Also, this map assumes that English is the local language across Great Britain and Ireland, which is a contentious claim. If a foreigner showed up in, say, Swansea and tried their best to speak Welsh, or visited the gaeltacht and attempted to order a pint of Guinness in poorly accented Irish, would the locals’ reaction be quite so blasé?
