I used to work for a large corporation in the US that was owned by the Brits. Visiting America was very popular for the Brits. Nearly any reason was good enough to visit our site. Needless to say we had Englishmen on the site routinely.
An inside joke was that the three things our English friends needed upon arrival in the states was a bath, a toothbrush and a tailor. With good reason.

The French might try what the Spaniards did in the 70's. There were ads on tv and on posters urging the natives to use their deodorant. The one I recall showed a young fellow on a bus, making progress in hitting on a pretty miss until he raised his arm to grab the strap. She was instantly repelled by his odor. The message was clear.

Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, hee, hee, arghhhhhhh! Has anyone ever smelled a French tourist? Talk about the post calling the kettle black!

I was at the grocery store this morning, and I saw a woman who was about 5'1" and 300pounds, proudly strutting down aisle 10 in spandex bike shorts.
You only THINK those were spandex bike shorts. Really, they are one-size-fits-most loosefit knit boxer shorts in size medium. She probably wouldn't have the strength to get spandex shorts pulled up past her knees. Sorry for the mental pictures all this may be creating!

Maybe he could the problem of fat people in SPANDEX next???Add to that...
Fat girls in hip hugger jeans
Old f*rts in Bermuda shorts, over-the-calf black socks, and wingtip shoes.
Balding men with combovers
People with a face full of piercings
Men with ponytails
Women with twelve earrings in each ear

Anyone who has spent anytime in a French Village will wonder how the smelly tourist was ever sniffed out, considering the Texas feed lot, in mid July aroma, that permeates your average French Village in all seasons.

I worked in London during a very hot summer. Us Yanks used to say that the only thing Brits ever put under their arms was an umbrella :-)
My visits to France were no better.
Are Americans the only ones who know about baths, showers and deodorant?

He says tourists stinking of sweat and suntan lotion put him off his food and wine as they pass the terrace of his favourite restaurant. What a joke! The french mostly all stink, and seldom bathe.
That plus so many people smoke, that who can taste the food there anyway?

Hey, that is one way to get rid of the middle-east crowd!LOL

Spandex should have a weight limit.
And if a frenchman complains about B O they must really be ripe.
