St. George's day: What are the English like?

These people over here can tell you. Here's my favorite bit:

The French and the English have [b]een sparring partners for so long that the English have developed a kind of love-hate relationship with them. The English love France. They love its food and wine and thoroughly approve of its climate. There is a subconscious historical belief that the French have no right to be living in France at all, to the extent that thousands of Englishmen try annually to turn the more attractive areas of France into little corners of Surrey.
Read the rest of it and enjoy. I think they mean it as a little bit of fun.

There is a whole directory of stuff here from the same people. It's a Russian site so why not play a little roulette with the files and see what you can turn up.
