USA, Canada / What can I expect in Poland compared to the United States? [48]

i have never seen a shower in the kitchen in PL...lol

Have you ever seen a place in Poland without a bathroom, full stop?

Have you ever been to Poland Franek?

Have you been to Poland Franek, since it joined the EU?

Are you basing your assumptions on personal experience or hearsay?

Life / How important is it to have a car in Poland? [37]

If you dont have a car you have to use public transport which, as in all countries, means travelling with the peasants and going where the peasants go

Get a car. Go where you want when you want to go. It changes life

But Dazza is right, second hand cars are a lot more expensive than in the UK, for example, and dont expect them to have cleaned and polished it before you buy.

And petrol is not that far off UK prices either

UK, Ireland / recorded offences in the UK - hipocrysy of some people on this forum [7]

As I've said before I am just to make deeper analise of this phenomen and it is very good argument against some newspapers in the UK.

With all due respect, you may well have analysed something deeply (or was it quickly?) but your argument is feeble. Infact, what is your argument, it's not clear from your post.

Are you trying to use the data on the Home Office website to refute some peoples' claim that crime in England has risen since the arrival of the Polish?

Whilst the Daily Mail is not a paper worthy of much notice, unless you form your letter considerably better than your first post above, they will not only ignore you but you will probably reinforce their negative stereotypes of the Polish.

Is that your intention, or did you want to be taken seriously?

UK, Ireland / Are the Poles in England hated? [450]

Er... actually the above post says that the UK probably does integrate immigrants better than than say Italy or Spain but that its fair to say that the majority of the UK's immigrants are legal whee perhaps the opposite is true for the other two.

Learn to read you bald headed kunnt

You did kind of state that in your post.

I said nothing of the sort. Go and read again.

And I am writing from the UK.

but to state that is the reason we can stastically claim more is rediculous.

I dont think I did, dude.

Like I asked have you been to England lately?

What exactly does that have to do with the price of eggs?

UK, Ireland / Are the Poles in England hated? [450]

Get them to show u some stats, they are misguided

I'm inclined to agree but I doubt stats would prove anything one way or the other. I imagine the majority of people coming into Italy or Spain are illegal and no one has the foggiest idea who or how many have actually entered the countries.

The UK probably does intergrate immigrants better than say Italy and Spain but I think it's fair to say that the majority of the UK's immigrants are legal where perhaps the opposite is true for the other two.

National Express serves 55 destinations in Poland

Immigration is an issue in the UK more than any other country

I wonder if this is really the case. I have friends from Spain and Italy whole assure me that immigration is much more of a issue there than it is in the UK.

Travel / Restaurants in small Polish villages [5]

As Kowalski says, there's often not a lot to choose from in the way of food in small Polish villages. If you do come across a small village that has more than just a local shop then the chances are it'll be a pizza place or something along those lines. Experience also suggests that just as you walk in, they will have a large take-away order and wont be able to serve you for at least an hour.

Real Estate / Crazy House crazy times Sopot [9]

Thats the one spiritus. Its a vicious circle. The owners of the building do nothing to entice the punters inside so those business that are there eventually close through lack of custom. Then there's even less to bring people in. The place is a ghost town as you say, but they still want the highest rents.

It's getting to be the same for the whole of Sopot centre. A couple of key bars and restaurants attract what punters there are and the rest close. And they are building a huge new development there which will need some serious marketing if it is to make occupants any money out of season

Love / BLACK GUYS POLISH WOMEN [809]

I've seen girls in Poland literally fall over themselves to speak to the black guys at the bar. All a bit embarrassing. I've seen Polish guys deliberately jossle black guys on the dance floor. Equally embarrassing. I think one of them might have been G.
