Funny French Advert (an aside)

In the mornings while I eat le petit-dejeuner and pendant les soirees, I  have been watching little snippets of French television, so far mainly dubbed versions of American an English programs. Such as Friends (obviously), Dawson's Creek (maybe a bit less obviously), and Ray Meers!! (???)Another thing I have come to dicover is the French do like their adverts, or at least those who run the tv stations do! Anyway I was very surprised to discover during the course of a very long advert break that they have McVities Digestive biscuits here in France! But this was not the only thing that struck me. The tag line for the advert has to be one of the best that I have heard so far! It goes: "They're English, but they're good!" I think this is so funny, and such an insight (and a slight insult) into what the French think of our food! If nothing else we can at least make a good biscuit!
