My God. I can not believe all the numbers. French market is such small?

France is small... 60 million population.

What make Europe strong is all countries combined... not a single country alone.

UK has a smaller population and the numbers are double.

I think the UK overall is more wealthy than France, this might be a factor in this. Don't quote me on it, though.

Well technically France is wealthier because GDP is higher in France, it is the 5 th economy in the world, maybe only 6 th now because of Brazil. Anyway the way of life is not that different between UK and France, the difference is elsewhere.

UK software is really a lot cheaper than in France, so it must boost the national market. In addition UK is a must country for importing. I even know French people who imports from UK because it is cheaper. 

Us Germans do it, too. Even with customs importing from the UK is cheaper.
