Life / How to deal with rude rich Polish people? [65]
This is all an old-new money thing. I know some old money folks in the UK and they are seriously some of the funniest, most eccentric, generous people I know. They will quite happily sit and have a drink with a lord or a yob and they certainly do not flaunt their wealth. When Billy Connolly was criticised for mixing with the upper crust in Britain his response was that they are as nuts and funny as anyone he knows.
In Poland there is no old money (unless anyone knows otherwise?) All of it is very new money which, as anywhere, is simply vulgar.
