Right in the middle would be Belgium or Germany....
I was personally thinking somewhere in the UK, seeing as English is the only language everyone is guaranteed to speak.
:? But everyone on the forum already speaks English, what's the logic behind this statement? :roll:

because the language people have to use to speak to each other changes depending on where the same people who all already speak english meet? :roll:

Like Corn said, if it's held somewhere like, say, Germany, then everyone should probably speak German or they'll have a hard time getting around. Everyone on the forum speaks English, so getting around the UK isn't as much trouble.

Ahahahahahahaha
Ahahahaha
Aha.
Sorry, for a moment I thought you were suggesting Europeans don't speak English.
Oh, wait you were. :P
Tal, pretty much everyone in all of the EU speaks at least passable English, especially those in public facing jobs such as hotels, restaurants and shops :P

Tsk, I think you're missing his point. He wasn't suggesting Europeans don't speak English... He was suggesting that Europeans do speak English so everyone here could get by in the UK easily :twisted:

But I also see your point, I got by easily in Antwerp without speaking Dutch.

Yeah, but depending on when, getting into the UK might not be so easy. <grins wryly>

Precisely this. Sorry if I didn't get it across well. :oops: I was just saying it would be easier for everyone in Europe to, say, read signs and talk to natives in the UK than it would be for everyone in Europe to read signs and talk to natives in Germany (or somewhere like Bulgaria. ._.).

But all the natives speak English and none of the signs have actual text beyond names and the word 'STOP'.
On the other hand, to go to the UK everyone but the Brits need to cross a sea and exchange euros for pounds.

Stardust recalls many people in Europe not speaking English while she was there. I'm simply putting the UK forward because English is their primary language, and it's the primary language of that of the forums as well.

Now, your euros/pounds argument has a lot more merit, on the other hand. That's enough to make me change my mind. :D That and what Cody so kindly mentioned above. :P

I have pretty much never met someone who didn't speak at least some English.
And I kinda live in Europe, so I have more experience :ghost:

Dino, that doesn't count actually, because your go-to language is Dutch, not English. You would talk to most people in Dutch first, and therefore never learn whether or not they spoke English. :P

I can't go to the UK because I'm a filthy immigrant, and making a visa for an LT convention is an overkill.

Belgium is the best place. It's in the middle of Europe, and Brussels is well-connected to the rest of the continent. And everybody there speaks English :ghost:

Fine, maybe everybody in Belgium does speak English. :lol: I think it's a good idea.

Okay everybody, let's go party at Dino's place! :ghost:
