Dozy
I had to work quite hard on the sidestick to keep the nose at 15 degrees up both on approach to and during the stall.
There is a big difference between an uncontrollable nose down pitch when the aircraft stalls in the classic manner and the need to hold back stick in ever increasing amounts as AoA is increased.
The former is a sort of instability the latter a natural characteristic of a stable airplane. The A330 and A320 are alike in this respect and if you go back to that pseudo-pitching moment curve I posted many moons ago (and which mm43 referred to more recently) you will find a continuous relationship between elevator (sidestick) position and AoA.
