    It is so really true. And as a French business woman, I moved to the UK and it is so pleasant to live here!
    Mon ami m’a envoyé le lien vers votre blog, et on a cette discussion très souvent. Quant à moi, je n’ai pas l’intention de revenir en France et j’envisage même de laisser tomber la nationalité. Les français sont la risée des étrangers qui bossent (allemands, anglais, hollandais, canadiens, pour ce que je fréquente dans le boulot).

    Et qui refusent de voir la réalité en face.

    CQFD.
