I lived in London and those are my opinions of the yobs that I saw litter the streets.

Did you make any effort to integrate?

Trish...thanks for your opinions...but there is a British culture. And there is also a British history. The mighty seapower has not only accelerated globalisation, English language as a world language has opened horizons for lots of people...so what? I agree with you that there are some traditions people cannot be proud of...today...for example....getting totally drunk at stag nights abroad...and being rude there, but each country and each culture has things we can talk badly about...

What do Polish people think about the cultural life in England?

I think it's way better than in PL. There's a lot of affordable music events and concerts

Do Polish people feel strange here?

I used to feel strange. When I heard yorkshire accent for the first time in my life :)

How do they react on the British pub culture?

It's different than in Poland...just different

Do they think British people waste a lot of money?

Nothing unusual. Like every other nation

And how do they think about family values in Little Britain?

Family values - a rare thing among lower class families, higher class the better.

And what is quite different to Polish culture?

Mulitinational society, better drivers' manners (not skills), strong racism, professional ppl are way nicer than Polish profs, poor general knowledge (geography, maths, politics and anything else referred to countries outside of UK),

crap food(except Yorkshire pudding with gravy), weather (I like mild winters though)..hmm.. that's it ..at the moment :)

I disagree with this statement. We just dont really care about the politics, and geography of obscure ex soviet, eastern european satellite states
