About 300,000 Germans call the UK home and numerous work in highly skilled occupations. But some say their foreignness is now an issue Nicole Janz has lived in the UK since 2009. She completed a PhD at Cambridge, got married and had a daughter before settling in the city and becoming an assistant professor at Nottingham University. Janz and her husband are among the 300,000 Germans living in the UK, a information they have become acutely aware of since 23 June. Janz recalls an incident at a neighbourhood inn after the Brexit vote that prompted her that her accent marks her out from the crowd. After prescribing a brew, the barmaid told her off for failing to acknowledge traditional English remarks. She was bluntly told: We say please and thank you here in Great britain. For Janz it was indicative of a changed atmosphere after the referendum. Maybe I didnt guild in the most friendly channel, but things like this never ever happened to me before, she withdraws. I am more frequently reminded of the fact that I am a foreigner.
