    Good point though
    Yep, i can understand that too as i lived/worked in Munich in my younger days and longed for a sensible conversation with someone English. Funny thing is when i got back to the UK i found it difficult to speak English, sometimes using Deutchglish and confusing the hell out of everyone. I might also add i returned to the UK as homesickness got the better of me. A very strange thing that feeling of homesickness!
