12. We Are Not French, And We're Definitely NOT English

English people, we look like you, we talk like you, we even play tennis like you, but we are not you. At least, that's what your universities think when they charge us more money because we're Overseas Students, or when banks refuse our applications for student loans, or if we want to renew our drivers licences after moving away from the island. Message received. Thanks. French people, we are not you either. We used to be, but that didn't work out. It's not you, it's us. Let's just get past it. Stop calling us. Let's not have a repeat of 1781 where you sent battalions to invade and we sent your arses packing because Jersey is Thug Life. We're our own person, Mum and Dad. Deal with it.
