Not a huge fan no. Not as bad as the Germans but having worked in both countries in the past I can safely say it's not an experience I care to repeat.

But, did you know that they music playlist on ALL French radio stations has to be 66% of French origin, yet another example of their xenophobia (especially when the was majority f their music is utter crap).

Oh, another thing to come out of France, refugees.
