Do you speak English?

Post by Wynette: When we start to talk to someone who we are pretty sure isn’t Spanish, the tendency is to greet them in English but I hated to just assume they spoke English. (Although nearly everyone does. The Latvian woman we met spoke fluent English.) Today I decided to ask before launching into conversation with the men above: Do you speak English? The answer was, with a laugh from the man on the left, I am English. He was from Cornwall which, he said, is a lot like what we are walking through right now. (The man on the right was German and he spoke fluent English as well.)
