OP wildrover 98 | 4,438 5 Oct 2007 / #123The Poles came and stole all the fish out of the poundNo matter what the subject Michal manages to come up with some story that makes out the Polish nation consists entirely of beggers thieves and scoundrels...I have just had a whole pile of my stuff nicked by Polish people, but nevertheless remain convinced that most Polish people are great folks...What the hell happened to Michal.....?
Michal - | 1,865 5 Oct 2007 / #124We have a friend who is a Polish doctor and she was in London in a GAP shop. She was close to the exit and she heard Polish being spoken behind her. Next thing the alarm goes off as the Poles stole a whole pile of pullovers from the display and run from the shop. Even though the alarm went off, the staff did nothing about it. Probably in London, they are used to their stores being targeted by Poles. They mist have got away with a hundred pounds worth of goods that morning.

randompal 7 | 306 5 Oct 2007 / #126Probably in London, they are used to their stores being targeted by Poles.then its their fault for being so naive.
TheDude - | 50 5 Oct 2007 / #127they are used to their stores being targeted by Poles.TheDude knows a few security guards in Edinburgh and they say that more Scots are caught stealing than Polish people. It isn't a problem at all in Scotland.
Michal - | 1,865 5 Oct 2007 / #128then its their fault for being so naive.Our society has certain conventions and it is to be expected that these foreigners are to behave themselves. If caught, I would not have the slightest hesitation in deporting them.

OP wildrover 98 | 4,438 6 Oct 2007 / #132Hey don,t worry about it....People on here give a bit of stick now and then, but most don,t get really nasty...You are entitled to say what you feel , but you can expect to get a few comebacks if you say anything about race or colour ...There are people on both sides of this argument , and it seems to be the subject that upsets people the most....best avoided really......
Michal - | 1,865 6 Oct 2007 / #133and which society would that be then?Every society has conventions. What is your question?

Michal - | 1,865 7 Oct 2007 / #140Did you make one ?Did I make one what?Anyway, this is all getting off the subject about the Poles and what a load of 'tea leaves' they are!
sledz 23 | 2,248 7 Oct 2007 / #141I rather starve to death before I eat my Harley!!!!oops I just found a can of Heinz beansthat should last me atleast 10 days??
Michal - | 1,865 7 Oct 2007 / #142Funny that you should say that as some years ago there was a man, and I think he was in America who entered the Guinness Book of Records for eating his own car! I wonder what he had for pudding?
Lady in red 7 Oct 2007 / #143Anyway, this is all getting off the subject about the PolesI think he was in America
Daisy 3 | 1,224 7 Oct 2007 / #144Quoting: MichalAnyway, this is all getting off the subject about the PolesQuoting: MichalI think he was in Americawell observed ;)
Michal - | 1,865 8 Oct 2007 / #146, they think i am rich...This is a bit of a joke really , as most of them don,t go without food asYou have to remember that in Poland it will be your nearest neighbours who will steal from you even more than those who you do not know. I remember being told in Russia that it will be those who want to befriend you who will work for the K.G.B. and will report on you. Human life in Poland has no real meaning at all. Any Pole will stab you in the back eventually. I remember I had a friend who lived in Warsaw and this is years ago when there was still Communism and it was still illegal for the Poles to come over here and work in cafes ect. She had to move on from time to time and hide her tracks as whenever a Pole realized that another Pole had a job they would phone the police in London and report them. There is an old English expression 'there is no valour among thieves'. Remember that.
Nigel 1 | 71 8 Oct 2007 / #147Hi wildrover. I lived there for many years and as much as I liked it I had to accept it as it was,not as I wanted it to be.At first I saw it trhrough rosy coloured glasses and I defended the place vigourously against my colleagues ,I find myself admitting they were right now.Poland is a very unfair place and a good way to get success there is to abuse ones power,do something illegal,abuse one colleagues,and generally be very dishonest.Those types do very well in Poland and the decent folk get left behind.Survival doesn't come into it,they do it...Bo trzeba as I was told many times.I hope you have a nice life in Poland,it still has a lot going for it and maybe it will be better one day. I would say you need to be realistic,but try to stop yourself being pessimistic. When you've been there a few more years I would be interested if your experience will be the same.If nothing else,you'll be a much wiser person for the experience-and thats never a bad thing.[ quote=Michal] You have to remember that in Poland it will be your nearest neighbours who will steal from you [/quote]excellent observation michal.I assume that you're a brit that lived there aswell. One question,Despite the problems I hope to go back one day when things get better,would you go back or have you had enough?
peterweg 37 | 2,311 8 Oct 2007 / #148what makes you think he is British? His English isn't perfect (unless he's faking the poor grammar and inconsistent spelling), one would think that he's Polish, just trying to stir things up a bit in order to find boredom.He is definitely not English, his spelling is American English.
