    And I'd expect the UK to drop a lot further once everyone is driving around in Leyland like Lada's
    What the hell do France buy from Germany? It's not food, wine or cars. Everyone I know who's French would rather buy Bulgarian than German.

          Really embarrassing actually. As I struggle to learn German.. .day to day others in the company rattle off Deutsch, French, English.. like it was their mother tongue in all three. Usually only switching to English for my benefit.

            You can't know that many French people then. (Or you like to make sweeping generalisations based on skewed data sets)
            The 4 biggest imports into France from Germany are: aircraft (10%), cars (9%), aircraft parts and car parts
