And I believe we are also looking at cross-culturals differences in the Asterix comics as well!?
Panoramix? who is he? I think us WASPS call him Getafix!
As to William, well, being Norman, he wasn't really French was he, more like Norse I think, and as us English say, the Normans may have beaten the Saxons on Senlac Hill, but it was the French (Brettonian) wing that routed!!!
Before I go home, I should throw in the true-Anglo dig that only by using some form of temporal device would allow the French to beat the English
and by the way, you can keep Maurice Chevalier and Sacha Distel, provided we get to keep Beatrice Dahl, Sophie Marceau, Leatitia Casta, Catherine Deneuve (in her younger days) and Tabitha Cash
