BBC News article -

The Populus survey found 37% of British holidaymakers always tried to speak a few words in the local language but 29% said they were too scared to try.
It also found that 36% felt guilty at asking locals to speak English, while:

• 56% resorted to pointing at menus
• 45% relied on the assumption that all locals would speak English
• 42% spoke English more slowly and loudly
• 15% even tried speaking English in a foreign accent
