The passport checking if proof were needed the reason the British are not to keen on the French. They do seem to have very short history memories about past events, also they have never forgiven the British for Agincourt or sinking their ships at Mers Elk' Kebir in 1940 and of course Waterloo. I do study modern history and the historical view that "History always repeats its self". Just a thought about History repeating, if Putin is not stopped at Ukraine Poland may be a tempting prize the next could well be France. does it sound a little familiar? May be this time France will get you are on your own pall! From the British, If any part of this prediction happens I do hope I have well slipped of my mortal coil.
