Travel / Rate of Exchange in Katowice [16]
Hi Folks
I am Scottish & travelling to Katowice airport on Saturday :) I have tried to source my Złotys in Scotland but the rate is very low. The rate was 5.5 or something last year!
The highest i can find (with someone who speaks British) in Katowice airport is 4.24, can somebody let me know if this sounds ok? I thought it was pretty good for an airport, considering the current decline with foreign money :(

If i was polonophobe i wouldn't be visiting the country a few times a year (as that's all i can afford), i am the total opposite, it's no wonder some people are with people like you judging them!
Thanks ForsakenOne, nice to know somebody has an open mind :-)

Just ignore that troll, jeandarren. Rogalski is Polish surname and I know some Rogalski people so I guess it is quite popular.

Excuse me?? My grandfather fought for the poles during world war II, so please do not make fun of him! I have all of his Polish army documents!
If you want to know the real reason why he changed his name to Rogers, it was because he was angry with Poland as they wouldn't accept my scottish gran into the roman catholic community & yes i am Scottish.
Please don't ridicule something you know nothing about, especially when it concerns my family which i am very proud of!
- Another racist trollie? Pretending to be Scottish, but being just a (non-Polish) ethnik, whose own family shamefully changed their name to sound local? I suppose I know what ethnik mob you belong to. They frequently change their names in a foreign milieu.

Law / My grandfather was Polish immigrant in UK; Polish citizenship question [6]
Hi Folks
Can any of you help on how you apply to be a Polish citizen as i am thinking of a move! Does getting a Polish Passport give you citizenship?
My grandfather was polish, please see complicated (lol) details below, any help would be much appreciated!
My Polish Grandfather (Now deceased) emigrated to the UK from Poland during WWII He was a Polish Soldier & married a Scottish woman (my grandmother).
So my father (also now deceased) was born in the UK, therefore so was I.
I have all of my grandfathers documents (Polish army documents, marriage extract from UK) also my grandmothers polish passport.
However there is a further complication as my grandfather changed his name from Rogalski to Rogers soon after he moved to the UK so my fathers name on his birth cert & mine is Rogers (grandmothers maiden name is on father birth cert & also on marriage extract). All of the documents I have have Rogalski . . .
