Work / Average Polish Income is 2700zl per month [65]

Also, how can anyone afford the Audi R8, which is advertised on some billboards.

Not everyone here is poor. In fact, there are a lot of wealthy people in Poland.

And a lot of these people realize that they wouldn't gain much by going abroad.

If they didn't have money, they wouldn't be making PL KILLER a wealthy man.

Ten or so covers with a 10zl tip each [a day] would bring a waiters wage up. It's not impossible.

The box set has a lot of extras. I think you will be able to learn from it.

But I have to be honest. I've never played it. I just watch when someone else is playing.

Then you need the Lake District, which is near the west coast and one hour from the east coast. Or as mentioned earlier, Newcastle-upon-Tyne on the opposite side of the country.

You would be within reach of Scotland, Cumbria, Northumberland, North Yorkshire. These areas can be vastly different.
Compare: the Borders with the Lake District or Lindisfarne with North Yorkshire.
