Its strange that there arent many Poles who live in the UK on this Forum [102]
You are a gem, Justy. A rare breed that doesn't constantly harp on about the need to have Polish language as the main one. People like enkidu only want to hear inane drivel about work, money and the self-piteous woes of the day. It would appear that he doesn't care too much about a more international perspective on 'things Polish'.
Quite a few native speakers here have Polish connections, enkidu, and it was stupid of you to just assume otherwise. Have you looked at a map, lately? I think you'll find that Poland is at least twice as big as GB. 'A matters'? What's it to be, one or many? As much as you'd like to think it isn't, Poland is very much a country of discusssion in some circles. Many have Polish roots.
Justy, as ever, is right. In my experience here in Poland, given a chance for open and non-directed conversation, it isn't long before the gripes and groans about money set in. Is that what you want, enkidu? Look around the forum and see the variety, a variety that Poland and Poles are very slowly realising. I can't have many serious discussions with quite a few in Poland as they don't know things which are common knowledge to most other countries in the world. The number of blank faces I have received which almost made me fall over is incredible! This is not the fault of many Poles due to limited travel and exposure opportunities under communism but too many have been slow off the mark.
