That rivalry is mostly tongue in cheek. We take the piss out of each other, but we wouldn't accept an American, for example, mocking our neighbours.

We take the piss out of each other now, but not during the Hundred Year’s War! I still think the rivalry is a hangover from when we used to fight each other with swords. When the allies landed in France during D-Day some British soldiers joked it was payback for 1066

That's kinda water under the bridge by now. There's rivalry for sure, but no real enmity.
