They are.

I've said this before on Slashdot but these comments piss me off. The French were instrumental in helping you kick our arses and becoming independent, show them some respect or give them the Statue of Liberty back.

Whoever it was I'd say had it spot on.

This is probably very British of me but my immediate internal response to this was "150 year old castles? Leeds has a shopping centre that's over 100 years old!"

I think he's a denizen of the monastery, generally best not to poke them as they tend to bite (or weep uncontrollably depending on their stage of recovery).
