I'm sorry, I'm English and you wouldn't get [no reaction].

Meet someone like me: I'll be happy that you're attempting and try to keep my English slow and simple for you.

But it's sadly likely you'll meet someone not like me: at best they'll get frustrated, say "I can't understand you" and try to fob you off onto someone else, and at worst you'll get "fuck off back to your own country" followed by a few choices slurs depending on how white you're skin is and how you're dressed.

It fucking sucks here.
