[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 523737, member: 11791"] It's a culture-clash thing. Which is much harder to deal with than just plain old-fashioned rude. Rude you can just be rude to. You are culturally English - they are culturally French. You are a world-wise cosmopolitan gal - and they are "villagers" with a very "village" mindset. There is NO way to "make" somebody be accepting. And... with the many, many generations of history between the Brits and the French? Ummm... old cultural grudges die hard. You'd be better off being Moroccan... at least it's a French colony. Move to Canada? <just kidding, although you would enjoy it here... could even work in Que. and keep your French connection going for J as well... umm... no, that won't work either... you'd still be a Brit in a French community, and while they are somewhat more accepting here than there, it's the same problem> [/QUOTE]
