Question

I fell in love with England because it was quaint £¨¹ÅÑÅ£©¡ªall those little houses, looking terri­bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls¡¯ houses£®I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London£®I¡¯ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it¡¯s an ugly town now£®

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man­ners£®The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man­ners¡ªpeople shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing£®

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places£®You¡¯re forced to live indoors£®In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs£®To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman£®The cafes are not terribly nice£®

As a woman, I feel unsafe here£®I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans­port after 10 p£®m£®I used to use it, but now I¡¯m afraid£®

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that¡¯s typically French£®In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now£®His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone£®
