In the mid 70s I visited Amsterdam and was very impressed by the standard of English spoken by pretty much everyone I spoke to. It was so easy to find our way around just by stopping a random person and asking for directions, the responses were invariably clear and grammatically correct. Anyone patronising you about your English should reflect on their ability to speak any other language!
