tony, let's rip on the French, they deserve it.

They have a desperate desire to be geopolitically relevant--their little egos got CRUSHED by the Franco-Prussian War.

I mean, they planted trees on the Paris boulevards so the Germans could march in the shade...

I cant rip on the French its just that unlike many here I know why the Battle of France went the way it did.

I guess if I have one reason to hate the French it is because they got involved in one of are colonial wars I wont mention the colony it is not that important.

They massed troops and ships on there coast forcing us to deploy are best troops in Britain, they used the French fleet to stop us outflanking the colonial army.

Any way an ally is an ally

Cheers Tony
