You can buy quite a lot of stuff from 24 hour garages...and they are open 24 hours.....

Food / Are there any 24 hour establishments (stores, restaurants) in Poland? [12]

I see your point , but earlier in this thread it was pointed out that not all places that advertise as 24 hour are actually open 24 hours a day....I see many 24 hour places with a closed sign on them....

Life / Why do poles drink & drive? [82]

In defence of Polish drivers i have to say that i don,t find them to be bad drivers , quite the opposite...As a motorcycle rider i have to say that so far i havent had any scarey near misses from looney car drivers as i did back in the UK...I think the high death rate in Poland is due to several factors...First the narrow roads , with trees close to the road , second , the Polish reluctance to wear a seat belt , and yes the fact that drinking and driving does seem to be more acceptable here...I don,t think the Polish drivers are worse than English drivers , but when they do have an accident they are more likely to die....Drive carefully folks...I like meeting Polish people , but i would rather it wasn,t head on in an accident....

I didn,t actually say the trees were causing the accidents , only that its one of the causes of death in an accident.....You may be right about most deaths being pedestrians , but we are talking here about drinking and driving , a pedestrian is not a driver , unless he gets in a car......

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

Economic migration has been going on since the the first cave men and forest dwellers moved into another area when the bit they were living in got a bit scarce on food....It has always happened , and it will always happen...There is nothing you can do about it....Yes the UK is only a small island , and its going to be difficult to cope with a large influx of people from other countries , but cope we will...I don,t blame Polish people for wanting to go to the UK to earn good money and improve their life...I had eight of them living in my house in the UK , all working hard , and paying tax to the UK....I , on the other hand gave up my life in the UK to buy an old farm in Poland , something i could never afford to do in the UK.....In my case it was the way of life , and the people that attracted me rather than the cheap house prices , but i certainly would not have been able to do it if not for this fact...Economic migration is a fact , and i can,t see it changing....Unless we can clone a new prime minister for Poland and the UK from good old Adolf,s dna , not something anybody wants really......

You mean you think that lots of Polish drivers have almost killed or maimed me , but i don,t mention it in case i upset anybody...Possible , but not everso likely is it...OK..you sussed me out , actually i am recovering from having my legs amputated , after being injured by a crazy Polish driver , but don,t tell anyone , i want to keep it quiet...

no worse than being called a liar...All i did was state my own personal experiances of many thousands of miles of driving in Poland....Unless you have had a secret camera following me around , you can,t possibly know if my statement is true or not , but you decided for your own reasons to say i am lying about it...If you think i am lying then thats fine , but why did you need to tell me this , it does not matter , its not important...don,t let it upset you , its just my words , not aimed at you ...If i could prevent everything i say being seen by you then i would , but i cannot .....

Look Bubba , in the past i have read many of your posts , and thought you came across as an ok kind of guy , i really don,t know what i said that caused you to get so uppity with me....I was only saying that my experiance of Polish drivers has not been a bad one....Maybe i have just been lucky , but i honestly have had far fewer near misses in Poland than i did in the UK...Maybe all the lunatics got killed before i got here , i really can,t say , but i can only give an opinion based on my experiance , and i have no reason to lie about that , what would be the point..?? It may be my first meeting with a bad Polish driver will be my last if i am Riding my Harley....Believe me , i would love to stick up for my Fellow English drivers , but eight years as a motorcycle courier gave me a great chance to experiance the worst of English driving....My Polish friends do tell me that Polish drivers are crazy , but lucky me just ain,t bumped into them yet....Now driving in Russia...a whole different story.....Sorry if i upset you buddy , lets call a truce eh...?

Life / Want to buy Fiat Panda in Poland [6]


There are a small economic car with good availability on parts....The down side is that they are not a good car to be in an accident with , and they seem to rust underneath pretty badly....I can recall two occaisions when i tried to jack up a panda belonging to a woman who had one.There was no place i could find any of the chassis strong enough to jack it up without going through the floor..The whole car was rotten underneath , and was not an old car....In an accident the whole thing would have folded up like a beer can.....If you buy one , have a real good look underneath....

UK, Ireland / Another girl from Poland murdered in uk [63]

It was around 6.30pm in the evening when it happened , perhaps she was on her way home from work....The place where it happened was a dimly lit alleyway , perhaps not the best place for a young woman to be walking alone.....I just wonder if she was from some quiet Polish village where it is probably safe to walk alone in such places , sadly in many cities around the world it just isn,t safe to do this...I am sure the police will soon catch the person responsible , but that won,t bring her back to her family.....Cities are good places to earn money , but they are not always good places to live...This girl like the other girl who was murdred in Leeds was living in one one the less desirable area,s of the city....Unfortunatly many Polish workers end up living in these kind of places because its cheaper , or because they have friends already living there...Leeds was my home for twenty years , and i was lucky to live in a nice area....My small house became home to eight Polish workers that i had to rescue from a dangerous situation in the same area where this girl was killed....Go to the UK girls , make your money , but for gods sake be carefull , come back home in one piece........

UK, Ireland / Another girl from Poland murdered in uk [63]

Please lets not make too much of the fact she was a Polish girl who was killed in Uk , possibly by an English person.....Whats important is that she was a young girl murdered in a strange country a long way from home....She was not killed because she was Polish , she just happened to meet a scumbag who killed her....I made the first posting in the hope it would make Polish girls heading to the UK a liitle bit carefull in a strange city a long way from home , and not to fuel the anti British feelings of some Polish people......I am an English man who was quite happy to have eight Polish people living in my house in UK , most English people i knew were quite happy about Polish people living and working in the UK.....Posting anti British comments on here is not doing any favours for the Poles who are in the UK....Most get on just fine with the Brits , don,t spoil it.......

This was a tempory measure after i rescued these Poles from a dodgy landlord that had used a gang to commit violence against the Poles.....I managed to find a safe place for half of them....Some of them remained living with me.....The first few days we were a bit crowded out , but they were nice people , i had to help....Before anyone asks.....the dodgy landlord was a Kurd living illegally in UK......

Here is an idea for the moderators....Why don,t they put all the Brits who hate Poles , and all the Poles who hate brits in one seperate section.That way the rest of us can have a decent adult dialogue without being drawn into pathetic personal insults that lose track of the original post.....They in the meantime can insult each other without having to worry about silly things like good sense and reasoned argument......

Life / Can you keep a right hand drive car in Poland? [57]


Everybody tells me the same..Unless its left hand drive you cannot register it in Poland..However i have been using my right hand drive UK registered cars in Poland for two years , and never had a problem.......My insurance etc is from UK , and covers me to drive in Poland......If you are planning on living in Poland it might be better to sell your car back home , and buy a left hand drive one......Left hand drive cars are usually cheaper in UK , so you can get a bargain......Yes they do have a yearly insprction of Polish registered cars which you must pass to get it taxed..Its not as strict as UK , and often they will pass it with faults they just tell you to get them fixed before the next inspection........Hope this helps........

I may be wrong , but i don,t think there has been any Polish person killed in uk , just because they were Polish.....Most Poles don,t have any problems with UK people.....A lot of people in UK are a bit worried about the large numbers of Poles coming to England.,,, but i don,t think there is any great racial problem......

Life / Can you keep a right hand drive car in Poland? [57]

I too have seen right hand drive cars with Polish registration , but i don,t know how they did this....Everyone i ask says you can,t register a right hand drive car in Poland , but obvously some people have found a way to do it......If you are wanting a big engine car the UK is the chespest place to get one....You can buy a nice Audi , merc , or bmw for peanuts in Uk , especially if it has no tax or mot , Once its on the ferry you don,t need this anyway....One of the advantages over in Poland is that a right hand drive is less likely to get stolen , and nobody in Poland seems intersted if its taxed or mot,d.....Whenever i get stopped by Police they only want to see my Passport and vehicle log book......Only once did i ever get asked for my licence.......A polish friend of mine makes a living buying cheap cars in UK , and driving em to Poland to sell....He can sell the engine only in Poland for the price he bought the whole car in UK.....Try to get a car thats converted to lpg tho , its much cheaper than petrol......
