    Just been on holiday to rural France with very little French. Everyone was lovely, and although few people had much English either, we managed to get by fine just meeting in the middle.

    Anti French sentiment is stupid as hell.

      Yes. People in Paris can be a bit gruff, for the same reason people in New York can, it’s a massive city that gets the most tourists of anywhere in the whole world, there are constantly millions of things competing for attention. But IMO even there people are pretty nice if you make a little effort, and elsewhere they’re truly lovely.

        Y’know what? “Demographic bad” is too lazy and witless to count as a joke anymore. Build some complexity. Poke fun at current events. You think differently when it’s about you.
