UK, Ireland / for polish people in uk-do u find it easy to live in this country? [19]


i must say i have accomodated myself quite fast over here as well. its a good place to be and the life standard is so much higher. plus like you i only miss my family really, nothing else. i learnt so much since ive been here and it gave m a huge confidence boost that i managed to survive all by myself in a foreign country. i dont really think about coming back to Poland, things arent looking great over there just now and id miss the money ;). plus im engaged to a Scotsman now and id miss him too. A wee bit ;).







damn, thats just how i feel! thats EXACTLY how i feel, i didnt think there were many Poles NOT missing Poland and always moaning about being in the UK. I kind of felt bad about being so happy and independent here and not wanting to go back, but hell its true, theres nothing in Poland i wanna permanently go back to. Good luck to you guys!

Love / i love you -why say it if you dont mean it [56]

i wouldnt go to bed with a bloke who told me he loved me and just because of that, but i know some girls do. and its so true that in a relationship men say 'i love you' to shut women up or calm them down when theyre angry. it very often works lol. they also think that this is what we want to hear so they say it even if they dont mean it... men are like a different species, no matter what nationality they are :P

Love / i love you -why say it if you dont mean it [56]


oh yeah men sure lie a lot just to get away from us or explain why they got away from us lol. i prefer if a guy is honest with me, rather than making up all those stupid little lies to 'make me feel better'. its so unnecesary. so saying 'i love you' if you dint mean it isnt a big lie?

UK, Ireland / Polish greeting cards - do Poles in in Britain buy them? [19]

that's a cool idea, i was actually looking for some Polish Xmas cards online today, im sure my British friends would love them even if they didn't have the translation bit haha.

Love / I reckon I've met a right plonker here - your thoughts please [44]

i'd call him a time waster. if he's making up all this crap and trying to justify his actions by making up even more crap then he's just wasting your time. moving on! :)

UK, Ireland / Do polish people honestly think its a better life in the uk? [17]

i find it much easier here. i have a full time job, live just round the corner renting a room (but have use of all the house etc.), after i pay rent i have plenty to go around with. ive been here nearly 3 years and to me coming back to poland permanently would be like a step backwards, id miss the money. i cut down on going out a LOT as that is quite expensive here, but i do treat myself for other things. i know living in uk is expensive but salaries are good enough to pay for it and have a decent, comfortable lifestyle. the minimum wage for over 22s is now someting like £5.50. i know some people struggle here but that is mainly because their english is poor or they are not working 'legally' without national insurance. im not saying that finding a job is easy, not now with all eastern-europeans coming over everyday and employers becoming more and more picky. people who are queuein up for national insurance number interviews are being made to wait for months and not all employers are happy to take you on with just a temporary one. if your english is bad but you still think you will have a better life in britain - forget about it. i think that its much better to stay in your own country and try improve it because its easier as you at least understand the language and have family or friends. risking everything just for a dream about a new life hundreds of miles away from your home land is just too much of a gamble.

Love / how do you tell a polish guy he's sexy?? [54]

Hmmm, what to say if he's a soldier??

Love / how do you tell a polish guy he's sexy?? [54]

UK, Ireland / Sending a parcel to Poland from UK [30]

you just go to your post office, they weigh it for you and you fill in the customs sheet and tell them approx. how much its worth. its easy peasy. you shouldt have any problems or any dodgy stories happening.

Love / IDEAL POLISH GUY [25]

Love / IDEAL POLISH GUY [25]

Love / IDEAL POLISH GUY [25]

well my fiancée doesn't have that but in my opinion it doesn't make him less attractive and desirable ha ha

Love / IDEAL POLISH GUY [25]

seen a couple like that on a day out (live in hampshire uk), the girl very pretty, slim and fashionable, the guy shorter than her, shaven head and real stocky in a leather jacket. guess what they were polish.

Love / My girlfriend thinks she's pregnant! Pomocy!! [75]

pregnancy tests are about as accurate in telling you whether you are pregnant or not as the Pill preventing you from getting pregnant... If your gf thinks she might be having a baby, she should get one of those tests from your local pharmacy and use it first thing in the morning (the result is the most accurate for women in early stages of pregnancy if they do the test first thing in the morning) and then again few days later. all instructions will be on the label. been there done it, but turned out i was just being paranoid... if you DONT want the baby, waiting for her belly to grow is the stupidest thing you can possibly do, then it will definitely be too late to do anything about it.

Love / My girlfriend thinks she's pregnant! Pomocy!! [75]

ok ok so he is a wild spirit, but if you dont wanna use condoms you take te pill. simple. and if you forget to take one, you use condoms again. all you gotta do is read the label... and tell your partner you forgot one so you dont end up with a situation like that. cant blame him for his womans mistake. she a wild one too, java? :P

Life / Biedronka - retail chain in Poland [48]

my close friend in Malbork works in Biedronka. she's full time, but NOT ALLOWED at least half an hour lunchbreak, think she only gets a 10 minute break in the morning so she reduced herself to snacking on candy bars as she works... going to the toilet is a big problem too, because as you know Biedronka is a very popular store and always busy, and the clients tend not to be forgiving if they have to wait 5 seconds, not mentioning 3 minutes... she says it's hell and she already gave them notice so she will be outta there soon... i like to shop in biedronka though. They made a documentary about Biedronka treating its employees that way a few years back... and of course when you go to Biedronka everybody will be smiling at you and saying dzien dobry. thats their job. they get checked if they smile, say hi or ask if youre interested in the latest offers. if they dont do that they get sacked. so yeah, that is what i heard about Biedronka, dont be mean to me now;).

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

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


you named yourself after the Co-op by any chance? that is SO cool.

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


i am quite fresh on the forum yes, but i lived in UK for 3 years now. dont worry, im not gonna go in a huff and leave cos of mr. coop, it would take more than that to get rid of me. i wish him good luck with his 'research' and his fiancee. i must say though, i havent came across people who were racist towards me since i arrived in England. Not once, but i am aware a lot of Brits and Americans do have a problem with us. Anyhow, thanks for caring! Just please dont call me a child... ;P

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


aww cheers, i would like to go back and finish uni, but im engaged to a Scottish guy and i dont wanna leave him, hes not too keen on moving to Poland either... i dont mind being here, and i can always visit Mom and Dad every few months ;)

Love / friendhship with polish girl [63]


that is so true! Polak Polakowi wilkiem. i had a terrible experience living with a bunch of Polish people for the first 9 months since i came to England, and i heard many stories from other Polish people i met over here.

Sadguy im really sorry to hear how your lady friend is treating you. I think you should get her to sit with you and have a chat, tell her how uncomfortable the situation has become and that you miss being friends like you used to be. Maybe because her life has changed so much and now she can afford to go out (and meet new men), she forgot to appreciate you. I know what i was like as soon as i got settled here, i was a proper party animal and i didnt care what anybody else thought about it... Dont wait untill she comes to you, go to her. Thats what i think...
