Law / Tax on import goods to Poland [8]
VAT is standard in EU countries. Anywhere from 15-22%. UK its 17.5% on all goods (not food, books childrens clothing), buying from a EU country will show the VAT included.
On top of that there are customs duties.
So its not just Poland.

I bet 50 was a UPS processing fee. It depends what teh goods are different goods get different %age .
Its better to use the normal postal system (in the UK anyway) because major courier companies always collect customs/VAT whereas in the normal postal system, customs let lots of goods in free. Supplier has to mark down value of goods for it this to happen
It MIGHT be the same in Poland.

iht.com/articles/2007/03/05/news/web.0305BRITS.full.php
Britain and Ireland are so thoroughly divided in their histories that there is no single word to refer to the inhabitants of both islands. Historians teach that they are mostly descended from different peoples: the Irish from the Celts, and the English from the Anglo-Saxons who invaded from northern Europe and drove the Celts to the country’s western and northern fringes.

you refuse to read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language
Peter, im not arguing with you, im showing you the proof to the statement about the ENGLISH LANGUAGE. The GENETICS of the British and IRISH is a different issue. and one article in the Herald does not change history of the English language

Tigers can be cared for by monkeys, but that doesn't make the Tiger a monkey. Genetically, it's still a tiger. Even if it speaks monkey when it's ahome. Try harder.

Those source quote are now been proved to be wrong. I didn't write the article, I had no input on it, I'm merely trying to get you to read it.
Read the article before spouting off. English came to Britain before the Roman invasion possibly from northern France.
How on earth would a Chinese person get to Poland 1000 years ago? Get on a train?
Im saying that the ENGLISH LANGUAGE arrived in the isles around the 5th C AD.
IT IS PROVEN BY MINDS GREATER THAN YOU OR I
THAT IT IS A WESTERN GERMANIC LANGUAGE
Origins of language are not confined to genetics. if that were so, why do i speak english when i come from Gallic family? SOCIO-POLTICIAL FACTORS
THE ANGLE-SAXONS BROUGHT it from SAXONY/JUTELAND (NOW GERMANY) and they RULED the isles and IMPOSED there language!
Thereby NOT rubbishing what ive said - in fact all ive done is point out sources!
Genetics is ONE factor - which I ALREADY AGREED WITH BUT langauge is a total OTHER point.

Very distinct migrations that you can measure.
Thats exactly where you are going wrong, this is a historical study, when people did not move from their birthplace. Thats why you can use genetics to trace a language.
Forget teh issue of Poland and China, its a red herring. According to that map everyone in eastern europe must be 100% Mongels
How do you explain Christopher Columbus? The Native Americans? Cro-magnon originated in Africa and made his way to Europe, explain that one.

And many British people, especially in the South East have a life dominated by work and a lousy life style. Getting paid more money doesn't male it better, worse if anything because more is expected. Some companies expect you to be available 24-7.

Whats the percentage of people who do a university degree in Poland?
I have to disagree that Maths is a benchmark degree. Its to specialised.
Whats the percentage of people who do a university degree in Poland?
From talking to Polish friend about my degree subject (Maths, which is good 'benchmarking' subject) I get the distinct impression that what they were taught (many years after me) is roughly comparable to my degree but is more advanced than the Maths degrees in the UK today. I am just interested from maybe Polish people who have compared their degrees to non Polish friends.

Battle of the Bulge? Thats when the Germans attack at the weakest point manned by Americans. The British attacked the Germans around the north of the bulge and helped stop the advance.
The war in the west was trivial compaired to that in the east. Number of Soviets/allies kia/captured in the east 20Million. Germany kia/captured 15million
USA deaths 418K, UK 450K in all theatres. The total number of Germanys facing the 1944 landings was 400K. 90% of the Axis armies were fighting Russia.
As I said, the US and UK contributions were comparatively trivial. The US didn't volunteer to fight either Germany or Japan. Both declared war on the US and attacked it.
As Russia would have defeated Germany without help of the US, in May 1945 Russia could have simply driven from Berlin to Paris and installed communism throughout Europe, putting allied troops there prevented that. Stalin would have all Germany's technology. Such as the V2. So no space technology for the USA. Whether even Russia could of invaded Britain is debatable. Th 1940 plans for operation Sealion would have resulted in the destruction of the German invasion force.
The USA involvement was not an altruistic sacrifice, it made a considerable profit out of it. and protected its self from eventual defeat by the commiunists.

Ok, good point. As its not a practical degree though its not necessary a good sign of an education system. Old communist eduction systems were always said to be good for the fundamentals, whereas what might be needed is more practical subject or teaching.

Depends on the course, the University and how much coursework you had to do. My engineering degree was about 30hours lectures and maybe 15 hours coursework.
You can always get a postgraduate if you want. I can't see the point.
yes, 3 yrs, but how many hours you do here per week and how many in Poland, huh?

My A-levels were way harder than my degree. Maths Physics Chemistry, I had to do 6hours homework every night and at weekends.
Some subjects are a joke, arts subjects for instance. Reading a F***ing book, wow.

The allied bombing didn't significatly affect production. What hurt them far more was the reapture of the oil fields by the Russians. The US did supply one thing in major numbers - trucks by the hundred of thousand. In fact the Ruskies had a saying the USA stamped on the stood for (in russian) Fu** that Son-of-bit*h Adolf.
However your claim that the US supplied 98% of Soviets supplies is laughable. Stopping the Germans advance to Moscow and at Stalingrad were entire Soviet doings, there were hardly any supplies sent by that stage in the war. BTW the UK made a considerable effort to resupply the USSR.
