Even the bloody dog looks like a snob ;D
Dashed unsportsmanlike to shoot peasants pheasants with a belt fed gun.
It's ok - they are in the middle of the minefield I laid during the night ;)

Brandy, champagne, cheese, automatic weaponry ... all the classy stuff comes from France :-)
Sir! You're a blackguard!
Malt whisky, Port, Cheddar, and a good solid Bren gun! (Yes I know it's basically a Czech design, but it's been properly Anglicised.)
No need for Johnny Frenchman to enjoy a comfortable life!

Champagne was actually invented by an Englishman Dr Merret in 1662 some 20 years before the French Monk copied "our " recipe. (Your right FSN typical blackguard thing to do) :)
Also the advanced industrialisation of England allowed us to produce bottles that were strong enough for the secondary fermentation process.
So we are now looking for the French to pay us royalties on every bottle thay have produced in the last 340 years :D
If you follow that logic after the French have paid then we should pay the Italians who planted the vineyards there in the first place :D

The Italians left the vineyards behind when they
retreated ,
evacuated , R
an away went home. And anyway vines are a plant not a patentable product
Well I am going to blame you for the whole thing cos while I was looking it up I had to read a Daily Express article and now I will have to go and burn my eyes out

Sorry Fenton, It could have been worse though. I remembered it from the book "A thousand years of annoying the French" that i had read. When I looked it up I had to read a Daily Mail article ;D

No one knows - all the adds for then say "Droped Once, Never Fired" ;D
The Hotchkiss M1914 is a great weapon
Where do the photo in the initial post stems from ? some sort of series ? :)
I just assumed it was Luddite's staff.
The one on the very left looks like Henry Winkler

The one with the strip of ammunition that totally failed to work if it was dropped?

The one next to him is definitely John Hurt.

Yeah but it was impossible to put together wrong and they introduced a belt feed in 1915
