I've always wondered about the term homophobia myself, but ... afraid of the English? Did he mean fear of British people? Is that an actual phobia?
If it is I know it should be taken seriously but... I can't stop from snickering.

"It was horrible! I was surrounded and they kept using these strange words! What is brill? What is a roundabout?! I need a few moments to calm down... and the tea! Sweet lord, the tea was everywhere!"
