News / How Poles truly feel about their situation in Poland and being in EU? [76]


Its a strange attitude to have. 'We are being exploited for our cheap labour by the EU', yet Poles come to the UK to work and earn far more then they would do working for a Polish employer in Poland. I've got a Polish girl staying with me who is earning TEN times her wages last summer in Poland.

'Money for the roads', who do you think is paying that? I'll tell you; UK, Germany, Holland and a few other countries who like the UK get ABSOLUTLY NOTHING from the EU except the bill. How do you think Germany feels, paying 15 billion Euro's per year to the EU? Raped, definitely. Poland gets billions of euro's from its membership, raid growth and rising wages - I'm not surprised Poles are positive towards the EU because they are not stupid.

Just because it on a web site doesn't make it true. It sounds a dubious story to say the least. Women have sex with black men to be politically correct?... please.

UK, Ireland / London, not my cup of tea [30]

Using the worst summer in 60years as a definition of the UK climate isn't fair. There have been days in this century when temps hit 39C, most of the summers have have 30C+ summers and no rain for months. This year is an extreme exception, Scotland isn't a the best place for warm weather either.

This seems like the best advice. Coming to the UK is a problem if you want support from the state to live. If your wife can support you it would be much better

Look on the internet for a local florist (local to your bf that is).

I used Interflora

I have to agree with this. I'm no fan of the US, but you are going to have a much poorer life in Kracow than Florida and the girls sounds like a liability.

You can open Polish language bank accounts with Natwest. Allows easy withdrawle while back in Poland for instance. Correspondence is in Polish as is telephone banking.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]

Bitter? Well the Poles were very depressed about being discarded and felt lost, helpless.

It directly lead to my father eventual suicide, before he killed himself he destroyed all his identity papers and photographs. It ensure that he didn't exist, vanished, I suspect.

It is interesting to see how Britain has changed, 50 years ago foreigners were stared at, life was dull and poverty was rife.

Now Poles come here and complain about the multiculturalism, excessive money and wild behaviour of the British.

Still find friends in the Irish, though.

The Enigma machine has nothing to do with the Polish army's resettlement and neither does Iraq. Can you keep on topic.

Lisen.

READ THE ARTICLE that this started the thread. The Poles were refused to to march so that it would not upset the POLISH GOVERNMENT, who Britain had recognised.

Here's the whole book.

angelfire.com/ok2/polisharmy

Its funny, you get Polish Poles complaining about this, yet the British Poles called those who went back home to Poland traitors.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]


Something like 500K Poles were fighting in the Russian Army under Stalin, thats twice as many as fought for the West, so what were Britain to do? send the Western Poles to fight against the communist Poles? who installed communism in Poland?

It wasn't the British.

You have learnt your history from the communists.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]


No it isn't, it all happened in the same meeting. My father read a book by Stalin's translator about the Yalta conference. They just laughed at Churchill, they thought it ridiculous that Britain could have any influence in the world. When Poland came up US and USSR ignored Churchill's complaints. The US didn't care, the USSR wanted Poland and they got it. Nothing Churchill said mattered.

The US gives citizenship for foreigners willing to join the US army. That's not people living in the US, its anybody, worldwide can become a US mercenary just by applying.

Travel / Autokary from London (Heathrow) to Krakow or Rzeszow [12]

Most people use the coach to travel to Poland, Victoria coach station is packed with Poles and other Eastern Europeans. I don't think there were any English people when I went there.

The coach is often much cheaper than flying, take booze because its generally a drinking party. If you have additional luggage you pay more, that didn't stop my friend having to site on her bag because the luggage compartments were full - so arrive early. Coaches travel direct to

Victoria from the airports .

Life / Polish escort services - legal in Poland? [98]


Prostitution is legal in Europe. Pimping is not.

Life / Polish escort services - legal in Poland? [98]

In London there is an oversupply of prostitutes, a few months back a brothel shopped the owner to the police because they were so short of customers. They were making so little money they wanted to go home.

There is a certain amount of drugs>prostitution but the vast majority of prostitutes do it because they want to, for money and the sex. I friend of mine liked the idea of become a ***** because she though it was glamorous (english, qualified physiotherapist). I though that was pushing it and I told her so.

A survey awhile back, in Russia had 90% of teenage girls aspiring to be a prostitute.

Maybe the 90% figure is wrong :)

Its actually the "Third ranked professional choice"

News / US dollar still falling... Change in Poland? [37]

The Dollar is in for a long term fall, to what level its hard to say. It will never be as high as in the past, its a structural revaluation due to banks and investors switching from the US currency as a reserve. The US economy used to be over 50% of the worlds after ww2, now its below 25% and falling. There is nothing to support the Dollar, once confidence has gone it will be impossible to recover as there is the Euro which is far more stable and desirable - EU companies still manufacture and export goods for instance. The US economy is import and consume and its paid for by shipping paper that is devaluing.

The Zloty will not stay as high, in my opinion against most other currencies. Once the world recession hits I suspect the Polish economy will be hit very hard as its very dependant on overseas investors.

News / US dollar still falling... Change in Poland? [37]

The Zloty has appreciated because people have been buying it with Pounds, Euro and dollars. They have been buying property because it was cheap and re-repatriating overseas earnings. Property is no no longer so cheap and overseas investors will disappear with the world wide recession. Wages are increasing at home so workers will return and stop buying Zloty's with remittances. Employment opportunities overseas will also decrease and foreign tourist visitors will be down. Polish exports and attractiveness as a off shore location will decrease.

In a recession its the newer, smaller economies of countries that suffer more, because they depend on foreign investment.

You could just make it yourself. I've got a Panasonic Breadmaker and it produces any sort of bread you want. However, you should try shopping elsewhere - I have no trouble find any sort of bread there is.

Yes, you jest.
