History / 9th November 1989: And the wall came tumbling down [113]

Oh and for your question...Gorbatschov, definitely.

I would say Leonid Brezhnev. For failing to notice economic changes around the world and basically sticking his head in the sand ( Which is what russians / russia does best) Hence Russia not making the nessessary adjustments. A decade later they were bankcrupt.

Life / THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!! [30]

and if you have ever visited these areas you will know exactly what I mean.

Sorry I don't know what you mean. Can you please " spell it out" explain. Anyway the polish would have no right to complain ( and i don't think they will). Walk around any city / town in the UK. You will see there is a large and somtimes overwheliming number of polish people.

UK, Ireland / What is the british obsession with Polish workers [39]

The huge problem in the uk, and the most expensive are asylum seekers.

Yes mate but it is not " thier" problem but " our" stupid governments fault for offering them all these benefits. Why do you think they are all camped in thier thousands along the coast of france ( notice i spell france with a small f and not a capital) like some medievil army awaiting to invade. France and Germany are the clever ones " nothing here for you mate so best fxx off". Also and just as important the government make money off them ( at our expense). Not sure how much but per head of imigrant we take in some £££s are handed out by the World Health Organisation and similar organisations. But we the public still pick up the peices by being taxed heavily to subsidise them. So I would say they are a problem but caused by the government policy on this subject. Please forget this arguement that some put across that we are a caring, free, democratic and humanistic nation and that's why we take them in. Sadly it's all down to £££s and jo public have to live with it. It stinks

UK, Ireland / Do you know any Polish war emigrants living in UK? [7]

Lots of Polish ex militiary in Lincolnshire. This due to lots of airbases located in this area during WW11. Basically after the war they just decided to settle in this area. I myself was in the Air Force in Lincoln so know the area quite well. You will find Polish communities in the following villages.

Metheringham, Sleaford, Scopwick, Ruskington, Digby and Branston

Food / Looking for Cider around Poznan Area [16]

Miss me Cider very much...........

The last few times Ive been to Wroclaw have looked for cider. In the bar and also shops but can't find any. Coming from Gloucester I love the stuff. ( the real stuff). Don't think they sell it in Poland. Start exporting it mate. It will soon catch on.

Food / Looking for Cider around Poznan Area [16]

I saw Strongbow in a bar in Poznan...

Sad really. People drinking cider for the first time will be of the opinion that Strongbow is the real thing. Rather than the cheap imitation that it is. Terrible stuff.
