The French kiss, a term for a passionate, open-mouth kiss where tongues touch, came into common use in America in the 1920s. Prevailing theories state that the French preface in French kiss most likely comes from WWI British and American solders who labeled allied Frenchmen as promiscuous or less inhibited when discussing sensual matters (or both). The sensual French stereotype snowballed, and the preface, French, is now used in English as a euphemism to express ideas generally considered inappropriate or sordid.

A French kiss was considered to be 'naughty'. Since Brits aren't naughty as far as sex is concerned, it became a 'French' kiss. Condoms used to be called French letters.
That dated play from 1971 'No Sex please, we're British,' illustrated the British problem - it ran for ten years - but only survived 16 showings on Broadway in 1973. Now what does that imply?

Tales of the Riverbank with Hammy Hamster, GP and Martha the Mouse. I can't remember whether Martha was in the British series or just in the Canadian revival.
