News / English vs. Polish hostility [323]

There is a similar rule here.

No doubt. Here though, people operate outwith the rules. I know tradesmen and I know a friend of mine had her heating put in by an engineer who was not registered, yes it was very cheap, but I think that's a stupid chance to take.

corgi registered if your a plumber.

No you don't. It's advisable to register yourself though.

Quite honestly, as a tradesman in this country, you can generally work without being registered to anyone.

sorry PD if your working with central heating your going to be dealing with Boilers etc, for this you need to be corgi registered

It is advisable to take on a Corgi registered plumber/heating engineer, yes. However, there are companies who are not registered who fit heating (and they are British too). Take my word on this.

Edit: it's just finished.

lol, I won't bother looking for it then... :)

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

Is that why the last company I worked for sacked a load of brits

So why is that the Polish nation's fault? I'd be blaming your previous employer and their greed at saving a bit of money!

There are too few homegrown tradesmen now..

This is correct. It doesn't seem that way when you pick up a Yellow Pages and can find hundreds of plumbers, joiners etc but the truth is, there is a shortage.

know dolly but we should only let the people in to work in our country who have the adequate skills to do so,

No, because you could work as a plumber in Poland but come to Britain and take a job as a kitchen assistant. It's a grey area. I'm not truly sure how it works here but I don't think there's a rule saying you must be up to a certain standard to work your trade in UK. You can ask anyone to fit your new central heating, for example, they don't have to be Corgi registered. It's a risk that the consumer takes (to save a few pounds).

yeah and specially all Poles o.O

I know. He forgets that there are thousands of people in this country who come from other countries (other than Poland) and who are working - so why isn't it their fault as well?

I'm not really arguing with you T. The point is this, people are complaining about the standard of work from Polish tradesmen but they are filling a gap created by the lack of interest from British people. A lot has to be done to encourage young Brits to pick up a trade.

It's getting to the point where I would gladly give my own life to bomb the mother *******!

Nice. Blame another race of people for all your problems, nothing to do with you of course. Couldn't possibly be your own fault that you don't have a job...

Solution to your unemployment - join the army, let them deal with you. If you lasted 5 minutes that is...

many trained and very good builders, plumbers, electricians, brick layers, roofers etc

It's true that there are many tradesmen but also true that there are many, many more required. Apprenticeships are not being picked up as they were before. So there is a gap in the market which, whether it's popular or not, is being filled by Polish workers.

the only thing growing in Manchester is gun crime and rape

Not unique to Manchester I'm afraid.

Manchester is great......and so are the people

It's a nice place I'll give you that but I haven't been down in a while. I remember a pub near the MEN Arena that was built into some arches. That was a visit from a while back. Is this pub still there?

I know, I know. I think I would hated it right from the start.

Although, I have a new hairdresser and she's quite eagre to put some blonde in. I think she was politely saying "PD, your greys are really starting to show" :)

I've never dyed my hair. As a kid I had the blondest hair ever. Over the years it's changed to dark blonde/almost brown. I know you were having fun :)

And I'm glad you added that "personal experience" bit at the end. :)

Personally i prefer brunettes to blonds, don't get me wrong they look all sweet and all just a bit airy fairy sometimes, i prefer brunettes on the whole as they seem to have a personality trait that i adm?re/like.

EH?

I have been blonde and brunette in my life and always been the same person so I just don't get this at all. BTW my current hair is natural and is dark blonde/almost brown (depends on the light :) so where the hell do I fit in?

edit the title with both languages in it?

Then what would be the point of the post?

My example was that if you don't speak much Polish and someone said "Jak sie Masz?" you could come here and type that into the search and the search would show you this and the thread it had been translated in. Therefore you could click on that and get your translation without having to start another thread.

It would work for a lot of phrases here.

However, if you got a longer message, unique to you, you'd probably want to start your own topic and then the title would have to reflect the content of the post.

yes.. but not the english term.. that would actually be functional but i guess that's too much, eh?

but if it's been translated here, it'll show up in the results.

If you type something Polish into the search and it's on PF somewhere, it will show up in the results.

think it's funny that admin wants the titles to have some of the message body in them in their respective languages..

I think that goes back to topic titles and them reflecting the content of the post.

hope the search function also tranlates.

Why would it need to?
