"If you go to Amsterdam, thoroughly recommend taking the train out to Utrecht.
Bit like Brighton in some ways - small, attractive and some decent nightclubs. Barely anyone there speaks English, but that shouldn't be a problem ..."
You obviously mean nobody speaks English in Brighton cos Utrecht is university city and 99% speak extremely good English (I have spent a lot of time there).
However, if you want a departure from Amsterdam, although Utrecht is nice, Leiden (where I live) is even nicer. Check out www.leiden.nl.
And yes, they speak English
