Life / Customer Service in Poland, what are your experiences? [106]

I found the service in Poland genuine. Sometimes not as good as desired, but genuine. In UK all shop assistents seem to be following some kind of guide book 'How to serve a customer'. Is there anything more annoying than, for example, when you go for a coffee in Starbucks and you need to tell them how are doing, explain to the ones behind the counter why are you happy/sad, or if you dare to change you usual order... oh, boy, than you need to have some big time to spare because they will ask you WHY you have changed your every day drink! Affff.

Life / Poles' tolerance towards other Races [190]


I thought you were just being sarcastic. Sorry for that:)

Life / Poles' tolerance towards other Races [190]


That`s what we call culture. Every place has its own. The catholic church used to do worse things (and still does).


They had no need!

I`m not here to say which race is the best and I don't want to start any kind of pointless discussion. I just think to say that such a race is better than other one it`s a stupid thing to do.

Have you ever heard about Incas and Astecas?? And how further developed their culture was from the european one??? Clearly you haven`t...
There is nothing to do with race or skin colour. You are definitely stupid. What`s your color skin????????????????????

Poland to me is the freezing winter and boiling summer, is the best food in the world, is crazy language, is great snowboard spots, is sweet grandmas, is my future home ;))

UK, Ireland / BBC article on Polish food in the UK [22]

I love polish food. It`s definetely on my top 5 list... it`s just a shame my husband is polish but vegetarian, so no bigos, no zurek, no kotlet ;))) And I`m such a meat eater :(

Excuse me, have you ever been to Brazil?? I agree Zion is a big joke and probably a very sad person too who won`t be happy in Poland or anywhere in the whole world, but Brazil has nothing to do with it. Brazil is a wonderful country full of happy and nice people.

UK, Ireland / Polish doctors fly over just to work in the UK [15]



My friend`s doctor was born-and-bred british I`m afraid.

UK, Ireland / Polish doctors fly over just to work in the UK [15]

Thanks, but some people here just drive me crazy!

UK, Ireland / Polish doctors fly over just to work in the UK [15]


My friend was pregnant and having a lot of pain in her belly. Somehow she knew something was really wrong with her pregnancy, but once she was going to hospital every time and doctors kept saying everything was fine, she let it go. When she completed 8 month she went to Poland and found out her baby had died in her tummy 3 month ago.

bad doctors are everywhere, please don`t generalize!

UK, Ireland / Migrants' advice packs proposed - from BBC on Poles in the UK [15]


In any moment in the article it was said this was for Poles. And if anyone did read the comments below you could see how people think how stupid this idea is.

eg:
My good lady is Romanian, and she is shocked to see young ladies drunk and being sick in the street as in Romania this would result in being ostracized from their community. Perhaps we should have a pack saying simply, "Do not do what you see in England, do what you know is right."

Vin, Stratford

When I moved to the UK from the US, some practical information would have been helpful - how the UK financial system differs from others, how the house buying process works here, how to write a UK-style CV. But the information suggested above - don't spit in the street, don't litter, be sure your kids attend school - is utterly patronising and frankly would be better directed at some of the born-and-bred British.

Zion, don`t get me wrong, but you are married with a pole, aren`t you??? How can you just post nasty things about Poland and its people???

UK, Ireland / Do Polish immigrants wish to stay in UK - long term? [92]


I saw it. It caught my attention why in the program the journalist interviwed every race, former imigrants (idians, africans, caribbean) and not a single eastern european. Was The program was about imigration or about eastern europe immigration?

Again, kind of Daily Mail approach...

UK, Ireland / Do Polish immigrants wish to stay in UK - long term? [92]


Yes, I agree so much with that and I`m happy someone else feels the same what I feel. I`m from Brazil so it`s even worse... when I say I have a polish husband people (specially english) tend to make a pitty face to me assuming tha myself being from Brazil and married with a polish guy we have no option other than live in UK earning " the marvelous pound" . People should travel more and know the world out there...

Life / Cultural readjustment... returning to Poland from the West. [58]


Don`t get me wrong, but with such a good life in UK, why did she go back to Poland???
I think if someone is moving to Poland expecting the same life style as they have in UK, they will be always frustated. Poland is a different country, with different culture, different values and so on. I`m not trying to decide here which one is the best, but I`m from Brazil living in London for now and I realized that in Poland you find things that no money can buy. If you like design clothes, michellin restaurants, incredible night life, celebrities gossip, starbucks and alike, busy streets, don`t move back to Poland.

Anyway, best of luck for you two! :)

Life / Beauty saloon in Poznan? [9]

I pay £50 in London and find the price ok, but you can`t compare prices this way because living in Poland you will be earning in zloty and not in pounds... paying £100 pounds for a hair cut would be expensive ;)
