ANGELFIRE1 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15330421 Although this gentleman has to be admired for his strength,grit and determination why, after living in Britain since the 60's, does he still need a translator ? Quite obviously because he has never integrated with his chosen countrymen. Regards Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Presumably, being over 50 at the time he came here, he never saw any reason to acquire more than the most basic English skills. (Perhaps he doesn't have even those, but that is not clear; basic English skills, which might suffice to buy food and ask the way to the library, would not suffice to conduct a sports interview.)
