I also think this is reflected in the quality of the audio equipment that they produce. And it's one country that knows how to party; just ask Worf what he thought of his vacation there last summer.
I agree. The French are unpleasent and even snotty sometimes (I know I was raised there). I find the Brits to be a lot more pleasant and helpful in general. The Italiens are often refered to as 'happy french'. And the spanish... I like. Ive yet to visit the Netherlands but one of my good friends now lives in Amsterdam so I probably should pay him a visit.
