I work in a town that has a LOT of Polish, Latvian and Lithuanian people, and I am sorry to say that I agree with an earlier post about the high percentage of crimes committed by our Eastern European cousins. The majority of these crimes are drink/driving related or other motoring offences. Perhaps Polish law regarding the motorist is a lot less strict than English law.I have NO problem with them coming over here to work, and the women are stunning, but PLEASE, behave yourselves and play nicely!
We had an influx of Gypsies from Romania a few years ago. Some one was telling thm the streets were paved with gold and a load or two turned up in Dover. There was quit a controversy.
I was in Blfast a few years ago and a group of Romanian Gypsies were begging (respectable and genuine part of Gypsy culture, so I'm told). The one woman kept saying "Money, mister!" I told her I didn't have any as I didn't carry money (true, as it happened).
"Oh, I'll take a cheque!" she said.
What annoyed me when Bulgaria and Romania entered the EU was that they started slagging UK for putting in place the same restrictions as the rest of Europe had when Poland/Czech and Baltic states joined. The Romanian president even threatened to stop Brits working in Romania ("I bet that'll be such a loss" said my boss in Poland). I didn't hear them slagging every other country which was restricting them, just UK.
