Also, slight TJ:
I am not racist at all but I have a couple of Indian Auditors sitting next to me and although they both speak very good English with my colleagues, they quite often 'Go off on one' in their native language. I think this is wrong but I would be interested to hear my fellow b3tains point of view before I tell them.
So, do you think this is wrong?

about halfway through the night I realised they were all speaking English even though some of them had very limited language skills
I felt, quite frankly, embarrassed by their consideration and assured them I didn't have a problem with them speaking their native languages in front of me

you're talking about them behind their backs on the internet. So it's swings and roundabouts, really.

Nein, können wir beeinträchtigt werden. Mein Deutsch ist noch schlimmer. Ich bin mit Google Translate.
