An Objective Analysis

In the spirit of togetherness as befits the season of goodwill to all men I thought it might be timely to assess and complement our soon to be ex (hopefully) EU 'partners'...

Austria	Switzerland’s less fashionable neighbour. Still thinks the Austro Hungarian Empire is a thing.
Belgium	Created by us. Good tank country. How did it end up with the best race track in the World?
Bulgaria	The USSR’s favourite Cold War thugs
Croatia	Part of the Balkans. Hence Trouble
Cyprus	Worst sherry in the world
Czech	Great engineers
Denmark	Bacon and Hamlet
Estonia	Battlefield of choice for Russia and Germany
Finland	Fantastic rally and GP drivers and fought the Reds to a standstill.
France	The place you drive through to get to Switzerland and Italy
Germany	Came second. Twice.
Greece	Don’t trust a Greek bearing gifts
Hungary	More Soviet thugs and like Austria still think the Austro Hungarian Empire is a thing.
Ireland	Highly intelligent with a great sense of humour and Guiness
Italy	Best food anywhere. Ferrari. Maserati. Lancia. OSCA. Need I say more?
Latvia	See Estonia above
Luxembourg	False teeth and tax evasion
Malta	Errrr?
Netherlands	Invented Capitalism. And were indirectly responsible for the Glorious Revolution.
Poland	Plumbers for hire. More excellent battlefields for Germany and Russia
Portugal	Our oldest ally. Port.
Romania	Hitler’s oil fields and more thugs for whoever.
Slovakia	Think Czecho..
Slovenia	Another Balkan state = trouble.
Spain	Lazy. Like killing donkeys and bulls
Sweden	Abba. Blondes. Norway with a sense of humour.

Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you all.
