Life / "I can spot a Pole a mile away" - Polish fashion? [146]

I reckon it would be easy to spot 'noimmigration a mile away' . . . Glasgow Rangers shell suit with buckfast tonic wine stains and a union jack baseball cap (on back to front) LOL!!

and a copy of the Daily Record stuffed in his back pocket......not for the news, just the racing

UK, Ireland / The Changing Face of Scotland - we need more immigrants! [178]

I am a univeristy student

I liven in an affluent area, no poles (even well off ones) could afford to live anywhere near me :)

who never left home to live in university accommodation, so has no experience of the big bad world away from Mummy and Daddy

I am not worried about competition from jobs

Totally naive...is in for a big bad shock
The world is full of educated fools

UK, Ireland / Will Polish names eventually become popular in the UK? [53]

They'll probably become popular on certain housing estates, cos it's continental innit....and there's only so many Chardonnays you can have in one family

They'll be spelt wrong and mispronounced beyond recognition

Love / Polish family involvment in marriage [10]

Is this too much to expect?

In a word..Yes!

You certainly don't suffer from low self esteem.....you really do have a high opinion of yourself....but a very low one of the people who brought the woman you married into the world

I come from a background where men are strongly encouraged to stay as far away from the wife's family after marriage to prevent them getting their muddy hands in all your private business

what culture is that?...please enlighten me

My father in law takes charge and starts decorating with his wife without my permission

Only your permission is needed then, what about your wife..does she have a say in what happens in your house........perhaps your wife asked her father to do it,

because your too busy admiring yourself to do it

highly intellectual and highly liberal man

Haven't seen much evidence of that in your post

When my Polish parents in law visit, I often feel like I am visting someone else's house when I come home. My children don't want to spend time with me (only Baba and Jadek) and my wife is spending all her time with her parents

They live in another country, of course they are going to make the most of the time they have with them when they're here

But I must admit I find the frequent visits by her parents irritating

they pop over when we need some help with childcare.

Talk about wanting your cake and eat it..

in scotland manual labour is an industry that attracts sub humans from the shallow end of the gene pool. unlike poland.

So Polish manual workers are of higher intelligence and have better social skills than Scottish ones?......

my dad pays £10,000 of tax a year, my family have wrked in scotland their whole lives, I have worked full time for 5 years before going to university

On that sort of income, you'd think he would have paid for you to be better educated

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK sleeping in toilets [165]

Where i lived in Southampton the estimation was 1 / 10 people are Polish

Southampton has had a large Polish community since the war, that's why there is a Polish club and church in Portswood
