The English Channel

Ever wonder if it bugs the French that it's called the English Channel instead of the French Channel? Probably ticks 'em off. Hehehe...fetchers.

  1. I don't wonder--I know.

    And it does.

  2. That made me laugh -- I bet it's one of those things that the French have secretly been seething about.

    Or maybe they call it the French Channel -- I really don't know. Europe isn't my region of expertise.

  3. According to Erin they do, which makes me smile when I think about it. :)

  4. My girlfriend is Polish, and she was surprised when I called it the English Channel.
    "Oh, at school on the maps it said French Channel"

    She's not a winder-upper, so I searched the net and 'all I got was this (lousy?!!) web page'.

    One - nill, girlfriend!
