Time indeed Howard.
A few years ago, there were attempts to run Welcome Host courses for retail outlets and one was on welcoming people in several languages, so the customers felt that at least the shops were trying.
A few (very few) did take them up, but it wasn't enough - in fact I think it was deemed a failure.
There was also a small company who had managed to get funding to run free courses for French, but they needed 12 people/pupils to sign up for it and they couldn't even get 12 people in Dover who were interested in learning French - for free !
As someone mentioned recently (it may have been you Howard) if they (the shops etc.)took Euros, it would help enormously, especially now, as there's almost parity.
