Yes, I know the self-appointed apostles of PC will scream 'more stereotyping', but that's their right and gut reaction to things.
Nevertheless, back when relatively few Poles ever made it over to the Isles (pre-1989) I more than once had heard something along the lines of: 'Nalał po kieliszku wódki, resztę schował do lodówki.' Anybody who has visited relatives in Poland knows that at least one bottle must be emptied at table (nithing in ti could be left unconsuemd) for thigns to be right with the world.
Also, another real turn-off was the coin-operated gas ring -- something only the Brits could have invented.-In fact, I've heard Poles say the Scottish jokes were thought up by the English to take the heat off themselves, because in fact Scots are far more hospitable. Any comments?
