Dear Giovanni,
     Your spoken English is fine! I'm a witness.
I had a private guide at the Vatican Museums (Musei Vaticani) in Feb.2011, who had a dreadful accent in English. He could have been the model for Peter's joke.

     He was also a dreadful guide. A serious waste of 250 Euros. I had requested a serious tour of all the Homoerotic art in the Vatican Museums, especially the Ignudi in the Sistine Chapel (Michelangelo must have had a great time 'posing' all his muscular models!), and the archaeology, architecture and history of the site, and explained that I was a licenced tour guide in Israel. We are known as serious guides world wide. The guiding I received would have better suited a not too bright 10-12 year old. I got to see a lot of things, but would have done better by myself.

Best,
 Joey

Believe it or not dear Peter, my spoken English is much worst! So you can figure out what the listener could understand;D
