Rudeness

Wondered how long that one would last... ;-) They do have a reputation for it, though, which ought to be mentioned. John Stephenson 00:03, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

True, at least among ignorant Americans. I find Parisians very polite, in a formal manner. Although it helps if one speaks French and doesn't look like an Ugly American, I suppose.Hayford Peirce 12:22, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

London

"Each of these has its own distinct character, unlike for instance the centre of London, which is mostly home to shops and government buildings.". Does that not sound biased and condescending?

A trifle, but bland and banal more than anything. And not very precise. What, for instance, is the "center" of London, and how far does it extend? London is *enormous*.... Bad writing, actually, that should be replaced. Hayford Peirce 03:41, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
