So early Britons were ... French ??!!

:hmmm: :o :har:

.

[Jimbuna]

Probably similar diets existed in many parts of the world in the early times...you ate anything you could catch.

[Oberon]

We've been French since 1066, probably earlier.

Heck, half our language is french! :O:

[Betonov]

Heck, half our language is french! :O:

And the other half is German :haha:

Wait :hmmm: So is ours :oops:

[Schroeder]

And the other half is German :haha:

Wait :hmmm: So is ours :oops:
We are everywhere!:smug:

:O:

[Ducimus]

French-> Franks-> Germanic ?

Two points:

1. You were very quick to defend British "Cuisine"

2. Your response is a rather good explanation for said "cuisine"


:D


<O>

Anyone fancy a dish of "escargot", to go down with tap beer? Quite popular here.
Somehow I don't feel very French, though.

Nah! Most of the Northern half of England is genetically Norse as is a fair chunk of Scotland myself included. :up:

I watched a very interesting proggy about this a few years ago, so most of us are Vikings... :arrgh!:

A couple of years ago I was considering moving to Sweden. I then learned that the Swedish word for "teacher" is lerare, among other strikingly interesting words too.

Oui. Fish and chips, and curries didn't enter our stomachs for many years to come. Well fish did, but not the chips. :arrgh!:

[Wolferz]

With an obtuse amountl of slag.:03::haha:

[Penguin]

And the other half is German :haha:

Wait :hmmm: So is ours :oops:

So you guys just took both languages, mixed them together and omitted the vowels? :haha:

[Betonov]

And added the letters č,š and ž :O:

[TarJak]

And added the letters č,š and ž :O:

Aren't most of your words made up of just those letters?:O:

[Betonov]

Aren't most of your words made up of just those letters?:O:

No, that would be the Poles :O:

Slovene: kva paj pol, a na mežnar špilaš
Polish: Zwrčny zšibšy ažmišnhwž

[TarJak]

No, that would be the Poles :O:

Slovene: kva paj pol, a na mežnar špilaš
Polish: Zwrčny zšibšy ažmišnhwž

Oh that's right. Poland took all the slavic languages threw them up in the air, chewed on them for an hour or two before swallowing them and later throwing them up all over the carpet leaving only those three letters.

There's an ä in it: Lärare. :know: :03:

Lera means clay.


An interesting Swedish word relevant to this site is: Ubåt, short for undervattensbåt. Which means: submarine. :)

[TarJak]

WE shouldn't get slovenly about our poles? Wha...:rotfl2:

I'l take a rain czech thanks...
