It's ridiculous. Imagine if the word for "French" and the word for "vintage Champagne" sounded almost identical, and you accidentally referred to a French person as something they proudly export round the world and which is a byword for quality and refinement.

Aye, because you never find anyone on England who expresses any views which could be deemed racist or bigoted ... ;)

The little inglanders on here feel the need to be loved, pretty pathetic really but, like I said in my first post there's some underlying issues from
Some posters who were probably bullied in the playground.
