[Captain Shaw]

Pas-de-Calais in northern France is set to rebrand itself as part of southern England in a bid to cash in on the London Olympics.

Do you think we can send the tax man round

This is of course all in preparation for the British invasion of France by the 24th Century.

That almost sounds like an Onion article.

eta: that quote is hilarious.

Pierre Nouchi, who owns a hotel in the area, insists tourists visiting the Games will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds by staying in France.

"Visitors will be able to benefit from the quality of our region, the quality of the French way of life, and they're scarcely two hours from London," said Nouchi.

Translation : "you can enjoy the games while you stay in a civilized country"
It's so cliché

 

[MANT!]

I really wonder if the tourists will fall for it...

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Well, look on the bright side. It'll be a way to fool any customers who decide to leave the Eurostar for when it breaks down again.

Hopefully, it's not going to snow in summer...well, for the British side I can't be sure

Who ever thought the UK tourist trade could be outsourced

I always thought London had a certain je ne sais quoi.

The first time I visited London after a long while, it felt like a different country - indeed, it felt positively European.

Really, they're not that much different:

BTW, both cities are different, different flavours

Well it was only a matter of time before this happened, they probably got sick of losing wars

not succesfully Invaded since 1066 and counting

Edit - Watched the You Tube vid and we win 6-2 as I counted from that maybe 6-3 but I gave the sandwich point to us

It's not like there is something interesting to invade

 

[Deckerd]

He talks as though they arrived in 1066 and went home again, instead of infesting us for 200 years until we had shagged them silly and they became British out of gratitude.

 

[Roshi]

Or is it the other way around?
