The Olympic decision and British food

Over the last few days we've had some fun in the office following the French president's comments on Monday that British food and agriculture. As reported on the BBC website, Chirac's is quoted as saying that Brits shouldn't be trusted as the food is so bad over there, and the only thing we'd done for agriculture was mad cow disease. I have found that it is true that the French percive the food in the UK to be bad.

All this has been alongside the build up to find who will host the 2012 Olympic games, with Paris and London, had created some friendly rivalry here in the office in Grenoble. London won the vote to host the games, and I then found notes on my desk to ask me not to sit there, and that London cheated, and that all Brits should go home. All good and harmless fun, of course.


Now, the files have started arriving on the internet, and these have of course been sent around my colleagues here in France.
