M25 on Google Maps

Why is the M25 on Google Maps labelled "Autoroute Britannique M25"?

Have we been covertly invaded by the French since I moved to Australia? :confused:

The French don't do Invading, they like the following:

1) Burning things
2) Running away
3) Burning things then running away
4) Cheese

You forgot striking.

Seeing as none of the words are those than cross between English and French, and it translates to British Motorway M25, I suspect it is a bug/mistake.

Well unless you count the time Normandy (old name for Northern France) invaded and conquered England

Hehe, I'm not so much "pro-French" more a case of not anti-French, I think its a bit unfair that they get labelled surrender monkeys, etc just because of WW2, you have to remember when Germany breached the Maginot line* that the British army were side by side with the French army running away.

*The massive fortified line along the French/German border. The Germans came through Belgium.

‎1.Go to Google Maps.
2.Write Japan as your start point.
3.Write China as your destination.
4.Go to 43rd point on your route
