Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]

But other than that, walking around in the street is no pleasant stroll. I'm black so people just grill the life out of me no matter what, and if I hold my polish girlfriend's hand they even point sometimes or shake their heads (older people mostly.). In New York people would stare at me, but then if I would stare back they would look away, not to be rude. But here, even when I stare back they continue to stare, they just don't stop. Also, people are rude because they don't say thank you or excuse me (they do but rarely compared to New York and other parts of Europe.) I've been pushed around a lot, I've stood in line at the grocery store and have had people trying to skip ahead of me.

my partner is also black and he was feeling uncomfortable when people were staring at him (us actually) all the time. i got sick of it and when we went to visit krakow i started making faces at people who were staring at us and guess what, they immediately looked away. lol

there are also people who try to skip the queue and as soon as they see a pregnant woman, get ahead of her. i mean: wtf? it`s especially older women who think: `when i was pregnant no one let me go first or let me sit down blah blah` and now they want revenge.

How about I say, if you chose to come and live and work in a country, learn the language...why the fek should we provide you with free lessons? I think that those Polish tax payers get paid a better wage than they would in Poland and those with kids get child benefit.... would you expect something for free in Poland just because you paid your tax?

we have FREE vocational courses offered by our jobcentre in my hometown of gliwice, those are offered even to people who never paid taxes before. that`s how my best friend got a good job in administration in the city`s court.

btw, the members of your government like to drink a lot in the houses of parliament so you can`t be surprised of the decisions they make since they`re drunk most of the time :)

Good for Gliwice and I'm over the moon about your friends new job, but wtf has that got to do with England offering free English lessons to foreigners?

answers on a post card please!

eeerr you asked me a question:

would you expect something for free in Poland just because you paid your tax?

i answered by saying:

we have FREE vocational courses (...)

------------------------------------------------------------------

if you want to complain about free language courses offered to foreigners, about the amount of immigrantsetc, go complain to your MP. it`s easy to blame immigrants but think hard: would you turn your back away from something positive that was being given to you for free?

Whatever, I would suggest you take full advantage of it, after all it is FREE! Maybe I'll enquire whilst in Spain if the government would consider running FREE Spanish classes for us ignorant English...

i would,if i really needed it and had the time. not all english are ignorant. cheer up shells :)

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

i would like to propose advice packs for the british and include:

1. don`t throw rubbish on the streets, use the provided bins and if you don`t see a bin, carry the rubbish with yourself until you see one.

2. when in pub/bar, drink moderately so that after leaving the pub/bar you don`t go around arguing loudly with everyone you see.

3. when using public transport, offer your seat to an elderly person or pregnant woman.

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!

i feel sorry for your friend :( i can`t imagine that happening to me.

i only just recently found out what was wrong with me when i was pregnant. i couln`t understand why i was having such a severe morning sickness while other pregnant women would have gone through it months ago and i was still feeling awful and the doctors here didn`t tell me anything, didn`t want to help me saying it was normal (?), were not happy that i was on sick leave encouraging me to go back to work while all i was able to do was throw up all the time and sleep. a few days ago i did some research on the internet and found that i suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum which is a pregnancy illness affecting only about 1% of pregnant women and is far worse than normal morning sickness. the doctors know only little about it and it pains me cuz i know how hard it is and i know there are women who had to terminate their pregnancies becuz they could not take the severe nausea and vomiting anymore, they were dehydrated in hospital and not being understood! i really just wanted to die myself but i bet if it was men that had to be pregnant and go through this, the cure for it would have been found two centuries ago! so all in all the bloody health system (all around the world) is seriously messed up.

i`m also not particularly happy about the fact that i can`t see a specialist doctor so easily. my baby has had a rash for over a month and i went to see a gp (immigrant gp from somewhere in asia, i couldn`t even understand what he was saying lol) 2 times and last time he told me that it`s viral and is gonna go away in a few days (ok not sure if viral rashes stay for as long as a month but he didn`t even know the rash was there for this long cuz he bloody didnt let me finish my sentence as i was explaning what`s wrong with my son!). well that was a week ago and every day joshie is getting more spots. next time i go with him to the gp, i`ll ask to be referred to a dermatologist.

ok i got a bit pissed off right now lol *goes to the kitchen to get some rice pudding to calm her down*

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

we are not here to teach you english, learn before you come

most of us have learned the basic before coming here.

having to look at their bad fashion and hard faces

i see a lot more english people with no sense of fashion, like wearing pink tracksuit bottoms and jumpsuit, or big bellies hanging out cuz the t-shirts are 3 sizes too small.

hard faces? maybe they give you hard faces cuz they don`t like you?

horrid languag

LOL

our culture

what culture? we are not attacking your culture. have you ever seen a polish person getting drunk in a pub and then start fights with people? don`t worry, that`s your culture and we don`t want it :)

Its not our fault your country is poor and have no jobs

it`s not our fault either.

dont come here and take ours and use our tax moneywe have ben paying all our working lives to pay for your housing benefits and nhs!

vast majority of us come here to work, not claim tax money.

if you have a problem with the polish, go complain to your MP or something. whining on this forum won`t change anything.

UK, Ireland / Polish citizen worked in the UK for 1 year - eligible for an UK pension? [23]

and who do you think you are to be saying these things? if we work here even for one year, we should be getting something in return, don`t you think? you`d be expecting the same if you were in our situation. i`d like people like yourself to stop thinking that we are here only to contribute to your contry without asking for what we should get in return. we are not as dumb as you might think.

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

lol, those guys are just trying their best to intergrate with the british and impress you :) the fact is that such behaviour is not accepted in poland so polish guys back home do feel a bit limited so when they come here and find out it`s ok to party hard, they do so.

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

It's acceptable in England either. Neither is wearing a skirt that's the width of a belt but I see a lot of Polish girls seem to following that trend on a night out these days...really classy!

well, after all they learned from the best.

Of course that doesnt explain the Poles that beat up those Canadian tourists I met around the market square in Krakow a couple of years ago. Maybe they thought the Canadians were British and were just trying to make them feel at home?

they probably didn`t like the way those canadians looked. unfortunately, you get a lot of that kind of jealousy and hatred in poland. you get this in england too.

UK, Ireland / Polish citizen worked in the UK for 1 year - eligible for an UK pension? [23]

Im sure that most Polish people do claim a certain amount back.

that`s becuz if they work here, they have to pay taxes here but also in poland. so pay twice as much tax. it`s going to get abolished soon, the polish government says. so probably won`t be able to claim tax back in the uk.

you had you baby here didn't you so I am assuming you got hospital treatment, you say you had to have time off sick so I am assuming you got sick pay, you get child benefit....Ive paid into the system for 20 years so by my reckoning you have had more than I have!

i got my hospital treatment and i got maternity allowance, have been getting child benefit and child tax credit. mind you my partner is british, so is my baby.

as of my time off sick, i didn`t want it but was physically unable to work. i suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, only 1% of pregnant women suffer from it and i would not wish that to my worst enemy as it is unexplainable how terribly sick i felt throughout my pregnancy. since you are a woman, it might happen to you or maybe you already have children but luckily never went throught that but it`s worth reading about on the internet and the awareness of it has to be raised.

i assume so yes, i may not be correct exactly on the number of years but i'm sure its five. Maybe somebody will correct me but i'm sure you can find out for sure on the net

i`ll do some research on the net mate, thanx :)
