Merci beaucoups, vous êtes très aimable, bon chance monsieur.
Having recently lived in France for 18 months, I never met anything but deep gratitude and respect from the French people.
I feel that any Franco-bashing is as inappropriate as blaming all Brits for what the government has managed to enmesh us in.
I think our French gentleman has been very gracious and I thank him accordingly.
