An oldie, but a goodie, and so very true.

Funnily enough my wife has a Thai friend in the UK, married, couple of kids, but she still speaks pigeon English that I can hardly understand. And get this, her English husband is a teacher&#33; She runs a market stall selling asian knick knacks, so hardly has a shortage of interaction with English speakers.
