1000 years of anti Jewish ranting distilled and relabelled Muslim. Thats progress for you.

Considering almost the whole southern French coast was Italian up to what 1860? Italian surnames shouldn't be unusual. Monaco is still run by an Italian Prince

Rob

What is now modern day North Germany (Nieder Sachsen, Schleswig Holstein, etc) and Denmark (Jutland). Obviously most of these peoples remained there, and in places on the way to England (the Low Countries).

The cultural distinctiveness of the Saxons in Europe was largely erradicated after Charles the Great's subjugation.

The PiÃ¨ce de rÃ

sistance? The ability to strike willy nilly because someone looked at you "a bit funny".

2 hours break for lunch?

That is a thing of the past I'm afraid...

Don't forget Mc Do in France is their seconfd best world's market...

Sad but true.

Shorter weeks?

People in the private sector are making up the hours most of the time for free...

The 35 hours are a con...Only the public sector is enjoying the benefits of it...

As overtime are tax free ,a lot of people do more than 35 hours...

The rest is true...

Wrong...

Nice and Savoie were given to France in the 19th century after Napoleon the third helped them being independent..

The rest of the coast line was always French...

Minor sleeve pitch issues does seem to fix itself over time. My first coat with Chan had a slight pitch issue in which both sleeves are angled a couple of degrees forward, causing ripples around the rear armpit. The those folds slowly disappeared after considerable wear and now my sleeves fall immaculately.

Try going to the gym with your jacket.

This is inaccurate. The mainstream Right opposes illegal immigration from Latin America (or anywhere else). You can choose to believe conservative Americans specifically hate on latinos for some heinously arbitrary, prejudicial reason, or you can realize they are simply emphasizing that our most obvious illegal immigration problem stems from Latin America.

In Europe, it seems many politically moderate people aren't upset about illegal immigration alone, but immigration as a whole. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Thats a lot of suits in a short period of time. I can see why they make so many mistakes.

While this should be in my Expat thread, I'll toss in a link to Darren Beaman's Youtube channel to show the process for a lower volume of production.

AFAIK, he is neither immigrant nor Ã

migrÃ

.
