UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]



I never was expecting this lol I've got a wide experience and I was studying in Padova University ALSO. Just have wanted to be useful here, change your opinion about Polish, I never expect that everybody will be licking my feet (but could be nice:))

Some of my Polish friends got a scholarship here. They were scary of education's level. Now they are grumbling that they've got the same things in high-school. They've wanted to learn something new, more difficult, not only to be the best students, because they just know all the stuff.

However Eurola I think the best environment for me could be the small house in the forest by the lake or by the sea :) and I'm fighting for it:)

Howewer here is a bit like in Poland. Employers don't want you without experience, but you cannot gain this experience without a work. Voluntary is good for someone who don't need to care about bills, food etc. because i.e. parents pay it. However sometimes employers want to PAID experience, so the circle start to close.

It's fantastic idea!!! However I would love to see the list not of your famouse writers, singers which we just know, places, cathedrals, castels which we just know also etc etc . I would like to hear where I can meet openminded and openhearted people, how to understand you, how to be appreciated by you.


Hmmm, you know, it's a bit strange why I cannot find right job if I'm well educated, frequently awarded by Univerity of Education because of my achievements. Why England don't give many possibilities of deserving jobs for Polish? Do you need us only to low-paid and dirty works?

Unfortunately the world is not ideal, so it's utopia and impossible to talking about healthy economy. We, Polish feel that we are only guests here, but we learn English and I suppose Polish guy prefer working hardly then make 5 or 6 children and live from your benefits. Is it true that child benefit is lower for British then for Pakistani? I'm here 2 years but still don't understand a lot and don't know you. Where are those great! (nomen-omen)British we liked? What about famous British sense of humor? Where are all gentelmen younger then 70 yrs? If somebody is opening the door for me in the shop etc I say: dziekuje. Many guys were suprised how could I know they are Polish. Because I've NEVER met English here who is doing it. Believe me, a lot of Polish felt they are going to FRIENDS, interesting, funny, a bit cold on the first sight, but incredibly intelligent.

Sorry, but a lot of us is changed in depressed, pseudoposh, eager for money and frustrated. Polish who I know enjoying UK only in pubs and shops! Why on many sites many English put under: "hobby" mainly: shopping and clubbing????

What about your famous culture? I want to talk about many things, but, o dear! sometimes I know MUCH more then you about yourselfs! Of course I've met brilliant people here, but too less.

my boyfriend wants to apply (we have an application form) and working for the Metropolitan Police. It's fantastic that you protect people, and care about Poles also.

When I was a child I loved Monty Python, Hotel Zacisze (Fawlty Towers), Allo, Allo, stories and movies about Robin Hood (not a bit like our Janosik?:)or Wilhelm Tell and many more. Howeve don't forget we have a knowledge about your history, literature and culture also from our schools and because of private hobby. And we enjoy it. We Polish are ambitious nation, love to feel helpfull and needed and we are also sons of powerfull kingdom which Poland was. My friends who were travelling to UK before our great migration to England, felt much better then now. A lot of Polish LOVED travelling to legendary Albion, because they wanted to discover history, found King Arthur's sword, taste the legend, now can feel made to do it, i.e. economical situation etc. and in the heart they are suffering, because we cannot feel like the partners sometimes and then it starts stupid discussion between us like: polish (beeeeeep) contra english (beeeeep). Maybe we sometimes angry, upset and drunk but never do acts of terrorism against you, cause we don't hate you, maybe sometimes we just feel not understood and no approciated like a nation, like a people, like a workers and like the potentional friends by you.

I'm not sure club is the best place. Oh where these times when people were meeting in libraries?:) Maybe take a walk in any of beautiful polish cities and observe, enjoy, be open to new adventure and possibilities.
