This blog might get more interesting if I start suffering from senile dementia, but this article on the Beeb website suggests being bilingual will help me stave off that disease more than if I'd only had my mother tongue to help me through to old age. I wonder if that goes part of the way in explaining the hooliganism (surely a form of dementia) in the largely monolingual English?
