Perhaps you could supply some fixed points to aid the numerical conversion. I'm assuming 10 = Jacob Rees-Mogg? 1 = Donald Trump?

4

But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'are' away

Erm? Tricky one to quantify, but if we say Bernard Cribbins is a 10 and a Cheese Sandwich is a 1, I'd say 8.

But as we all know, if you can say "two beers please" which in English is "two beers please" you're as fluent as you need to be.

I have said 'no' every single time of the 107 you have asked. Don't let that put you off though...

Diez y media. Ay up Tony. Just working out the plan of campaign for the Vuelta, looks like we'll be at the finish in Tarragona, the TT in Logroño and a couple of mountain finishes in the Picos, you??

Where would Billy Connolly be on that scale? 15 or so I think.

I didn't quantify the question because this is exactly how I was asked the question on a job application form here in Spain.
I put "10 - fluently" Because I know there isn't anyone anywhere near here that can argue the point 🙂

In real life, the size of your vocabulary - "extensive" or "caveman" - would be important. It's no good being able to pronounce the only 20 words you know correctly if you still only know 20 words.

Hey Duncan - not sure about the Vuelta. Not being in possession of a lovely camper van means our plans get more complicated!

Might head west for a stage though - and maybe visit Pamplona while we're there . . . .
