Foreigners!

Just wondering, how many people on here aren't fully English, i.e. one parent isn't English?
I just seem to meet a lot of foreign riders in England, and a lot of them multi-lingual.
I'm half french, a quarter English and a quarter Korean, and speak fluent english and french, and alright Korean, but can't read Korean for sh*t!

I never understand how you can be a quarter something?
Oh and I'm 100% English, although I have Olive Skin and people think I'm Cypriot a lot.

I'm Dutch.
I've a german grandfather on my mother's side, a French great grandfather on my dad's side, which would explain my last name. I speak Dutch and English fluently, and could also find my way in Germany or France. However, for the English I blame myself and for the other two foreign languages I'll blame Dutch education and French relatives.

Like 1/4 welsh, the rest English I do believe. Not that it really matters though, if you go back far enough we're all from the same place.

All English for as long as I can be bothered to find out.
Note: I've never actually bothered to find out where my grandparents are from, so I could be as little as half English.0 -

You'll be seeing me soon enough you sexy b*stard, but you're right it as been too long.
Ordered new bearings last night, so should be here in a couple of days. If you could get the pads, I think thats all the material that it needs.

Hmmmmm, all my friends know fluent Dutch (doh) and some English. But none of them speak it fluently really! And I've plenty of friends that skipped German and French after the couple of years that are obligatory. So you must've just met the right people [;)]
I agree with the friendliness and pottery.. however Amsterdam being the greatest city ever is something to discuss. [;)]
