True about the reason how you know the name of the Spanish national anthem. However, how man other British residents in Spain do. I'd bet not many.

 

I also imagine, having spent considerable time there, you'd have picked up the odd Spanish word here and there. Again, how many British people who move there can be bothered to learn any Spanish words. Most, a lot like many of my fellow Americans, think if you speak louder they'll understand. They don't seem to get that Spanish people, or any other Europeans aren't deaf, just may not speak English Confused

 

It's only in the Netherlands and Scandinavia where most speak English, together with their native tongue.

And @pgn made me laugh too, his answers were so typically him and my apologies @pgn I should have mentioned that in my post congratulating @Cleoriff. You and @jonsie both have fantastic senses of humour. And always cheer me up.
