My girlfriend warned me I'd have a hard time understanding the people in Northern UK; very broad accents where she was from. "How bad could it be" I thought.
I was getting on a plane flying directly into the Midlands to meet up with her for a vacation there. There were two women in front of me, talking. They were from some foreign country. Couldn't understand what they were saying nor what language they spoke or where they might be from.
Soon I concluded they were from South Africa because I could catch an English-derived word every other sentence amongst the gutteral, clearly teutonic, what must be Afrikaans. But eventually I realized what was really going on...
...they were from the North of England, speaking "English," and I couldn't understand more than one of every 30 words. I accepted I was gonna be so screwed without my translator!
Britons do not speak English. They will not accept that American is what the world speaks and is now English.

Close Robert, well done.
'It is freezing outside and I am cold'.
I had to explain that one in french last week.
When I was a common squaddie we did an exchange with the US army in South Carolina. I told my platoon they should feel at home as we used to transport all our criminals there.
They had to give us an interpreter as even the US exchange staff couldn't understand the locals there. Some of us found that using french worked better in a few areas.
Reminded me of my french aunt visiting my brother in Quebec. After two days she would claim she only spoke english as Quebecois was too difficult for her to understand.
I shall mither you no longer.
