Oh, I agree, there are some wonderful people in France- I must say that the folk in the countryside were always warm and welcoming. But I met some of the most arrogant SOBs in the world in Paris…

That said, I'd love to visit again, especially the Bordeaux area!

How soon they forget.

The late father of a local friend of mine, Teddy Goldtooth, came ashore on Utah Beach with the 4th Combat Engineers. This Navajo from Arizona spent weeks on the front lines blowing things up so the infantry could get through.

I wonder how that motorist would have treated him.

Please gents, let's keep the the thread to kilts, and resist the the temptation to bash the French. Rude is rude, regardless of nationality.

Thanks,

My point exactly...just one person...what difference does his nationality make? There are plenty of rude Americans, Canadians, Brits, etc. as well. Rude is Rude. This story could have easily taken place in another country.
