Opposed to some Italian towns. During my trips there I´ve noticed maybe 10 % of the people I met there speak English. Or if they speak it, it sounds very poor.
yeah very few people speak English in Italy, although i think its better in recent years.

In places like Milan more people speak it, but if you go to smaller towns it can be tricky. It similar in France, the French people are very proud and reject using the English language a lot.

You say it like there's a Hard Rock Cafe at every corner in Italy.
Well there is one in Rome :D

You haven't lived there. You went on a holiday. Those are two very different things.
Yeah you're right I haven't lived there so it could be different but, I do usually go and spend about 3 months in Rome every summer plus I did an internship there so I don't think it will change too much for me. It depends on what you love really. I live for fashion, the Azzurri, and Juve so Italy just feels right for me and I love the hustle and bustle of the Roma lifestyle.

I'm not sure if I'd want to live there, but the only country I would be tempted to leave Scotland for would be Australia, and in particular Sydney.

Not sure what it was made me like it so much. I just really liked the atmosphere of the place and the general feel of the city.

The French were still as stroppy and snooty as ever when I was getting flight from Paris the other day, and that is the ones whose job it is to be helpful.

I'm reluctant to criticize people for not speaking English because I can't speak their language, so why should they speak ours?

I'm not saying that they should speak English, I am saying that typically the French don't like to learn English and reject English words entering into the french vocabulary because they are proud of their own language.
