Apparently there is some debate going on in the Belgian press about how we in Britain are always trying to derail the Whole Europe Experience.
The Belgian newspaper La Capitale published a list of Dix raisons de ne pas aimer les Anglais
To be fair they also published a list of why they should love us as well.
My Belgian not being up to snuff as it were, I thought I’d let Babel-fish translate it for me.
No.8 is especially true and v.funny as well
10 Reasons Not To Love The English
Let us transfer the “Rosbifs” which flinguent the European chances of our political tenors! You like them, you, the English? These hinderers to make Europe in round? One could make as extremely as their tabloïds: ten good reasons not to like them!
Drafting on line
1. They are caught for the navel of the world.
2. Their language is universal. Therefore, they refuse to try to speak ours if they are lost on our premises (80% do not want to take a guide of conversation on holiday!)… but look you with condescension if you speak English badly.
3. They do not do anything like the others (to roll on the left, etc)
4. They makes the worst kitchen of the world…
5. They drink hot beer, to despair the least gifted of our brewers.
6. Truths addicted to drink! According to a study, the English consumed 8 alcoholic drinks per day during the holidays!
7. Their climate is rotted even more than ours.
8. Their tabloïds thinks only of the buttock and the scandals…
9. They wrongfully eliminated the Red Devils from the World cup 1990… One did not forget the goal, at the last second, of David Platt!
10. We did not forget either their hooligans, persons in charge of not died of 39 people, in Heysel, in 1985.
And yet, they are liked!
But rather than these meannesses, one prefers to retain all that one likes in England.
1. They flew to our help each time we were invaded.
2. They make the best music of world (Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc)
3. London, in Christmas: magic!
4. They (D) invented the foot and their competition is among most spectacular.
5. We have a very favorite for their Bobbies, bus and phone boxes.
6. Their monarchy imposes some, in spite of the scandals.
7. The landscapes of Highlands (Scotland) are of any beauty.
8. English gardens, a wonder.
9. Training courses of languages and with us the small English ones…!
10. Agatha Christie is the empress of the whodunnit and it made of a Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, her hero!
