News / The most useless things in Poland [140]

Inkrakow........to be honest, its bl**dy dangerous driving a right hand drive on the roads here!!!!...when you are overtaking a large truck, you have to put half the car on the other side of the road before you can see to get past it, AND watch out for other drivers overtaking you at the same time!!!!

i live in Canada and we are allowed to import RHD vehicles as long as they are 15 years old. my brother imports RHD right hand drive cars such as the Nissan Skyline and Toyota Hilux Surf directly from Japan.

Language / Names for days of the week and their meaning in Polish [15]

niedziela - a day when you don't do anything ('nie działa'). From the New Testament's point of view.

Niedziela comes from the old Polish word "dzielać", which means "to work". Hence "nie dzielaj" means "don't work".

Life / Is drinking water in Poland good? [96]

In the city people usually don't drink tap water, although it's safe, and some boil it first

No you are wrong Krysia, the tap water is not safe to drink in Poland , this is why people boil water or drink mineral water.

Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2005 (Vol. 14) (No. 3) 327-333

The purpose of this work was to determine the occurrence of toxic phenol, chlorophenols, chlorocatechols and chlorinated methoxyphenols in the drinking water of the Polish cities of Lódz' , Warszawa , Poznan and Wroclaw. In samples, chlorophenols, 4-chlorocatechol, chloroguaiacols, chlorosyringols and 5,6-dichlorovaniline were detected. Higher concentrations and number of chlorophenols and their chlorinated derivatives were noted in summer. Among the most toxic compounds, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol which causes toxicity to humans, including carcinogenicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and acute toxicityin was found in the drinking water of Warszawa (summer and winter) and Lódz' (winter) and tetrachlorophenol in water of Wrocaw (summer) were noted. Their concentrations were above the admissible standards of the EU and the US EPA. In some cases the concentrations of chloroguaiacols and 5,6-dichlorovanillin also were significant.

History / Chicago Public Radio on *Polish* concentration camps [62]

I think you meant to say that Germans were Nazis. Let us not forget that the vast majority of German citizens during WWII supported Hitler's cause and his war machine that sought to slaughter the so called inferior races such as Slavs, Gypsies and Jews.

I have drunk the tap water for 11 years with no problems.
