But why would a non English speaker when conversing with a fellow countryman speak English to them!

But yes. Pretty good English accents.

In order to pretend that they are not a fellow countryman ? Didn't you ever want to ignore someone from your country who was being a dick or just boring ?

I heard that speaking with a Glaswegian accent will discourage conversation with most people.

(Full disclosure: I have been known to speak fluent Glaswegian very late at night after enough beer, but usually it's a sort of esperanto.)

Righto then, we're all agreed that British English is superior to that other weird stuff from the war mongers then.

Excellent! Next thread then.

Good point.

However. I've deliberately not spoken because there's been British mongs around whilst abroad but that was in Tenerife.

I've a German mate in Cambodia who pretends he's Dutch (he speaks Dutch) to Germans.
