Life / Day-to-day Polish Customs [20]


No.......... Good manners. Polish people have a particular way of making you welcome and looking after you. This is one of the things visitors to Poland remember.


or kiss hello/goodbye. across a doorway that is.

She can say what she wants. It's the divorce lawyer that knows all the tricks. Your man should get a good one.

They can clean you out, if that's what you mean. And it doesn't stop when the kids are sixteen.

The price of building land is on the increase.

Real Estate / "Look after the zloty"...Sunday Times article, property prices in Poland [6]

Frank,

As soon as the time is right... buy a house + land.

Unless you can find another, better priced city, to invest in.

Some say prices went up here because we are close to the border.

When they drop border control in December/January it might be worth having property this side of the German border.

Look into it.

I wonder how much work the wife is putting into this to save her marriage.

Good manners and etiquette.

Kataryna has summed it up well. I agree.

Law / "Difficult Customer" business in Poland [18]

bubbaWoo,

As I said. I don't disagree.

I have noticed over recent years that shop staff have become more polite. So there must be some sort of program in place to teach them. I don't know if it would be cost effective for some stores with a high turnover of floor staff to teach more about interpersonal skills.

I'm not sure if customers are really sure of their rights either.

Law / "Difficult Customer" business in Poland [18]

I don't disagree with anyone here. I just reported what happened.

I did say in my first post that ''Difficult Customer" business is needed.

Please, let's not drag this out in fin T's thread.

I've been through this. It would be nice if security could say in a loud voice... we apologize.


Normally I wouldn't, but in this case, from the reaction of others, it seemed correct.

Law / "Difficult Customer" business in Poland [18]


The guy said something, she stood up and slapped him. Security were standing close by and nothing more happened. The young woman is still working in the shop.

It seemed to be one of those things that just happen. Just an exchange of innapropriate language maybe. It was over in seconds and the other customers seemed to think she was in the right.

To be honest I think it was the right outcome. No need for someone to lose a job because of some a$$hole's comment.

There is certainly a need for it. Especially after watching a check-out girl slap a male customer the other day.

Then don't leave him hanging on the phone. Tell him it's over.

UK, Ireland / What will the Polish give the UK? [58]


new words... new food... new driving techniques... style/fashion.

Feedback / sounds (mp3, wav, ogg) [8]

I disagree. Some people find it easier to base sounds and pronunciation on written examples. And besides we already have an audio/video thread for the Polish alphabet.

Love / What to do, should I forget her? [14]

JWB,

This sounds like a mid-life crisis sort of post. If you are bored in your present relationship, do something to cheer it up. Don't waste your time on something that will never be.

The e-mail, flowers and phone call are a form of cheating on your present partner.

It does seem, from news reports, that things are going backwards in some areas of the UK.
However, when I was in the north east recently, it seemed that social conditions had improved and the mentality of the youth hadn't.

I understand. Problem is... the guy who mistreated the woman comes from my part of the world. And it was sickening to read.
