Be nice. You're giving France a bad rap it doesn't deserve. The French are far less snooty and rude then most New York City folk I encountered in the 5 years I worked there.

The French may have invented being rude and snooty... but New Yorkers made it into an art form...... ;D
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Pud, were you at the Oriole-Yankee game Saturday night too?  Yeesh.  The place was awash in pinstripes.  I did my best to make them feel at home, though.  I peed on the Metro.

You haven't been to Florida, have you?

Most of the people I met from New York aren't snobby at all. Then again it could be that the locals here are soo snobby that it makes the New Yorkers seem nice. So if New Yorkers made it into an art form; then Floridians are master artisians at it.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

Please most Floridians are displaced NYers, so much so that on all NY traffic tickets have FL listed oalong with CT, NJ.

Don't lump frenchies and New Yorkers together like that. I can see a frenchie getting his panties in a knot about being called a snob, but a real New Yorker, of which I am one, would just flip you the bird for being called rude. ;) ;D :D
