That is another problem. Britain is an island and suffers from the typical island mentality. Brits, and especially the English, think of themselves as a special race, quite apart from and above anyone else in the world, especially their nearest neighbours across the channel. Having lived in isolation for centuries, they are not used to the fluency of change so typical of mainland Europe. I visited Slovakia last summer and on the 30 minutes' car drive from the airport to our destination, I heard songs on the radio in four languages (Slovak, German, Italian and English). In the 20 years I have lived in the UK, I have never heard any other language on the radio than English.
