aussi bas. Faire des généralités, c’est tellement pathétique. Je ne déteste pas les anglais, moi-même étant française, mais à vous lire certains point m’y pousserais. Allez donc vous acheter une personnalité au lieu de calquer la votre sur l’avis des premières personnes qui critiquent les français ou les anglais, bande de pâles copies que vous êtes. Ce ne sont que des aprioris non basés et/ou justifiés qui prouvent le manque de culture des uns et des autres. Apprenez à forger vos avis par vous-même.

Traduisez vous-même. Je ne me donnerais pas la peine d’écrire en anglais.

I am mostly english and scottish and I have to
agree about the french are rude. Also to say all english people are ugly is a flat out lie. I believe Kate Beckinsale was just named sexiest woman alive. Let’s see there is Elizabeth Hurley, Kate Moss, David Beckham, Kiera knightley (who is also english and scottish) just to name a few. By the way I was born with such nice teeth I have had people ask me if I wore braces because they are just too perfect. I am also 5′6 and only 115 lbs. Definately not fat. Never have been my whole life. And for all the Irish who hate the English. The most gorgeous man who I have ever seen had a english mom and a Irish dad. He looked just like micheal flatley only better. Would the scots and Irish rather have a neighbour like the Iranians or saudi’s who are very barbaric and uncivilized to say the least and hate freedom of any kind, including equality for woman. The english stand for freedom, woman’s rights and are a country based on christian values. Be careful what you wish for.

Eden, having read and translated your comment because I’m not an ignorant English guy who doesn’t understand a bit of French I can somewhat agree and disagree to an extent.

It was his experience so it isn’t totally ridiculous or pathetic for him to refer to is as horrible.

The French got rid of their royalty, got rid of their currency for the Euro, they are terrible with warfare and resent the fact English is a global lingua franca.
The English have kept their royalty, kept their currency, kept their identity and the French are resentful that we are not jumping on the same bandwagon because the French have made a mistake.

I live with French, German, Italians and English. Everyone has their flaws but the people that torment me mentally, physically and bully me are the French. I tire of French ideology and how you feel supreme in your culture of food and art. We had Shakespeare so smoke on that.

The only thing you have on us is that we went from supplying our own energy to converting to using French energy.

In conclusion I don’t hate France, I actually like France. I just ‘dislike’ the general French people who make me want to smash them in the face.

p.s. What kind of invention was the Renault for crying out loud?

The french hate us because they feel bitter we saved them in world war 2. Some French are the most arrogant barstards in the world. Yes England has its people that can be classed as scum, but so does every country. The French just have no bollocks whatsoever and are a bunch of cowards.

I’m Welsh and I hate the English and think the French are weird, ’nuff said.

It must be complete hell for the 250,000+ French people working in and around London if people on this site are to be believed. Imagine having to stay there surrounded by uncooth, ugly, unfriendly people who only ,”deserve to die of the plague” just so that you can have a job because you can’t get one in your own country!

I am English and I have lived in France since 1964

Yes there are differences, but different does not mean bad.
If you are adult enough you should be able to look beyond the differences

Happy New Year! Bonne Année!

Valerie

well i think the french hate the english nowadays just because they are doomed to learn english but they simply can’t ! it ’s difficcult for them to master it!

ive been to france a couple of times and ill never go back again there horrible people who hate the english because we bombed calais during the war so the germans couldnt invade england ive been reminded of it by the french when ive been there so now if a french person asks me directions in london i send them in the opposite direction

I think the true reason why the French dislike the
english is because when the english speak French,
it sounds like like they’ve been chewing not quite
dry cow chips and the French don’t like their
beautiful language mucked up.
OOOH, I can hear the reply already

SO VHAT ALREADY!!!!!

Salut, bon jour and hello, I’m english NZ Cook Islands from the pacific and In my word’s why would you start hating each other for many reasons. I find this defending, cruw, sad, shocking and surprising, come on, don’t talk rubbish like that to each others country alright!!. Why can’t you all stop being raisest and stop putting each other off this time aye. We all hate each other in this world, understand i mean where’s all that crap coming thats not good, everyone is diffrent and you all should know that. So stop comparing French and the English who is the the best and who’s not, stop teasing and be friends to each other. Don’t post anymore comment like that to this website thank you very much. I really think that the English and French are both nice people compared to your rubbish. This is really defending. Damit!!

Some of the comments above are shocking. I think the article was meant to be a joke, why are people being so nasty? I am English born but my dad’s side of the family is mainly French and I have never, ever known any hatred on either side. When I went to Paris for my 18th birthday every single French person I met was absolutely lovely and welcoming (except for one moody cow in a shop but isn’t that the case with most “customer services”?). Also, I have met a few French people in London and on nights out in my home town and they too were brilliant, where is all this racism coming from? On the other side, I detest all this English = bad teeth, arrogance, no culture, what utter bullshit. I would say go to any historic town, nature reserve or high street in England to find culture and beauty in the form of buildings, history, nature and people, just like in any country in the world, but I suspect the people making these vile comments know this already but have nothing else to hit out with. You can’t possibly judge an entire nation the way they do, unless you have the IQ of a turd? I find it laughable that our neighbours in the UK and Ireland are being racist about us, Ireland have bent over for the EU and the Scots have been running the UK for the past 12 years - and we’re now almost bankrupt. Yep, you’re soooo superior.

Im on both sides English and French, i respect them in full no lies. Full stop. End of story

I disagree the reasons you give to explain the hate beetween France and England (if there is a real hate, and not only a joke), but I will answer in French because English is not my native tongue.

Première (mauvaise) raison : Waterloo

Je ne vois pas en quoi le nom d’une défaite comme Waterloo nous choquerait ! Nous avons des siècles d’histoire commune, de victoires comme de défaites, et nos deux peuples savent s’accommoder de ces déboires depuis longtemps. D’ailleurs, le nom d’une tribune de fans de football à Liverpool ne porte-t-elle pas le nom d’une de vos défaites lors de la guerre des boers ? Vous êtes capables d’autodérision, nous aussi ! De plus, je ne pense pas que la gare d’Austerlitz choque qui que ce soit, soyons sérieux ! Bizarrement, et contrairement à ce que vous semblez penser, peu de gens en France sont fiers de l’Empire, et en tout cas pas du sang qui a coulé à cette époque.

Deuxième (bonne) raison : la royauté

C’est un peu vrai que la notion de royauté nous semble étrange dans son concept : style c’est moi et ma descendance qui dirige et qui dirigera toujours, mais bon, chacun fait comme il veut. Et puis, les anglais sans la royauté c’est un peu comme un thé sans tasse : ça ne fonctionne pas. Non, le truc qui nous semble réellement bizarre, c’est que trois pouilleux sont partis un beau matin de 1066 avec leurs épées rouillées sur des coquilles de noix, et sont revenus en disant qu’ils étaient devenus les nouveaux rois du monde et qu’il faudrait désormais compter avec eux et leur faire plein de courbettes. Ils ont pris les meilleures places de l’île, se foutent de la gueule des locaux depuis des siècles et pourtant sont toujours en place… et ça, c’est vrai, quelque part, ça me troue le cul

Troisième (mauvaise) raison : la cuisine

Alors ça, c’est des foutaises. On vous a dit un jour que la cuisine française était meilleure et vous suivez l’avis général sans remise en cause. La cuisine française est très snob et surtout hors de prix. Et l’Angleterre a fait d’énorme progrès, ce qui signifie qu’aujourd’hui on mange mieux et à moindre coût à Londres qu’à Paris. Le secret pour la cuisine (comme pour l’amour d’ailleurs) est d’apprécier ce que l’on fait et de vouloir partager, et là vous n’avez vraiment plus à rougir sur ce sujet.

Quatrième (mauvaise) raison : l’habitat de luxe

De riches anglais ont acheté des maisons ayant une histoire et les ont retapées en France ! Grand bien leur fasse ! Tant mieux, s’ils ont les moyens de le faire, où est le problème ? La France n’est pas une île, tant de peuples passent sur nos terres et si peu restent qu’on ne reconnaît un authentique Français qu’à sa qualité à dire : ‘J’aime cet endroit et j’ai envie de m’y installer’. Qu’il soit blanc, noir, vert ou jaune à petits pois, qu’il parle notre langue ou pas, on s’en fout. S’il a pensé ça, il mérite son lopin de terre par ici.

Cinquième (bonne) raison : la langue

C’est vrai que la langue anglaise gêne beaucoup de mes compatriotes, et le pire c’est que je ne vois pas pourquoi. Le Français est en grande partie une mauvaise interprétation du Latin, et l’Anglais est aussi en grande partie une mauvaise interprétation du Français. Donc je ne vois pas vraiment où se situe le problème.

Sixième et septième (mauvaises) raisons :
méridien de Greenwich et monnaie

Là, je pense qu’il s’agit plus d’une blague, donc je regroupe. Sinon les Anglais devraient en vouloir aux Amériques d’être aussi en avance de quelques heures, et personnellement je suis content de trouver un endroit où il y a autre chose que l’euro… J’adorais vos shillings et la Guinée aussi d’ailleurs, c’était vraiment très dépaysant, dommage que vous ayez renoncé.

Huitième (très mauvaise) raison : Ouch, problème épineux des filles mères

Je ne pense pas que les docteurs soient meilleurs en France qu’en Angleterre : regardez le Dr. House !!! Non, sérieusement, je passe à la question suivante parce que c’est vrai que c’est triste de voir ces filles qui ont un peu abusé de l’alcool au pub et qui se retrouvent avec un polichinelle dans le tiroir sans se rappeler la tronche de la commode. Et vraiment, les Français ne peuvent pas détester les Anglais pour ça, parce que c’est triste plutôt qu’autre chose et que nous avons tous un respect inné et profond pour nos mères, non ?

Neuvième ( ???) raison : Aéroports

Au niveau des aéroports, personnellement, je ne savais pas qu’il y en avait cinq à Londres, et je pense que mes compatriotes non plus. Donc on ne peut pas ne pas détester des gens sur des trucs qu’on ignore… faudrait que vous fassiez un peu de publicité sur ce sujet d’ailleurs, si vous avez 5 aéroports, dites-le ! Les gens du monde entier ont le droit de savoir !

Dixième (très bonne) raison : l’émigration

Alors là, bon courage… Nous on a abdiqué, on en a plein nos rues maintenant, de ces grandes gueules de Français. Mais vous, vous pouvez encore vous rebeller, faites quelque chose. Arrêtez de leur offrir gîtes et couverts, sinon ils viendront de plus en plus nombreux. Pour nous, c’est trop tard, on s’est déjà fait envahir, mais pour vous, rien n’est encore joué ! Restez vigilants !

Onzième (mauvaise) raison : les bus

Alors là, chapeau. S’il y a bien un truc qui me fait venir et revenir à Londres, c’est bien vos bus à l’impériale. Changez rien, surtout ! Monter à l’impériale et observer la ville de là haut, on se sent plus fort que Caprio dans Titanic. On peut pas vous en vouloir pour ça.

Douzième (très mauvaise) raison : l’humour

Je préfère une solide amitié avec un anglais plutôt qu’avec certains sudistes (de la France). Il vous fera certes bien moins de sourire, mais ne vous poignardera jamais dans le dos.

Treizième (mauvaise) raison : poissons et chips

Reprenez immédiatement vos traditions de tourtes (pies), elles sont excellentes et elles ne doivent surtout pas disparaître de la surface de la planète ! Gardez les pubs aussi, par pitié ! Il faudra inscrire tout ça à l’Unesco.

Quatorzième (mauvaise) raison : Sport

Généralement, les Anglais inventent les sports et les Français les exportent dans le reste du monde. On ne peut pas être ennemi là-dessus puisqu’on est complémentaires et qu’en plus on est les deux seuls peuples à savoir faire ça. Et puis, dans un sport, personne ne perd réellement quand on sait qu’il y aura toujours une revanche, c’est ce qui en fait le sel, non ? Imaginez un tournoi de rugby avec un seul match : Angleterre-Italie… A pleurer, non ?

Quinzième (mauvaise) raison : I’m the best

Heu… Je crois plutôt que ça s’applique aux Yankees ça, non ? Personnellement tous les Anglais que j’ai croisé étaient plutôt soucieux des autres et prévenants. C’était peut être valable au XIX siècle, mais aujourd’hui, je ne pense pas que ça soit le cas.

Seizième (mauvaise) raison : Ordinateurs

C’est plutôt toutes ces âneries venues de Seattle qui sont irritantes, non ? Vous n’avez jamais eu le message : ‘Nous venons de rencontrer une foutue erreur inattendue et nous sommes obligés de balancer tout votre travail à la poubelle’. Comme s’il y avait des erreurs attendues, connerie de machines !

Dix-septième (bonne) raison : Franglais

C’est vrai que ça fait ‘mode’ d’utiliser des mots anglais en France, et que ça irrite quelques académiciens tatillons par ici… Mais, désolé de vous décevoir, je crois que c’est plutôt une volonté de certains de copier les USA plutôt que les sujets de sa Majesté, donc on ne peut raisonnablement pas en vouloir aux Anglais pour ça.

Dix-huitième (très mauvaise) raison : le temps

On ne peut pas en vouloir à des gens en raison de leur climat ! C’est stupide, si on n’aime pas le temps anglais, on n’y va pas, c’est tout ! Et puis sinon votre industrie du parapluie s’effondrerait, et ça, ça serait un drame. Quelle horreur !

Dix-neuvième (bonne) raison : voitures

Le jour où je pourrais me payer une Rolls ou une Jag’, je répondrais à cette fichue bonne question.

Dernière (ridicule) raison : Haine du Français

Je ne suis pas sûr que les Anglais détestent les Françaises, ni que les Anglaises haïssent les Français… Après, je peux me tromper, bien sûr. Mais mon expérience personnelle me rend assez serein sur ce thème…

Did anyone catch any of that?
Re: Culture. The French prefer their culture pickled in aspic. They are selling the same culture now as they were back in the 1930s. Are they afraid of progress? Having said that there is room in the world for a country with a retrospective national identity.

Because they build bad cars?
Are you kidding? Some of the greatest cars ever produced have come about because of the British Automotive industry.
This article sum’s up the arrogance of the French, I’ve been to France once, and never, ever, will i go back, Ignorant people, Overpriced food and drink and Paris is a hole.

Horrible set of people them their french bitches. Ungrateful set aint they? We are the reason they even still use that secondary language they call french.

White flag waving surrender monkeys should bow to us all in gratitude of what our forefathers did for them.

Also, Charles De whatever his names airport, Nobody else care. Shittest airport in the world, horrible arrogant staff from check in to duty free.

When I think French, the first thing that comes into my head is ‘poncy coward.’

Je rajouterai une autre raison:

la presse anglaise:
je ne peux croire que des journaux qui sont soi-disant sérieux puissent publier un article tel que ” 30 reasons to hate the french”: The telegraph par exemple.
Complètement débile: en tout cas, nous sommes peut-être tout ce que les anglais détestent mais nos journaux ne se permettraient pas de critiquer DE CETTE MANIERE les anglais.
Ce n’est pas du tout professionnel et “fair play” de la part des Anglais. Mais le sont-ils vraiment, fairplay?

I’ve travelled to Ireland and England and the difference is enormous between English people and Irish people
tHe irish is really nice,open minded, honest… whereas the english is not nice: he’s really distant, seems to be really haughty, irrespectfull.When he notices you’re french, it’s worse. How can we be attracted by people who despise you and sometimes laugh at you??
I do not hate english people because fortunately I know good people from England but I think the english medias might be more respectfull and have moderated opinions towards us.

Liam, Paris is a capital so of course ,people are arrogant, people have no time to be nice…
EVERYBODY hates Paris even french people from other regions…
So please stop giving ALWAYS the same example!!
Paris!Paris!!France is not Paris….England is not London FORTUNATELY…
Ahhh do you know that lots of countries hate England??Are you sure you enjoy your own country?Or maybe you only love England…your wonderfull island?? So beautiful that a lot of english people buy houses in France…loooollll!!!

I will finish this comment by that:
FUCK OFF INTOLERANT PEOPLE!!

Unfortunately the French do hate the British. I have also recently visited Paris, such an amazing city with stunning architecture. But the people, Oh my God, they are appalling. You can almost feel the hatred coming from them as they mutter ‘anglaise’ under their breath when they discover you are English. Sorry if you are French and reading this, but you all seem to have one almighty chip on your’e shoulder regarding us British.

Another point I forgot to mention, someone French has suggested that Britain is full of ugly overweight people, well France and especially Paris is full of people looking like they are sucking lemons. They are not as well dressed and glamorous as they perceive themselves to be. They are better at keeping their weight in check, but their faces let them down.

Just a few points to clear up having lived in both England and France…
1. There isn’t anywhere near as much patriotism/nationalism in England than in lots of other countries where national identity is considered more important. (ie if it is ingrained in the state religion, or if the formation of the country itself was a political struggle) Which is fine of course. I’m just saying that you definitely have the wrong idea of the Uk if you think that most of it’s inhabitants are more than mildly patriotic.
The lingua franca thing is just because English is the ‘best’ language: FACT. I’m not saying the most poetic or the easiest to learn, but from what we can see from linguistics and more importantly by the global natural selection of language that it is the most adaptable/expressive/precise/understood form of communication in the world. Regardless of which group of people first started using it, it is what most of the world will be speaking in 100 years. But who knows in 1000 it could be as a dead as Latin.

I hate some English people, I love others. I hate some French People, I love others. Let’s get real people… where you’re born doesn’t determine who you are. All that it does do is give you cultural baggage that.
So if anyone really does hate any nation because of something similar to any one of these ridiculous points then I’d have to conclude that they don’t even want you there anyway. So throw away your passport and live in whichever country you where born in for the rest of your life because I’ll save you the time and money now by saying if unfamiliarity frightens rather than excites you then to use a well coined phrase… go back to your own fucking country.

P.s And finally…Nobody, I repeat NOBODY calls a chip a french fry in England. It is an Americanism that would only ever be used to differentiate between the style that McDonalds serve and the ones which most people there actually like and eat.

And also… anyone who thinks the original article should be passed off as a lighthearted joke then you are truly mistaken.
It’s this kind of base homour from uncultured idiots that gives rise to these innacurate stereotypes and the racism that follows.
Fuck them, we can live in the world.. they can live at home.

The reason why the English hate the French and the French hate the English is very simple.

Because we can.

I mostly support the french there.
apart from no night busses , the french not learning english so much .
french food is better than english food by far.

but as to say both english and french culture
is good and enjoyable.
no hate is needed.

the english people are fuckin uglys!!!

hahahaha. WE make bad cars. have you watched topgear. aston martin, jaguar, bently, rolls royce, TVR (well not anymore), lotus, mclaren compared to your citreon, renault and peugoet which are all boring drizzle

(Keith on 22 October 2009) soooooo true…. and sooo funny lol
The French, hahaha…, they have no culture but il be fair to them because i am a person who always supports the truth.

They are the best looking people on earth, men and women alike, they’v got killer looks, and to be fair they really do have better sex life’s than the English.

but on the other-side, the crap of the French people have no measurability. They are a REPUBLIC!!!! bhahahaha basically what that means is letting the Americans run the country and become big time American kiss arse twats as if that is normal!!! Every French owes so much money to the American government even today, coz if it wasn’t for them and us, Hitler would still be shouting “nine nine ziz car iz too noi-zy zurn is za-wuna” under the eiffle tower.

Did i mention the love they have for the Americans…. The French 90% of them are now learning American English, just to piss us off lol
If u go to Paris and speak in English ul understand that the French are just a bunch of “wannabe” Americans as they call them in America. This shows their pathetic extent of loyalty towards the European culture and pride.

and yes, they have no culture or currency or monarch or even civilized politics for that matter.
All they know is to strike even if a coffee accidentally spills down on a worker. The English on the other hand are real hard workers. All these contribute to why they hate us so much, coz their country is so venial the’ll just bend over to any big swagger coz they haven’t got the guts to fight them, and they have the audacity and the ungratefulness to pick fights with small powers.

Basically Its a love hate relationship. The French do love us a little, after all… when all them little babies were stranded with no help but to surrender to the big shots, our men and women and even children were there to take arms and save their lazy scorn sorry baby butts but they are just too proud to admit it!!

I never cease to be amazed at the English being proud of their rain. I have bad news for those who are so proud. Read this slowly!!! It rains more in Paris than it does in London. You can check this on the internet, but if you have been to Paris, you will remember that it rained most days when you were there. Another reason the French hated the English was explained by my then wife to my parents when she first met them. It seems the French bore a grudge because the English weren’t grateful enough after they were liberated by the French resistance and the USA during World War II. My parents lived through WWII and their expressions when they heard this will be forever in my mind. Incidentally, people at home in France can’t cook, but it is cheaper to go out and eat in restaurants there.
Nowadays, I don’t think the younger generation has anything against the English and fortunately historical differences are regarded as just that and are fading away.

Being Irish I can say without remorse that the English have always been, are now and will forever be, the biggest assholes the world has ever know. All of the problems in the world today can be attributed to them and their anglo asswipe American friends. So full of themslves it’s sick.

Haha the conflict between your countries is SO evident in the comments of this post its hilarious… oh and just so everybody knows, I am the center of the world and that is the end. I still do wonder why french people hate americans(my country, besides mexico) and british, after all they ddid save their hides in WW2

I am English, but i have a french name (orginally spelt with a dash on the “E” & two dots on the “I”) I learn french at school, I like french food, I think french people are very nice as long as you respect them as well as their culture and I am completly infatuated with France. BUT at the same time I love England, I was born there, I currently live there, England has some of the best T.V shows of ALL TIME, some great talent and itelligence least but not least least I am proud to call myself British.
So what really upsets me is that the people of my two favourite places (which at one piont were the same peice of earth) are argueing so violently over such pety things such how much it rains or wether they have good enough doctors! I wish one day to live in Paris but it seems so far away seeing as the English and French cannot even speak civily to each - I just damn hope one day everyone can get along so we can enjoy both of these wonderfulcountries….
I’m also Half Irish - so when you talk about hating the English your are also talking about Hating some of your own people

Does France still make the best wine? Not if you go by the infamous Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, when an English wine merchant organised a “blind” tasting before a jury of French experts. To their horror, they rated Californian wines as winners in both the red and white wine categories. The French press first denied any tasting had happened, then claimed the results were fixed.

lmfao screw the french and ther arrogant opinions, plus y do we get so angry wen these tards slag us off, honestly ther sad.

I’m English and would like to add my comments (without lol’s, smiley faces and appalling grammar/spelling etc)
The French dislike of the English is due to their gerneral feeling of jealousy and envy toward the Engilsh.
They would prefer the world to speak French and not English.
They would prefer their radio stations not to play 50% English/American music. When was the last time anyone heard a French song on the radio over here or the USA?
They hate the idea that the English/Americans saved them from German oppression - twice!

Second rate nations all over the world hate their more successful neighbours, even though the “hated ones” have no real issues or opinions vice versa.
Canadians hate Americans for example but the average American doesn’t care either way - he just accepts them.
The French hate for the English will never die so we should all just accept it and move on.
The option is clear - if you don’t like the way the French view us don’t go there. It’s really simple.

Its nice to see everyone slagging us English off as usual including scots and welsh and i wonder why. Is it because if history has anything to go by we have punched way above are weight for centuries while most of your meaningless countries or Klingon’s as i like to call them (Scottish,welsh) have basically been ruled by us. Buts lets not forget Scots and welsh that you need us alot more then we need you.Personally i would be quite happy to give you independence that you seek as you would soon realise you have nothing of value to offer the world. You are propped up by London so i think its time you stopped biting the hand that feeds you. As for the French all i can say is what a bunch of ungrateful toads. Twice we have gone to there aid and thousands died in there fields trying to protect there freedom and there is no thanks whatsoever in fact there is such respect that they graffiti the graves of dead soldiers so any french reading this i hope your very proud.Also i think for the French to question the English personal hygiene is quite laughable really. I can honestly say and i am quite well travelled they are definitely right up there for smelly wretches. Last time i went to Paris i couldn’t look at the attractions because i was to busy looking at the floor trying to avoid the dog shit everywhere. I would like to finish with a story of my last trip there. I went with some colleagues on a battlefield tour trip. One evening we were walking back from a bar across a market square and some french men hurled abuse at us and threw bricks at us for doing absolutely nothing. We confronted them and they denied it with big smiles on there faces. We gave them a good old English beating. Cowards

As someone who has been living in France for the past 10 years, with a French husband and a French famly in law, I am surprised to read that, first because I wasn’t aware that xenophobia was so strong in Britain !
Second because, very honestly, the French don’t care enough about the English to “hate” them! Believe me or not, but the French see England and its people as a country among (many) others, and I never heard/read anything about “The English” here, but as a regular reader of the british press, I see a LOT of articles about the French. It is weird and a bit pathetic to say the least.

As a foreigner, from Asia, who travels a lot in Europe, the French are much more polite, decent, respectful and civilized than the English, but it is not very hard to outdo the English in those fields. Yes I know, there is world between the way you English see yourself and the way the rest of the world sees you, and what you are. My thought is that you have not digested 1066 and the fact that your country was the property of French dukes during centuries. Get a life and get some education. Oh and no, Britain is no longer a super power, stop living in the past : )
cheers : )
