I go along with hearing ex pat English accents , I try and ignore and avoid. But I am a nosey bugger, and will earwig conversations to further cement my (probably very false) image in my head of what those English speakers are really like.
Years ago at a French language immersion course, we were getting on very well with an English guy, when we were all speaking very bad broken French. It was one of those courses you had to speak French all the time.
Then on the final evening when everyone was so tired of speaking so slowly and being unable to articulate anything very well, we all started to yabber in English, so i was horrified to hear he was a toffee nosed prat, who made Rees Mogg seem like a reasonable man of the people. He was lucky to get a lift back from the bar by anyone.
