    As opposed to a German restaurant of which there are even fewer? Although I suppose in your case the explanation is less due to redundance and more repulsion.

    National headbutting aside, redundant doesn't mean nonexistant, otherwise your assertion of french restaurant would have been disproven by the first cafe rouge.
    Nor is it exclusive, a institution's template can have multiple contributers.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Unlike your claim about British restaurants, I never claimed anything about German ones.

    It is more likely that Germany is used to sell entire parts of cities or drug store chains:

    Not to mention all the ALDI stores (or ALDI-owned chains) you can find all over the world.

    It does not really bother me if you make a big deal out of a few puny restaurants.

    Dude you just took a silly nationalist jab as a serious point. Who's the one making a big deal here again?

    You think I'm serious? Why so serious?

    UK is to France what, USA and the Commonwealth is to UK.

    So whilst France is not Anglo it is part of the proto-Anglosphere.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    The real story is more unexpecting than the video above. For example, his grandfather was actually born to a Christian family.

    http://www.nknews.org/2013/09/from-k...north-koreans/
    “You will notice Kim Il Sung took his political ideas from the Bible”

    The answer is because of the similarities between Christianity and our government:

    I guess most of you are unaware, but as I mentioned before, Kim Il Sung was once a Christian. In fact, he was brought up in a very devout Christian family. His father was a graduate from the most renowned Christian school in the peninsula and his mother was deaconess. In addition, his grandfather and brothers were also priests in Pyongyang. It’s ironic that a man who came from such a religious family would erase his past once becoming a socialist. But he was no socialist – he was no more than the starter of Kim Il Sung-ism. He formed the ‘Ten Principles for the Establishment of the One-Ideology System’ which resembled Moses’ Ten Commandments – forcefully instilling it into us and compelling us to obey.
    And much controversy surrounds Kim Il-sung's political career before the founding of North Korea:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Il...lla_activities
    Communist and Guerrilla Activities

    Much controversy surrounds the details of Kim's political career before the founding of North Korea, with some sources labelling him an imposter. Several sources indicate that the name "Kim Il-sung" had previously been used by a prominent early leader of the Korean resistance, Kim Kyung-cheon (김경천). Grigory Mekler, who allegedly prepared Kim to lead North Korea, says that Kim assumed this name while in the Soviet Union in the early 1940s from a former commander who had died. According to Leonid Vassin, an officer with the Soviet MVD, Kim was essentially "created from zero". For one, his Korean was marginal at best; he had only had eight years of formal education, all of it in Chinese. He needed considerable coaching to read a speech (which the MVD prepared for him) at a Communist Party congress three days after he arrived.
    When he arrived at North Korea, people who knew the original Kim Il-sung said that they were surprised to see an unknown young man posing as Kim Il-sung.
    Wooooo!!!

    France is part of the L'Anglosphere.
