I believe they speak very highly of you though.
The trouble with the French is, apart from being French is that they all cycle/wobble around on the wrong side of the road wearing black & white striped tops with onions round their necks, and they stink of garlic. It's all true! :biggrin:

Italy would probably be alright if they were to make up their minds what side of the road to drive on.

Nah, not Italy, got something against them.
Can always tell the Italians apart from the rest of people in Europe i find.

Yes, i have, actually.
They all came to see me;)

But seriously, no, i havent, i have met alot of French over the many many years ive been going there.
Its like this Arch, you have some food, say a certain cake, you dont like it. You say you dont like that cake and dont have it again. But, how do you know that if you try that cake, made by someone else, isnt going to be the best cake you have ever had?

Learn from me Arch;):biggrin:

Anyway, you dont question me not liking the Swiss. They do rip you off over there. £1.10 for a Mars Bar. Its 50p over here for a Mars Duo. So, going by that, i could get get 4 and abit Mars bars, for the price i would pay for one Mars BAR(notice the singular, not plural) that you would get over in Switzerland:angry:

But hang on, according to your cake analogy, you should keep trying the French, because you might be proved wrong?

I don't question you on the Swiss, because I've never been to Switzerland (unless you count Geneva airport), so I don't know what they are like. But I've generally liked the French people I've met.

Holland was nice, but all the cycle lanes and people on bikes mean you have to keep slowing down and stuff, and if you ride on the road then the car drivers get abit twitchy.
France was alright, but i dislike the French.
Germany was good, but i didnt like it enough to move there.
Luxembourg was nice, nice roads, good respect from motorists(only close overtakes were from people from Belgium)
Belgium i disliked because i got passed close by people from there when i was in Luxembourg. And also, where i went there, when it rained the roads were like riding on ice. Not so nice.
Switzerland was nice, nice roads, nice views, but the Swiss are mainly, idiots.
Chek Republic was alright, but some crazy drivers over there, roads were pretty bad aswell in some places. Wouldnt move there.

Did you go to Luxembourg twice or just felt like listing it twice?

No you muppet, i didnt list it twice, the reason i dislike the people from Belgium is because when i was in Luxembourg, the buggers past me close, and in Belgium, they have the slippy roads and crap road surfaces.

I've had one, that's not helped.
Really, i should go live somewhere in Europe, I've not decided where yet, not got a favourite part for cycling yet, alot of the places I've been to have been very nice.

I know a nice cafe in Amsterdam that would help you relax Joe...or have they changed the laws there yet?

I must say I did like to try the French, as well as the Sweedish & eastern european ladies at the college bars. The missus would kill me it I continued sampling though.
