UK, Ireland / The best place to buy a house in the UK [120]

What about Belfast city, wouldn't you feel happier there? I visited there for the first time last year... really enjoyed it, and it reminded me of Glasgow (where I come from originally).

Keep away from big cities.

What a pathetic, bridge-n-tunnel point of view. You really are a provincial dullard... I bet you live on some bland new-build estate and your idea of a hot date is dinner at Brewers Fayre.

Hi Isska... do you want to give us a few clues here? Are you looking for a house to live in yourself, or for one that's an investment property? Wherabout in the country? Does where you work have any bearing on your decision? Urban or rural?

Feedback / CLOSING THE TRANSLATION THREADS [55]

I guess that's the risk that you run when you use a forum... OPs probably act on the first response that they get anyway.

Travel / Central Wings cancel certain flights to Poland [38]

Well, they seem to be expanding the number of routes.

I actually had a bad experience with CW in October: I was in Warsaw on business, and Mr LC came and joined me for the weekend, then we were to fly back on the Sunday.

While I was in a meeting on the Saturday morning, Mr LC got a call from CW saying that our 6pm flight had been put back until 9pm. I never received such a call, and I was frantically calling them to find out what was going on... whether I'd been put on a different flight etc. Nobody at the call centre knew what was going on, and it was only at 10pm that night that I received a call to let me know that my flight had been put back until 9pm too.

It all seemed rather last minute and the words "p1ss up" and "brewery" sprung to mind - but hey, we managed to spend the extra time with friends in Warsaw.

Life / I feel the gay rights movement is constrained Poland [90]

but you must understand that its a catholic country

True - a very valid point, however Spain is also a catholic country, yet things are much open there, especially in towns like Sitges, which have a thriving scene.

Life / I feel the gay rights movement is constrained Poland [90]

I agree that Poland still has a long way to go and that the catholic church does hinder progress, however it is also going to take a long time for homosexuality to be widely accepted.... to prove a point, just wait and see how many homophobic sentiments are posted in this thread...

I see a lot of Polish guys in the gay clubs that I go to here in London... I wonder whether they will settle here in the UK, or whether they will return to Poland a bit more emboldened by their experiences in the UK.

Travel / Autokary from London (Heathrow) to Krakow or Rzeszow [12]

The coach is often much cheaper than flying, take booze because its generally a drinking party.

Really? I guess it sounds like fun for say the first 5 hours, but then I'd have had enough.

Seriously though, you can get a return flight for £40 if you time it right... how much cheaper is the coach (excluding beer LOL)?

Travel / Autokary from London (Heathrow) to Krakow or Rzeszow [12]

Maybe worth checking out cheap flights from London to Poland... lots of cheap flights with Wizz Air, Ryan Air and Central Wings. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a flight for a lot less than a bus.

Food / Is there McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc in Poland? Food survey. [222]

No offence LondonChick.

Not at all.

It'd be good to hear a few positives about Birmingham, as all we hear is London this and London that

Actually I'm a big fan of Brum... (and Jeff Lynne, but that's another story). Mr LC spent a bit of time working there a few years ago, so we spent a couple of weekends there.

I loved the Mailbox / Brindley Place... some really good restaurants and bars. I also enjoyed the Ikon gallery and there was some pretty good shopping too (this was before the new Selfridges... I bet its even better now LOL).

Food / Is there McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc in Poland? Food survey. [222]

On the subject of McD's in Poland, who the hell ever gave planning permission for the branch on Florianska, Krakow.... just in front of the Barbikan? Hideous :(

Pizza Hut - last time I ate there, I was 10 years old. There is really nothing appealing about those places... all bright red plastic decor and oily pizza and bland salad... no thanks.

I really wish that pierogie would take off in London... like a "pret a pierogi" or a Polish version of Leon (which is currently taking over London).

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

Hi innocentlady - I did wonder if perhaps you were the wife, and I am sorry to hear what you are going through.

I am by no means an expert, however I get the impression that this all happened fairly recently, so the feelings are still quite raw. I hope that you are your husband can worth through things.

I also echo szkotja2007, if you are going to be making frequent trips to Poland, do stick around on PF as Poland is a fascinating place to visit. I first went there on a business trip a couple of years ago, and have been back on short trips and holidays ever since, exploring the rest of the country.
