The product of his parents' ferociously antagonistic genes, François Théodore Thistlethwaite is a traumatized, split-identity 'Frenglishman'. Any one of his three alter egos - François, the Marxist Frenchman, his ultra-conservative English sibling, Thistlethwaite, or Théodore, their middle voice of reason - can seize control of the whole to expound their views on some of those différences which cause English and French 'physically separated by just a narrow stretch of shallow brine' to be 'vast oceans apart'. Illustrated by a variety of hilarious anecdotes based on the author's own experiences and observations during the 40 years he has managed to survive among the French, François Théodore Thistlethwaite's FRENGLISH THOUGHTS contains a host of humorous, insightful reflections on subjects such as feminism, queuing, the Puritan factor, driving in France, sporting fair play and many more - some of which are controversial enough to rock the very foundations of the Entente Cordiale.
