You serious? I can understand in some countries where the locals don't want to speak english unless you try to speak to them in their native tongue, but if these shops are refusing to speak english in the UK, there is something a bit wrong with that.
Yeah, so I know where I'm gonna be spending my lunch break tomorrow! At County Hall, complaining my ass off Joe
I work with many polish people and time after time you will get a polish person who cant speak a word of english, and to make matters worse they've been living here for a few years. It's digusting i would never goto imigrate to another country and not speak the bloody language.
Why not pop in and ask/try to ask if it means a language bar - person bar or maybe it means "no english - spoken" but they don't know how to state that in english ?
