As a corporate pilot who spends a lot of time in Europe I can attest that
the French controllers speak MUCH better English than the English
controllers.

I've heard that French controllers are derisively referred to as
"keskeedees," because they are always saying "Qu'est-ce qu'il dit?"
("What did he say?") in the background to their colleagues when
guiding aircraft in English.
