Give it back to those buggers, the French!
France was deliberately put next to Britain, as was Canada next to USA, so we could gripe about our respective neighbours.
The rivalry betwixt France & us civilised, superior, & more intelligent Britons, has always been good natured, even when we were at war with each other.
Just remember that if it were not for that rivalry, the French would never have given the Statue Of Liberty to those rebel yankee personages. It was a calculated insult to us Brits. So there!

P.S. I'm off to Louisiana next April, so I'm boning up on my schoolboy French.
