Here are the Top 20 Reasons why the English hate the French:
1. Because they’re aggressive
Wars fought against France since 1066: 35. English have won 23; they’ve won 11. Mutual defeats: 1 (American War of Independence).
2. Because they don’t like England favorite meal ‘Fish and Chips’They prefer their foul-smelling ‘camembert’ and ‘bleu’.
3. Because they believe that their Eiffel Tower is more beautiful than our Big Ben
But the Eiffel Tower is useless; thanks to Big Ben we don’t need a watch.
4. Because they have a bad English accent
People from Germany and the Netherlands have a better accent.
5. Because they make love more than anyone else
On average, that’s 137 times a year; we only manage 119 times.

DCR-(Dan) that is a relly good question, perhaps the history buffs in my readership could shine some light on that for us. Or Perhaps Salem can as he is the originator of the list.

Yes, Salem needs to shine some light on this. Washington planned the Revolutionary War with Rochambeau and Lafayette at Mount Vernon during 1781. The French marched and fought alogside Washington’s troops

I wonder if they’re thinking in terms of the French Revolution?
During the American Revolution, the French helped us. Since we won, the French “defeated” the British.
Then, six years after the Treaty of Paris, the French Revolution began. If one views that as an extension of the American Revolution, I guess it could be considered a wash, since the French aristocracy that helped the U.S. was the losing side.
Still, I would regard the French Revolution as separate from the American Revolution. The loss of the American colonies was a definite loss for the British. But, even after the French Revolution, there was a long history of friendly relations between the U.S. and France.
