UK, Ireland / British taxpayers pay homeless Polish to go home. [184]


(Quoting myself now - how sad! lol)

I've been thinking about it and I have worked with many, many nationalities over the years but I have never worked with anyone from Germany and I know no one I know has ever worked with a German. Is there a reason for this? Surely Germans travel too???

I currently work with - English, Irish, Scottish, Polish, Romanian, Czech, Hungarian, French, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Chinese, Thai, Indian and a New Zealander and thats a small business.


If I typed the foul language I used after reading this post I would be barred for life - believe me! teashoci, trying getting out of your Glaswegian borders and blinkers before you comment on anyone else!

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]


Got agree with Daisy - especially if teashoci is making the same remarks to these people as he is on this site!

At the end of the day there is always going to be people who think that having Polish people in the country is a negative thing and they'll be racist towards them and they'll make comments here about them and how they should go home etc...

But then there is the people who are more openminded and can accept working and living with people from other cultures and, for the most part, enjoy it and enjoy learning about other people.

Love / OK then Girls, whats good about the Polish lady?? [46]


didn't think that, but if you're like me you just aren't ready. You'll know when you are ready - I'm pretty sure I will!


I'm 28 now! But I just think that if I do the marriage thing in next five years and a kid follows then I'm ok. At the moment I just think of marriage as stifling! Don't know why as such!

Love / OK then Girls, whats good about the Polish lady?? [46]


My word! Someone else! I also can't even consider thinking about marriage etc until I am in my thirties and my friends all think I am nuts! They cannot understand why I want to wait!

Good! :-) I think we can accept you as one of 'the best'. :-)

Well said Bunia! :-)

I don't think you got abuse Tornado but if you read over some old topics you'll see that this topic about Polish women repeats itself. Probably your original topic post was innocent enough but there have been so many that there are a few who are getting sick of this constant questions about why Polish women are different or what is good.

I don't believe that this has anything to do with the subject title of your original post

Sometimes its best just to answer with humour! :-)

(PS The scary thing is, I actually know a girl who came to the UK as a Thai Mail Order bride).

Work / Work Ethic of Polish Workers [19]


Untrue

Work / Work Ethic of Polish Workers [19]


from my experience in my workplace Poles are not taking jobs from other people but are, in fact filling vacancies that local people (who are apparently crying out for a job) are not interested in (for example - kitchen and domestic duties). As these are the lowest paid jobs in my workplace I would not be surprised if some of them felt they had to take on another job to earn enough money to live. I get a good wage and even I am considering taking on a bar job to suppliment what I already earn.


I agree with that to a certain degree. However, from what I understand from some Polish friends, they spend their days off better - like visiting places etc. Whereas I might be quite inclined to go shopping or cut the grass!

So I would imagine you wouldn't want to be considered as 'Al Bundy' :-)

Love / Are men more unhappy about being single than women [47]

I'm not entirely sure about this. His family took the crap out of him.

Love / Are men more unhappy about being single than women [47]


Yes. I would be happy to be with someone permanent but then again, I am happy being on my own for the most part!

Love / My Polish boyfriend never says 'l love you' to me, what should i do? [93]

Moire - I've just read this for the first time. Your guy never said he loved you, so when he proposed, did he tell you he loved you then??? I would sincerely hope so! If he did, has he said it since???

If you didn't call him or text him or email him would there be any contact other than MSN???

I sincerely wish you well if this the relationship you want and it works out, you haven't said anything about it since May so I hope that things have changed since then and he is more verbally attentive. If not, then you must find another guy.

UK, Ireland / Unemployed due to Polish who work in the UK [126]

LOL

And I'm laughing at that Pete guy because choice now, is better than its ever been (even in Sainsbury's!).

UK, Ireland / Unemployed due to Polish who work in the UK [126]


You must have been on some wage if it covers the employment of two Polish people (even on minimum wage!).

I think its fantastic that many shops are stocking Polish food. I have to say, its absolute rubbish that the choice is limited now in shops. Think about the food you actually eat Pete, I'd be willing to bet that over 50% is not of English origin anyway. Do you eat Chinese, Indian or Mexican? Do you eat Pizza? Well, that's of Italian origin just like pasta etc. Kebabs are not English. Use your Internet connection for a better purpose and find out what you're talking about!

And, I am not normally this mean, but if you are really without money and facing eviction then you could probably save £30 a month by cancelling your Broadband connection!

UK, Ireland / Polish Food in Edinburgh [29]


Its called The Pine Tree Bakery, I have just been reading about it!

"Retail and wholesale craft bakery products including bread, rolls and cakes. All products are based on traditional Polish recipes and made on premises by a master baker. We only use flour imported from Poland. Free of all additives, chemicals and preservatives."

This is a quote from Edinburgh Council Website.

is an article from last year about the beginning of Polish shops in Edinburgh including restaurant Bigos

UK, Ireland / Polish Food in Edinburgh [29]

Why the suspicion?

As it is, she is half Polish and half Australian. Edinburgh will be the first city she visits on her arrival in the UK. She will visit Poland later in the year but up until then she is very keen on sampling much traditional Polish food and hospitality.

Indeed, she will be sampling the food of other cultures and has found a Kurdish restaurant in Edinburgh called Laraz - I will likely be joining her in Edinburgh and she wishes me to go to this restaurant so if anyone has heard of it - opinions?

Thanks szkotja2007, this is most helpful :-) I believe the prices are very reasonable as well?

I'm glad you suggested this. I read a good review about Bigos just a few moments ago and was about to recommend this place to her. I was going to ask people to give their views on this place if they knew of it.
