UK, Ireland / Something to take to Poland from UK to sell... [47]

good electronic shops

This is my experience also. My friend bought a laptop in the UK and had a problem when he got home to Slovakia however there was no problem getting it repaired at his local branch.

---

I think I may do it, even if I only make £75... £75 x 5 = 375zł give or take, it will buy me plenty of Tyskie.

Possibly not, Dependant on the manufacturer I'm sure. I can always say if there is any problem I'd be happy to get it repaired in the UK as long as I pay no costs.

iPod's is a good idea always an easy thing to sell on.

My logic is that electronics are generally more expensive for Poles to buy hence why they like to buy things in the UK (with the UK wages) and take them back when they leave, surely I could do the same with something like a laptop and make a small profit?

This is my mates business. He started with very little.

Interesting...

I'm thinking less about starting off a business and more about making a little bit of cash on the side on my next trip.

Thanks though.

sell food... sell enough and you then move on to owning an internet shop.

I'm not sure get it...

I thought most Polish people find English food bland and boring.

Then you spend your profit getting home again ;) ;)

Nope I simply live on the money I sold it for making sure the profit margin is spent on piwa.

;)

Canadian maple syrup

I was thinking more of high value electronics.

I just had a good idea. Seeing as though electronics (especially mac laptops) are more expensive in Poland than they are in the UK would it be a good idea for me to take something over to sell on allegro?

If so, then what?

Feedback / Why are some informative threads deleted and other stupid ones left? [8]

Please define 'informative' and 'stupid' and try explain to the members who posted in the 'stupid' threads that they are...(?)

I am talking about some of my threads. I do often create threads and 99% of the time they are language questions or culture related I do however once in a while create something a little silly. However it is always in off-topic and I am not bothered to see it disappear. I was however at one point on 51 threads (not that I see it as a competition) but now I am down to 33 and I'm pretty sure I did not post over 10 'junk threads'.

Maybe, I am wrong, I just wondered.

Life / Daily comute from Warsaw to Lodz [14]

No I dont speak no Polish been too busy looking for work all the time to learn Polish

I see. Was/Is it very difficult?

If you find a job the pay will be low rent is expensive if you don't need to make a living with what you make here then is ok I need to save up cash those days so ....

Well wages are better in the UK but nobody wants to employ at the moment, I cannot find a job and I have good qualifications. I have had 6 or 7 letters all telling me the same thing...

In the current financial climate we are not looking to recruit further at this time.

You can find jobs with no polish but you will need a second language then English
English is the working language of many places I worked but a second language is also need.

but as I said if you dont mind working for peanuts Welcome to Poland

I'm learning Polish but I don't think I can possibly learn another language too!

I was thinking about studies in £ódź and then part time job then I will have to work only for money for social life as rent is included with the course costs.

Hey cjjc I was wrong about your city sorry

No problem. I think you probably looked at my profile and read 'Carlise' which I only put as it is the nearest big city.

The job is in support anyway I will see if the other offer work out I give you the details of this one .

That would be brilliant!

anyway this will be my last shoot after 2 years here the job thing is not working the pay still way too low !!!!!

Sorry to hear that, I would recommend you look carefully where you want to work...recession in the UK is making things difficult!

Do you speak Polish zion?

Wyspianska

No problem.

Polish isn't the easiest language to explain to people, especially novices.

I'll second that Seanus.
(As a novice myself!)

Work / Polish lessons, how much should I ask? [20]

polishtutor.com

$30 Quoted on the above site. I think it depends on if the lessons are in person or over the internet and if you will supply homework and learning materials etc.

That sounds great.

I work in IT too or I have done in the past, I mainly do hospitality management but I know hardware and all Windows and Mac OS's like the back of my hand.

I looked into some flats and there is a woman on here who has one ready shortly.

I can give you the contact details if you want. I also know the city to a degree.

My home town? You mean Ambleside?

Sorry I should have been specific, I meant what job are you doing in Lodz...I only ask because I would love to move to Poland (to Lodz) but work is difficult and I assume you are English and I wondered what you do.

:>

I have alot of friends in Lodz, I'll be back there in 2 weeks. :)

I can't really help with the question except to recommend you take a laptop and watch movies/study something/listen to music.

Life / List of Polish movies on DVD with English subtitles [30]

Wyspianska

I will answer, because I have just downloaded several Polish movies. I downloaded them from bittorrent (file sharing network-illegal) do so at your own risk:

Anyways I recommend either:

To nie tak jak myślisz, kotku!

or

Lejdis

I thought they were both amusing in parts.

You can get English subtitles from many sites.
