French people...




This is how I always imagined a typical french person, with the beret, the baguette, the camembert (cheese) and obviously the french wine. But since I came in the UK, I had another version of how people imagined us, probably because the only way to see us was most of the time when the french people came here to deliver the onions. So instead of this picture, I found another one, unfortunatly the person is not smoking. The typical french man trying to speak english and delivering the onions on his bike, travelling everywhere in the UK.

Recently I had another image of how the British people were imagining us. This concerns mostly the french girls, and I understand why so many people want to go to France in hotels, they probably expect having girls like that...


...this is a new program that we can watch on youtube. I was quite surprised to watch this, when you listen carefully you can notice an english accent when they try to immitate a french girls speak english. I was wondering why would some english girls try to pretend to don't speak english very well like a french girl would do...would they be jealous of us ?! I wouldn't be surprised....

Yes, this is certainly what my grandmother remembered, the Frenchman selling onions from his bike...and always wearing a blue and white striped shirt.
