    Where do you get that idea from? Most of them seem perfectly competent in English. Or are you suggesting that because I live in Worcestershire I should learn Mercian?

    It makes me laugh that Facebook is also being used as some sort of online protest site host, mostly because it doesnt involve actually getting up off your fat angst ridden teenage arse and doing some proper protesting. Pointless and useless.

    Isn't it a bit like complaining the Daily Sport is sexist?

    The people who use/read it are a reflection of it's content – you are what you read

    BTW – did you see page 7 in the Sport today?

    What's wrong with that? The majority of people here can speak English of sorts, perhaps not fluent but at least they try and it's only by trying that they will improve. If you go abroad you wouldn't be naive enough to think that you can just talk English and get away with it. No, you would try and speak their language plus it's the polite thing to do.

    Or perhaps you're saying that all those English people who have moved to Wales should learn Welsh? Or thiose that have gone to Cornwall should learn Cornish?

    Genesis – what is the the native language of Scotland ? I have lived here 15 years and have heard mostly English spoken, have some familiarity with Glaswegian and heard some Gaelic in the islands. Not wanting to get all political but at any time period many languages were spoken in different places.

    Most countries have an official language, some have two (Quebec, New Zealand) so I think what they are getting at is that you should try and speak the locally spoken language if you live somewhere, it's English here. I kind of agree, I spent six months in Spain and never had to learn the language as there is such a huge ex-pat community, ashamed of myself really

    Don't believe in Facebook. What a strange thing to say. It exists, and has it's uses. Great for sharing photos, and catching up with people you are not in regular contact with.

    OK rephrase then for Mr Bethel:

    I don't want to be on Facebook, and politely decline all those vague aquaintances who ask to be my "friend", as you have to sign up which I don't want to do, which means I can't look at Facebook pages. If any one of those vague acquaintances accepts my invite for live coffee drinking in real time and space I may change my stance.

    (So I am quite right not to believe in it, as I have never seen it, you might all be making it up, better get the tin foil hat on)

    I am waiting for somebody to invent Arsebook, the anti-social networking site… sounds more me !

    Hels – you could argue that there are 4 languages in Scotland – Gaelic, Auld Scots, Modern Scots and English D'ye ken

    I was in a bar in Switzerland listening to a group speaking. They were all speaking English so I joined them.

    It turned out that 2 were German Swiss, one French Swiss, a Bulgarian, a Pole and a Lebanese bloke.

    English is the Lingua Franca which should wind the French up a bit.
