UK, Ireland / Polish people in UK not reporting crime. [26]
I would hope a criminal, no matter who the victim is, should be caught and unpunished. If someone can commit a crime against a Pole then they can do the same to anyone else be they a Brit or however.

You could be working here illegally and it may be something the police check if you report a crime.
how can you be illegal in UK, if you're Polish?

Maybe some of the people who have suffered from crime are in the country illegally, or are scared of being deported, and so they do not want to go to the police.

Travel / Ticket controllers in public transportation vehicles in Poland [24]
On the trams i was on in Wroclaw last week the machines were the old mechanical ones punching through the ticket. Got away without paying once as the machines for buying tickets near the tram line were broken.

Work / I'm relocating in Wroclaw.. to learn Polish and teach English [11]
Merged: Moving to Wroclaw, getting a job?
Thinking of making a move to Wroclaw. What are the chances of getting an ok job for a non polish speaker with a science degree and experience of working for the UK government? I have IT skills, but no knowledge of programming. I can build and troubleshoot computers, physically fit(!), fast learner, willing to work hard.
Am i likely to be only able to be an English Teacher?

Life / Cigarette Smoking in Poland [146]
Just came back from a few days in Wroclaw and i have a hearty cough. Got the same after i came back from Poznan in November. Not good as i am rarely ever ill. The smokey atmosphere in bars and clubs really effects us Brits now we have the no smoking bans in place and arent used to taking in someones second hand smoke.

History / THE POLES ON THE FRONT LINES OF WWII [92]
From what i remember a program called "Hitler a warning from history" which is always on UKTV history, had an episode about Poland. In it there were several accounts of Polish nationals who had joined the forces of the occupying German army and were seeking out Jews and other minorities (gypsies, gays) and sending them to concentration camps and stealing their belongings.
It is an interesting incite into the way the human mind works. Altruism is a strange thing.
Best war film has to go to Where Eagles Dare. Superb
how about your researches of Jewis gold robbed by nazists have you found any

admittedly this link is from 2002 at a few plants have closed down but it still looks respectable.

ancilla - i quite often have texts to my Polish friend go missing. The message received report on my phone is good for showing this up.
Sometimes the texts get 'stuck' and dont get through until one of the mobiles makes a call.
