Thanks for that, a nice synopsis. I think Bretons look down their noses at the 'French' as much as the other way around. And funny you should draw comparisons with the West Country because the peoples from the West Country derive from the same Celtic diaspora as the Bretons - there is an affinity between the two.
[Note, hailing from the West Country myself, I have never taken any offence at references to cow-worrying, cider-making wurzel types made in my presence. I do, however, feel a strong affection for Bernard Hinault, himself a Breton.]
