I remember being in a pub in Brighton (Fiddler's Elbow I think), watching BBC news back when the Chunnel first opened. The BBC reporter was in another pub asking the locals what they thought about being connected directly to France. The locals said they didn't like it. When asked why they don't like France, one of the locals said, "Oh, we love France, it's the French we can't stand!"

I still laugh about that one! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
