Then by the time the French decided to not produce anymore of them in the mid to late 1980s, the English had fallen in love with it. This is an example that shows that they want the same thing but not at the same time I don't think they hate us, it's just some kind of rivalry: in the XX° century we fought alongside for the 2 great wars.
