All aspects of French origin is regarded with suspicion ...I've been blessed (or cursed) with a grandmother who was born in Paris.
I still cannot figure this nation out..the English have always been reserved in praises of the French...it's very peculiar...they live close enough but are poles apart...like the Poles,Ukranians,Georgians and the Russians but very different, in fact even more so.
The pommy is mundane,boring and dull and regular...the French the opposite.
SA amongst the Afrikaaners has it's fair share...the Du Plessis's,De Villiers,Du Preez,Jouberts and many others...Huguenot families that really stand out in sport and other achievements.
Churchill had a great admiration for the French...he saw the courage of the Resistant movement as a strong catalist in WW2 victory and this is very accurate and true.
When it comes to food,music,taste and physical love they take the honours but it is sport that takes my interest...rugby,tennis and soccer...erm..Brigitte Bardot...probably the se xiest woman ever
When it comes to rugby...it baffles too...there is no middle road...it's either brilliant or useless.
I see we have a French forum member now...don't chase him away like Tomas Lavanini
