| Since it's from The Daily Telegraph, a paper which has very much anti-European inclinations, I'm inclined to think 'hmmm...' anyways. The world is full of generalisations such as all French are surly and grumpy, all Americans are loud and arrogant, Scandinavians are depressed, the Dutch are always s... |
