Travel / Getting from Wroclaw Airport into Town [23]

Take bus 406 to the city centre

When i was in Wroclaw (January) i took this bus to the city centre and then got a taxi from the rail station to the Qubus hotel. Taxi was 20 zloty but from the train station you could walk it in about 15-20 minutes. Hotel is good with a nice short walk to the rynek or Dominika.

Life / Street racing in Poland [15]

However, news reaches us that police in Lodz, Poland's second city, plan to cordon off sections of the town at night to allow street racers to compete without speed limits.

UK, Ireland / The Daily Mail's Swans Are Back [29]

in fact I dont fcuking know of any fish that's protected

The rarer fish in the UK are protected species such as the Vendace, Burbot and Powan. Sturgeon in UK waters are also protected by law, technically they are owned again by the reigning monarch.

Contrary to Shelley's opinion the water quality in most rivers in Engalnd and Wales is actually pretty good and many of the fish are good eating and perfectly safe to eat. Species such as Pike, perch, carp and zander are all good if prepared correctly. Just remember that there is a maximum of 2 fish to be removed a day.

Trapping crayfish in England and Wales is illegal unless you have a permit from the Environment Agency due to the native white clawed crayfish being under threat. So do not go down to your local river and do this without a permit:

Supposedly the best way to get seagull is to put 'alka-seltzer' in a piece of bread and give it to a seagull. Due to there inability to belch/burp/flatulate something inside bursts and they die!

UK, Ireland / Living and Studing in the UK? [3]

From what I have looked up, prices for a 1 bedroom flat, range from about 500 to 700 pounds per month, is that right

Depends where you are thinking of studying. 500 pounds will get you a small house in most towns and some cities (NOT London).

UK, Ireland / Immigrants in Peterborough [9]

High wages have drawn scores of Eastern Europeans to at least one corner of England. But not everyone welcomes this new workforce even if unemployed locals themselves refuse to do the same jobs.

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7288430.stm

Quite an interesting read. The only people who come out looking bad are the work shy 'British' chavs

UK, Ireland / National Holiday To Celebrate Britishness Could Be On It's Way [83]

Another holiday is needed in the UK. We have fewer national holidays than most of Europe and why not celebrate being British.
No im not english, im British, never called myself English but then its probably a class thing.

it's only the English that are happy with the title "British

Im English and im more than happy to be called British. Hate to be called English.
For me and most of the people i know, being English is associated with drunken louts and chavs. Being British is more about stiff upper lips, crumpets on the croquet lawn and tweed.

ShelleyS

Im afraid i disagree all of what you have said. Theres a type of tea called 'English Breakfast tea' doesnt mean the act is called that and it never has anywhere i have been. Never heard of English tea cakes, just tea cakes, (have heard of English breakfast muffins, love those!) and when people talk about louts abroad they usually say English as that is the typical attire they wear --> England football shirt and England flag. Brits abroad are usually classed as ex-pats in my experience.

UK, Ireland / Gang attack Polish man with knife [87]

Comes as no surprise. Boston isnt a nice town. Its a place with a high number of immigrants from all over the World; Poland, Russia, Portugal, Iraqis, Kurds etc. Some pubs have signs up stating "No English" on the doors. Large scale fights between the various nationalities especially the Kurds and Iraqis occur on a regular basis.

Lots of BNP support among the white working class. Most work is unskilled and low paid and with immigrants, often illegal, taking jobs there isnt much left for the poorly educated.

Im afraid its not funny G. Maybe taking was the wrong word. Its a fact that the gangmasters employee the people willing to take the lowest wage and that is the immigrants particularly the illegal ones as they have no one to complain to and are just grateful for being here and having a wage.

I stabbed the guy

G you go out in Boston?? Brave man!!! :-P
If you read the story properly, the guy wasnt stabbed. He has minor cuts and has probably been released from the Pilgrim already.

No excuse for an 'unprovoked' attack but lets not upgrade the crime to suit an arguement.

No one has been arrested for the attack. How do we know who did it? Maybe it wasnt a British person, could have equally been, Russians, Portuguese, Kurds, Iraqis or even other Poles.

Food for thought.....

Travel / Wroclaw Train station to the Airport [15]

The distance did shrink but so did the bus. It was no longer visible from outer space :-P
Lots of people getting on and off and the traffic wasnt good. Bus only scrapped 1 car though! :-)

Travel / Tips for driving in Polish cities [29]

Will be in Wroclaw again in April and this time hiring a car. I have never driven outside of the UK and so this is going to be fun and stressful! Must remember to drive on the wrong side of the road, GTA style!

Any tips on driving a car in a Polish city?
