asked if Croatia stamped me IN and OU
At Mali Losinj I have managed to persuade the border police not to bother stamping in and out on the basis that I was just stopping for lunch at El Paso right outside the airport fence. I guess that means the restaurant owner no longer needs to pay Croatian tax on the basis that he is in an extraterritorial limbo! What is called a “Tax fee zone” in the UK.

In my experience, Israel does not stamp your passport any more, and hasn’t been for at least like 1.5 decades now. They give you a separately printed piece of paper which contains the information that would be on the stamp (and more, having a print of the contactless data area of your passport, including your picture).
Israel stamped my passport in 2012 (actually the only time in my entire life where I ever got a passport stamped, I otherwise always used my German Personalausweis identity card for border crossings).

You are obviously quite young 
For those who travel a lot into or out of the UK, the passport will fill up fast. I have to get myself a new one soon, which is an all day expedition to London (the postal route is too slow) and will go for the bigger one, which doesn’t cost any more.
Stamp counting obviously does not work because a lot of France doesn’t do it. In Montpellier for example you would have to create quite a hassle to get stamp. The police are completely not interested.

I’ve just had to go through the process myself: It can, though, be done on line.

In GA terms, yes. I’m under 40.

Why do you have to go for London just for getting a new passport (or do you mean your Czech one?). In Germany every local council can renew your passport (takes 3 to 4 weeks for it to be delivered by the Federal Print though, but you can apply for express delivery within 72 hrs, it just costs more)
There are faster options but I like to have the passport all the time Even the Channel Islands like to see it – but of course it never gets stamped in the UK or anywhere near.
I am still working on the Czech one. The Czechs are asking for lots of documents, certified as original by the original issuer even if that is also Czech When I asked whether this is necessary even if I turn up in person, they stopped answering emails. Great to know their customer service remains at the Standard Socialist Level 
A second passport (EU) will probably not get as many stamps, and would be handy for places like Aero where they ask you where you came from and process you accordingly

I would expect them to expect you speak Czech

Few years ago when I landed to small airfield in Denmark (Kolding EKVD), two policemen came with a stamp to do the immigration check (arriving from Croatia). They were so disappointed that I did’t have passport and they were not able to stamp it that I almost felt sorry for them. They were looking at my ID card, taking the pictures of it, calling their boss and finally left happy because the boss explained them everything was ok.

Or almost anywhere else in the big wide world I understand Argentina, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, Macau, Singapore and South Korea don’t stamp passports. Everywhere else stamps passports, EU included although the US only stamps on entry, not exit.
@Peter, I’d imagine that like the US, the UK would require you to travel into and out of the country on their passport, if you have one. Once you’re out of the country and traveling in countries where you hold no citizenship you can use whatever passport you want. The trick with stamps then becomes to avoid the need to show multiple passports to any given official as some of them get a little uptight when you do.
