Polish bank's are outdoing each other in a bid to get Poles to borrow. One bank's even got a TV advert that shows a cash loan being dished out and weighed on a scale like fruit at a greengrocer's. Anotehr bank says it will lend anyone off the street 5,000 złots even if they've got no proof of a steady income. The lifestyle based not on one's earnings but on credit has spread to Poland and people are being urged to take out credit cards, get mortgages and loans for cars, holidays, kids' schooling, appliances, whatever.
