Life / Polish people vs English language [42]
Over the past couple of years there has been a large influx of Polish people here in my city of Liverpool. I can relate to what you say. There tends to be a lot of Polish Men who are bus drivers here. I got on a bus last week and asked the driver who was Polish if the bus went to a certain part of town. He couldnt answer me as his Englsih was not so good. I for one minute dont think that it was the drivers fault at all. Infact the man in question looked embarrassed and I felt his frustrations. The bus company shoud pay or any company for that matter should pay for English lessons for their staff which should be funded or at least subsidided by The Goverment.
Communication leads to Coperation.
Ps. Infact I thought the whole incident was rather amusing. :-)
