Re: Asian women and the English language.

About a year ago, Mrs H and one of her Peruvian buddies were walking along the street, yakking away in Spanish, when a chav walked past and said "yer in effing England, talk in effing English." Naturally, they told him where to go (in Anglo-Saxon!), but it seems strange to me that people should expect those whose first language is not English to talk in English at all times!
