UK, Ireland / Free/cheap English lessons in England with certificate upon completion? [9]

Can anyone provide me with details of free/cheap English lessons in England with certificate upon completion?
My gf will be moving to be with me in England next year(!) but needs some certification to prove she has adequate english skills so that she can get a job in her profession.

UK, Ireland / Integrating Polish people into the British society [150]

The BBC programme was very relevant for the areas which have had the highest percentage of foreign inmmigrants. Areas in the east of England such as Peterborough, Lincolnshire and the fens have experienced a greater change than most. Look at the towns of these areas, where the work is mostly manual labour, and you will find more than their fair share of work shy, dole scrounging, lazy English young people. The immigrants in these areas are known to be hard working (especially the Polish) and that is why the employers actively seek them over the 'natives'.

In areas which are less effected, middle class wanabee, Daily Mail reading "Mr Smith" is obviously going to have a different opinion.

UK, Ireland / Integrating Polish people into the British society [150]

Its an opinion based on 25 years of living in these areas and seeing first hand the rise in chav/lazy/dole scrounging english culture. And hearing/experiencing the appreciation of many farmers, land owners and factory managers for the harder working, punctual foreign worker.

Did you see the programmes last year on abattoirs? Several of the supervisors/managers commented on the benefits of employing a foreign worker over an engligh person.

The wage debate is simple economics. If someone can do the job to the same standard for less money (within the law) then it is obvious who is going to be employed. Thats why the government setup the minimum wage, gangmasters act and other schemes to ensure that the system is fairer.

News / Adult movie producers looking for 'actresses' in Poland or just a weirdo? [120]

My gf was at work on her own this morning. She works in a small shop in a town close to Olesnica. When the shop was empty a guy came in (she had never seen him before), introduced himself as an American and told her he could help her make lots of money. He started to ask her some personal questions i.e are you a good catholic girl? Do you have a bf/husband? Do you like sex? She only replied that she has a bf and is catholic.

He then told her that he would give her lots of money if she wanted sex with him and started to describe exactly what he wanted including videoing the 'action'. This scared her (obviously). He left when a regular customer came in, but said that he would be back and asked if she had any friends as beautiful as her. Thorughout she told him she wasnt interested.

Anyone else know of anything like this?
Its quite scary that a naive girl could agree to his proposal.

If you cannot understand thats your own stupidity.

I was wondering if anyone else had heard of this sort of thing happening and to warn others about this guy thats why i gave out the geographic location. I would hate for any other girl to be put in this situation.

Normal decent people dont go into someones place of work and start spouting obscene sexual fantasies to a complete stranger.
When its an offer to someone from another country it smacks of exploitation.

I just hope that no girl is naive enough to take the guy up on his offer.

Sapphire get off your Germain Greer high horse. I wasnt sticking up for women, i was just informing people about my gf's horrible experience and warning others.

Naive as in not knowing what they could be letting themselves in for.
If the guy says he wants to film 'sex'. Does that mean 1 guy 1 girl? or 6 guys 1 girl? BDSM or other violent behaviour? A sexually active girl may think ' heh that would be cool getting paid to have sex'. They may not be told that involves some guy/s who may not be HIV checked, without a condom (cos the viewing audience doesnt want to see this), having rough sex with them for as long as the producer wants, not how long the girl wants.

Once the girl is in the room on her own and the door is locked, do you think these guys will take no for an answer?

Sapphire, oh dear.
I never said she was naive, i said she was shocked and upset that someone would go into her place of work and sexually harrass her.

In the real world there are thousands of naive girls being trafficed for sex. They answer innocent job adverts, get 'recruited' or are conned into believing they can make money or a better life for themselves.

If you think my idea of a sexual fantasy is someone sexually harrassing my gf then you need to go get some counselling.

Sapphire - As can be easily seen from the title of the thread it was a question relating to the unpleasant experience of my gf.

I was wondering if anyone else was aware of people doing this.
It was also a warning to people that this sort of thing does happen in real life and not to take any stranger at 'face-value'.

Life / Wedkarski (fishing/angling) questions in Poland [7]

Couple of questions about fishing:

Whats the best Polish magazine/newspaper for reading about equipment/tactics in Poland?
Is the Sklep Wedkarski, Krokodyla on Tęczową the best shop in Wroclaw?
What permits/licences do you need to fish for pike in Poland?

Life / Wedkarski (fishing/angling) questions in Poland [7]

In England and Wales you can take fish for the pot, BUT there are restrictions, see the EA website for details. Anglers in the UK prefer to catch and release (and are passionate about it) so that the fish can provide another day of enjoyment. Some of the techniques employed by non-UK anglers are frowned upon i.e. eye grips (why blind a fish???)

Life / Cosmetics in Poland [14]

Cosmetics seem to be pretty expensive in Poland, roughly the same price as in the UK. I know a few girls who stock up when they visit relatives who live in Germany.

Travel / Ryanair cancelling flights to Poland at short notice [55]

Just been emailed confirmation of 2 flights cancelled from East Midlands to Wroclaw by Ryanair. Checking their website it looks like they have cut most of their services on this route and only fly on wednesdays and sundays. Of course flying on a sunday is are stupidly expensive :-(

Dont know why they have changed this, every flight, be it on a monday, wednesday or friday i have travelled on this route has been full.

UK, Ireland / 10,000 Poles in UK for free abortions [58]

unborn child

Not officially a child until after 23 weeks. Thats why abortions in the UK are allowed before this period comes to an end.

UK, Ireland / English mobile phones - compatible with Polish sim cards? [3]

Just wondering if i were to purchase an Orange mobile in the UK if this would work with an Orange sim card from Poland?

Have tried an Polish sim in my spare phone which works with Vodafone and Orange in the UK and the SIM was not recognised. Is it possible to 'unlock' this?

Love / Where did you meet your Polish other half? [33]

Met my polish g/f in a bar in Poznan. I was on a 'cultural' weekend with work friends and she was visiting relatives and attending an ATB concert the night before.

I was knackered after crappy weather, walking around Poznan and heavy drinking the previous nights and my friends convinced me to go to 'just one more bar'. There she was with her sisters and friends celebrating a birthday. Have known her nearly 2 years now and she has moved to England to be with me, so alls good! :-)
