Red face Estoy Hablando en Español , y Tu ? ¿ Que?

Look after living in Spain over twenty years of course I speak Spanish, even though I dont stop learning. A new word, phrase or even more slang words will pop up in conversations through the day.
My engleesh is now slipping a bit and i forget many words in english and use the spanish word instead. I work in an office with three spanish and three english together we have our own Spanglish style of talking, what makes it great is that everyone understands us.
Anyone at whatever age can learn basic spanish, come on every one knows...cafe con leche, la cuenta, una cerveza por favor, hasta la vista, addios, hola, say these phrases enough and your speaking spanish.
Regarding british communitys there should be not be any. What do we want here in Spain , not Chinatown as in Liverpool, or Southhall for pakistanis.Little poland in plymouth , we as british call these type of places ghettos.So why, why? are we doing the same in Spain, with a massive collection of english pubs bars in these commercial centres. The spanish call them "Chan centres"already, you hardly see any spanish in or using them. So why do we do it. Look if you miss England go home. I am not english or british any more. I am proud to be european and have many friends of all different nationalities. We should be embraceing the climate of the mediterreanean , the food , the culture. Enjoying life not hanging around british pubs.
