Right. It might surprise you to know I haven't heard any Welsh spoken in 4 months.

People will communicate in whichever language they feel comfortable. My OH is British-Indian and when we're at her parents she dips in and out of English and Gujarat, depending on what point she's trying to make. Does it bother me? Not at all, I'm not paranoid.

Best thing to do Russ is, pretend you're not taking any notice. and if they are talking about you then you'll see one of them looking over at you.

alright I'm wrong, I'll happily hold my hands up and say sorry to anyone I've offended

Amazing you know them better than I do, considering I've been with her for 2 and a half years.

Of course there is always the possibility that I couldn't care if they're talking about me.

I completely understand what your saying but I just see it as rude. may be this multi culture thing has hit heights I never knew about and its no longer deemed rude.
So English is your first language, so you speak English because that is the language you are most fluent in. Therefore you are more comfortable.

This is just the same for anyone else. They prefer to speak their first language.

No, you just appear to have a strong opinion on this - some others agree with you, some others don't.

You've just admitted you were wrong. I've never seen anyone from the far right do that ;)
