You still don't get it. It's not just skin colour and language. You are using your OH to try and argue that the OP could not tell that
someone else was a foreigner, which is a false argument.
It would be easy to tell that your OH had not recently entered the country even if speaking another language. How she looks (such as clothes and hair) and the younger age would be part of how someone would know but again, it's experience and you will know.
Let me say that there are probably many in London who notice things about people less, or are less intelligent, and thus are not able to tell the difference between people. It sounds like you have encountered someone like this and assumed everyone in the same, in a kind of bigoted way....kinda ironic.
