Mais j'aime la belle France! The French are having a difficult time at the moment in the States and should be an easy target there which you can exploit. They did not support the war in Iraqistan and they should have, as they still owed the US because of D day. Hence no one in America is drinking Champagne. In public.
So let us see, what can we say to put down the French? In 1812, they attacked Russia, but some Americans may see that as positive! They invaded Vietnam and made a pig's bollocks of that"but again some may think "There just like us". They killed a million Muslims in Algeria but, no, we want negative don't we? Sinking the Greenpeace boat".no, this is harder than I thought.
Scotland and France have been allies for centuries and despite France's often lunatic nature and the fact that there are more outright Nazis in France than in Germany, I love the country. It's maybe the Canadian influence where you learn French (and how unpredictable they are) from grade 1. Maybe it is because they are the target of the "Sun" so called "news" paper "Hop off you Frogs".
So I would ask which country gave them support during the struggle for independence and who gave them the Statue of Liberty?
Tell them you hate the Irish as well.
But you are part Irish! Yes, but Ireland is annoying because it means Scotland is not so unique. Think about it. Small country, huge literary tradition, dancing, pipes, music, songs etc. etc. Trampled over by a powerful neighbour. Sound like anywhere else?
