The French

Sent on to us by Ian Shires, Budapest

"The Almighty in his infinite wisdom did not see fit to create Frenchmen in the image of an Englishman." WS Churchill

"Is it possible to wear a beret back to front?" David Perril

"Am I the only one who's always tempted to light the little wick on top of a beret?" Paul Merton

"I don't understand the French. These are a people with a town called Brest and none of them think it's funny." Al Murray

"Aioli is the nearest thing the French have to HP sauce." John Lanchester

"That Eiffel Tower is a tragic waste of Meccano. As a result, French boys have nothing to play with except themselves, and that's how all the trouble with the French started." Al Murray

And finally for you bikers:

"The French favour le cyclisme and have the famous Tour de France and the shorter but steeper Tour d'Eiffel." Matthew Sturgis
