Love / Why are Polish girls constantly ill? [166]

I think a lot is due to the fact that as youngsters Polish kids are wrapped in cotton wool by parents/grandparents, taken to the doctors over anything from a grazed knee to the slightest rash! And as a result there immune systems are not allowed to develop naturally hence the level of sickness in later life. Even a common cold seems to cripple most Poles. Add this to the fact that they take about four different medicines for the slightest cough and its not surprising that they have weak immune systems.

Life / Polish speed cameras [37]

Drew- I'm not sure if this any help to you but i know some Polish sat navs warn you about speed cameras because my father in law always gets warnings with his. As for if they work yes they do seemingly as well as the bast#rds bk home!!

Life / What do you live in, apartment, house, car? [19]

Drew, I agree with the soundproofing issue even in old victorian terraces back home you can here your neighbors day and night. you are right about being able to build your own house here. I hope to do the same within the next few years and it is certainly something I could never afford to in England

Life / What do you live in, apartment, house, car? [19]

I live in a modern flat which is a first for me and I miss the creaking floorboards!!! Also I miss the high ceilings and spacious rooms!! They build flats here for dwarfs!!

UK, Ireland / Petrol costs, Ford Transit travelling Poznan to Wales and then returning [26]

And how much roughly would the same trip cost in a diesel van??

Sorry maybe i should explain what I'm trying to do. I need to get a pallet weighing 600kg from Wales to poznan and I can't get a quote cheaper than 275gbp (which seems on the high side to me?) So I thought it might be cheaper to borrow a friends van and do it myself.

Work / Would it be hard to work in Poland if I don't speak Polish? [17]

If you want something other than teaching then you will really have to be creative and use your imagination it's not impossible but it is hard.

For sure it will be easier in Krakow and Warsaw than anywhere else.

Good luck.
