EU wants to spend £1.1m to rename the English channel 'The Anglo-French Pond' - Polidicks

Why does it cost money to just rename something? And what is the point of it anyways?

Ahahahaha, fuck off EU.

Daily Mail. DAILY MAIL. There is nothing to discuss here because it is likely not true

"The Anglo-French Pond" What a pussy name. Pond reminds me of primary school for some reason, and acknowledging that France is equal to the UK will never happen in my life time. English Channel it should stay.

How about the Moist Brit-Frank Gorge

That's so pathetic though. Improving relations over a shit name? Is everybody 5 years old? I just called it the channel anyways.

the daily mail has a habit of printing ourrageous stories which are half truths. Most likely the channel is going to be renamed but it's going to take a long time to do and the capital in france bs is a load of lies.

The Sears Channel.

[img]http://gladstonefamily.net/lg_bt_pond_apr_2001.jpg[/img] This is a pond. The Channel is just a [I]tad[/I] bigger than that.

And why would renaming it cost money?

This shit again? It was proven to be some shit made up by the Daily Mail back when it was posted 8 months or so ago.

'Anglo-French Pond'...what idiots. :frown: Keep it as the English Channel.

They can take our rights, BUT THEY CANNAE TAKE OUR CHANNEL!

hahaha how ridiculous

Anglo-French Channel doesn't sound so bad, but [B]POND[/B]? What were they thinking?

What?!? I don't want to be part of France!

No.

The Daily Mail is the only newspaper left that still considers England the centre of the world.

[QUOTE=Denicide;25194289]The Daily Mail is the only newspaper left that still considers England the centre of the world.[/QUOTE] I wondered why people scoffed when I told them I read the mail.

I'm pretty sure this is fake

Also, this article is from April, nothing has been heard about it since.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;25188999]It's because England has traditionally had a bigger navy than France, which is exactly why Napoleon never attacked England directly. England owned the sea, hence it's called the English channel.[/QUOTE] Nice try, but your so called big navy lost against the Dutch navy.

Why would they waste over a million quid on doing something no one wants to do, and when it all boils down to it, wasting money changing a name for no reason? I'm sure the French really don't care that much if that specific part of the ocean doesn't have their country's name in it.

NO FUCK THIS. It's so stupid it makes me want to puke.

Considering the EU parliament voted down ACTA, I can give them this. Fair trade if you ask me.

Fuck off I live in East sussex and I fucking hate France this is such bullshit

I'm Scottish, right? So this was my reaction to reading this: "And Scotland breaks away from Britain" [url]http://myfacewhen.com/96/[/url] Then the article continued: "to become part of the Northern Periphery with parts of Norway, Greenland, Iceland and Finland." [url]http://myfacewhen.com/2/[/url] I fucking think not.
