Love / Why do Polish Women Think They Know Better? [134]

Is this just me?

All the polish women I have met since I have moved here are very strong minded and also very quick to voice their opinions. I'm not saying this out of anger but of shock really (actually it is quite funny). I have already recieved so much advice on life, health, work, clothing, business!! It's crazy. And they never move one inch from their view, even if its something you know more about.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal everywhere?

And most importantly, do polish guys think this is easy to live with or hard? ha ha?

Travel / Polish visa - Nightmare! [40]

I have recently moved here and opened my own company. I did not have to provide any documentation before I left the UK. The process in Poland can get a little tricky at times but if your b/f is polish you should be fine. If you have any questions I can let you know where I tripped up.

Whatever you do, do not pay them any money as this is not needed

Life / Car Advertisements in Poland? [3]

Can anyone help with this?

Was approached yesterday and asked if I would consider having an advert on my car in exchange for cash as I have an English car and it draw more attention that most others. It not an amount of money you would turn your nose up at, but this makes me think its a scam. Anyone else done this and if so did it work out ok? And if it did do you know anymore companies who do this as another income is always welcome

Life / My girlfriend wants to go back to Poland as she thinks lifes better there [36]

I have just moved to Poland because of my girlfriends job opportunities. Before I came to live I visit a few times and thought the prices were unreal, of course I was just looking at clothes etc.. But when you get down to how much you spend a week the cost of living here is great. I have a job with an english firm out here and the money is good. A good move I think so far

UK, Ireland / What's So Great About The UK? [416]

What is Mr Brit (lower class) labour worker supposed to do when he is being undercut by cheap immigrant labour?

I used to work in recruitment in England and I had well over 200 poles working for me in various factories and warehouses.

First of all the feedback from the managers and owners about the staff 90% of the time was great. Had working and never complained.

The fact of the matter is companies in England employ whoever is going to work for the least, thats jsut basic maths.

But if you think that if no poles lived in england that the company would just employ english for more money then you are wrong. They will do what so many already have, they will sell there land in england (for a fortune) and setup in eastern - central europe where they have the labour on tap, land is cheaper and even if they ship there product back to england they are still making more money.

So english people are welcome to work in these factories in England but most who would have too prefer to sit on the couch and claim benifits. But without the polish working for this wage the factories and there management positions and all that comes with it would up and leave. And there would be now lower class work left for anyone

UK, Ireland / UK Car Insurance [13]

You don't have to resit, as far as it worked with my friend.

He just sent it off to the DVLA in UK and they sent him one back

Think there may have been a fee involved. Not sure how much though

UK, Ireland / UK Car Insurance [13]

Try Swift Car Insurance

Internet Company I used on my Uk Car and was about half of what i was getting quoted as a new driver. No claims is a great way to get your price down. Always worth getting a Uk Licence as it only takes around 2 weeks to do.
