Chicken cottage staff speaking polish in East London

hi iw went to a fast food place in east london ilford and there was a happy indian man speaking in polish, i heard him saying kurczak, gruby.. it was so funny....

but nice to hear people coming closer by learning new languages

I noticed that too many people of different nationalities speak or understand Polish. So I try to be careful and not to talk about them.

fair comment, i only was celebrating the fact that our language isnt disregarded amongst the other europena languages like french spanish and german, poland has a lot of history and culture and due to the communist atrocities all thigns poland were hidden..

its good that there are more dobrzres and jak sie masz's around town..

we should get closer as people and understand each other more

That is pretty cool.

I'm wondering if / where there were any subsidised schemes in East London for learning Polish... some kind of community backed scheme or something like that.

that would be good, i think they should start with punjabi or hindi... especially in east london

I'm sure that you can get those already - in Whitechapel anyway.

In Ireland advertising in Polish only is commonplace..right now the nearest poster/billboard to my house reads "Sobieski....Król. Jest tylko jeden" it shows that the profile of Poland, Poles & Polish is raised in other countries when everybody knows a few words of Polish. Although we all know which Polish word is the best known throughout the world;-) Co to ----- jest? i hear you ask!

Sorry... you're going to need to help me out here.... my first words of Polish were wodka and piwo :)
