Nord Pas de Calais is west of much of Belgium - Nord Pas de Calais is not France. France is France. To travel to Belgium from the vast majority of France one has to go north. Likewise you cannot truthfully say that your hand is in your nose just because your finger is.
I can't believe I'm even debating this - think what you like, Flashy, you usually do. Perhaps that's got something to do with why waiters are so rude to you.
I can't believe you are even debating this either, not to mention insulting me twice over nothing.
i really do not understand your reasons for being such a prick in this thread, MB. I really do not know why you are going all Stronzo on me now, for nothing....at first i thought you were just being funny and joking around...but are you seriously being this pedantic and pissy?
Spain, is, in fact, South, South-west, and some parts are simply west of some cities in france, such as Cannes, and Toulon.
Belgium is, in fact, North, Northeast, and in some places merely east from certain places in France or is Lille no longer in france now?
if you cannot take a simple joke, when i said do you live in the same france that is west of Belgium but east of Spain, then i am sorry.
i should have been more accurate with regards to the exact latitudes of France so as not to run afoul of your sense of direction.
and perhaps because you can be so rude, you do not notice that same behavior in the waiters, since you are both acting in your normal way.
you need to relax.
oh and Nord Pas de Calais *IS* France. It is a region of France.
stop being such a snot...just because it has some separate culture historically, and a distinct minority and 2 smaller languages, does not mean it is not part of France. the majority there speaks French and it is one of the largest regions by populace *IN FRANCE*
