Definately Dutch, and fairly simple Dutch too, 'cos I understand most
of it.

I think it's Dutch. Sounds like a southern Dutch or Flemish accent.

That is because they are all Germanic languages. The English, the southern
Scots (they're actually English, although they'd never admit it), Dutch, &
Scandinavians are all linguistically, culturally & racially descended from the
northern Germans.
The Germanic language group is a branch of the Indo-European language group.
All European languages bar Basque, Finish, Estonian, Hungarian & a handful of
spoken-by-almost-nobody languages are from this group. Finnish, Estonian &
Hungarian are all distantly related to Korean. Basque is what was spoken in
Europe before the Celts & others invaded from the east, which was a long, long
time ago ('Europeans' have long lived through much of Asia).
English, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norse & Friesian were once all a single
language (1000 years ago or so). Icelandic has changed the least, & English
has changed the most. So any similarities are not by coincidence. Several
hundred years ago, the English actually still considered themselves
Scandinavians.

French (Frankish) was the language spoken by people in part of upper
[modern-day] France. Most people in France back then didn't speak 'French', as
was the case even a mere 200 years ago. When England was invaded by one of the
factions of the French nobility (the Norman crown), it became part of the
French political sphere.
The upper-classes adopted French (as was the case in the rest of the French
political sphere), whereas the lower classes continued to use English (which
broke-down majority because of their apparent inability to maintain its
complicated structures - to this day English is minimally inflected because of
that crunch). This was the case in the rest of 'France' - the upper-classes
spokeFrench, while the surfs spoke their lowly regional tongues.
People today fail to realise that England was more-or-less a part of France
at that stage, and hence the 100 years war was not an England vs France war,
but a continuation of a French civil war.
The only reason why the English language still exists is because the Norman
crown only managed to retain their territories in Britain, and with Britain's
being an island, they slowly withdrew away from the French cultural sphere.
The plague disrupted England enough for English to replace French as the
official language. Had England not been an island territory, then English
would have been purged out of real-world existence along with the other French
regional languages, by the French government which was keep to suppress
'inferior' languages (this attitude towards the regional languages has
continued in France till the present day.).

We don't need to in order to appreciate the Moccona girl as rendered. She's just
waffling on about some coffee I never buy anyway.

I did German at night school for the best part of a year. Being
naturally resistant to the teaching of any and all foreign languages,
I was as crap with that as I was with Italian and turned out to be
with Dutch. Trouble now is, with the similarities between the two
languages, I get all my German and Dutch confused. Even simple numbers
come out as a mixture of the two now :-(
