Nothing new. Always goes in this order: French, Host Nationality, then English.

Nothing new. Always goes in this order: French, Host Nationality, then English.

So it's going to be French, Cockney, English?

The newswires have reported that the French Government has announced that it has raised its terror alert level from 'Run' to 'Hide'. The only two higher levels in France are 'Surrender' and 'Collaborate'. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's White Flag factory, effectively disabling their military.

though I believe it was on QI that the French have won more wars that the English.

As Bob Monkhouse said 'The channel tunnel was built so that the French could get to London quicker to surrender or confirm their surrender which ever was needed'.

French first, English second ... in a nation where English is the national language.

I think it's only going to be whinging poms who object.

This. More sensationalist journalism creating a story out of nothing.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Which sounds most climactic?

"Gold Medallist and Olympic Champion, Medaille d'Or et Champion Olympique, ... Chris Hoy"

or

"Medaille d'Or et Champion Olympique, Gold Medallist and Olympic Champion ... Chris Hoy" ?

I think French first, English second does the business.
