As someone who also lives in the UK, I'd be skeptical of that claim. People over here do learn foreign languages in school, but a lot of the time they don't exactly do well at them, and a decent percentage of the population only speaks English.

Your claim is a lot more accurate of continental Europe though, since English is so widespread that people there have to learn both their home country's language and English for ease of communication/business reasons.

Can I just say how honoured I am to live in the same country as CM30? I know it sounds stupid, but I am.

Oh, believe me, I would be too. He's like a real-life Jonathan Joestar

I'm now googling who Jonathan Joestar is

Oh hoh hooooo homieee you're in for a treat

Some... karate guy from JoJo Bizzare Adventures? Don't see the connection.

You will if you read all of Phantom Blood (Part 1), then start in on Battle Tendency (Part 2). And yes, I do recommend reading the manga before watching the anime, it makes seeing the story be animated more satisfying.

Don't see the connection between CM30 and Jonathan Joestar. Plus why would anyone want to be compared with the worst and most boring Joestar anyway?

The similarities: Mr. Get Things Done, heart of gold, good role model for young children, all-around innocent man cinnamon roll, also how fucking dare you
I know English (DUH), and am semi-fluent in Spanish.
