Want to learn languages? Work fastfood in London...
It amazes me the quantity of foreigners working in fast food in London. I wonder if after spending a few months learning English, people go back to their home countries and found fast food empires catering to English ex-pats. All I know is that if immigration laws were tightened the hungery in London would not get fed.
I was in a Subway yesterday and the range of nationalities, accents and English speaking ability was amazing. Not to mention the rudeness of the fat Essex secretary who was getting frustrated that they couldn't understand her. With the level of her apparent intellect, I would have ignored her as well if given half a chance.
So, if you're travelling to London to learn English, a word of advice. Get some experience in fast food and at least you won't have to worry about getting a job when you get here.
In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying a well deserved foot long Sub of the Day, turkey breast and ham. Yum!
