Temat: Giving the United Kingdom a certain 'je ne sais quoi':

The United Kingdom has long had an inferiority complex withregard to the more stylish French and Italians.

Gordon Brown has appointed Carla Bruni Sarkozy, the wife of the French President, as advisor to the British government to infuse greater style and glamour into the United Kingdom.

She will start by attempting to improve the U.K.'s dress sense and cuisine:

Good idea?

Do you reckon she will have to dumb down her English? ;)

Bloody rubbish idea, I do not think that English people lack style and glamour, it is the other way round, I think that French dress awfully.

But, it is only my opinion. You can tell straight away who is from what country by just looking at their clothes (sometimes ;))

There are stories of British women running out of French clothes shops in tears when the assistant looks them up and down then speaks to them in English.

But generally I agree, the French often dress badly. Swedes, on the other hand always seem to look good.

Err... sorry for being late to the party but did noone else see this for the whopper it was? Especially with the date being April 1st and the author a certain "Avril de Poisson".

Some of the jokes were quite funny though, particularly the quote at the end from the French 'cultural attache': "We have been working absolutely round the clock, from 9am to 3pm, just to keep up."
