Well, as far as Portugal is concerned:

The french invaded our country not once, nor twice, but three times and left really bad memories both on their way in and on their way out.

Plus they stole everytinhg they could and smashed what they couldn't take.

They provided a country for us to go to during the sixties, and then treated the portuguese immigrants like shit - but they were not the only ones.

They provided us with a place to dream about - during the fifties, the sixties and most of the seventies all portuguese leftists dreamed of France.

During those same decades, contraceptive pills had to be smugled into Portugal from France. Interesting books too.

Still during those same decades portuguese kids were made to learn french at school - learning english before 7th grade was considered freakish.

They have probably the most expensive books in the world.

They eat snails, for God's sake!!!!

They think of themselves as the guardians of european culture and try their best to make everybody else feel bad about it.

Paris is beautiful, french cheeses are great, french cuisine is YUK!, onion soup is yummy, french notebooks' pages are strangely squared (but I like that) and they must have the most incredibly obnoxious ortographic rules in the world.
