Life / Why are cars so expensive in Poland ? [23]

I need to buy a Mercedes sprinter van , to move all the contents of my Polish farm to my new home in Russia.....they are about half the price in the UK as they are in Poland , the only problem being the steering wheel on the wrong side , not a problem for me , but hopefully it will still sell ok in Moscow....Cars in Moscow are even more expensive than Polish ones...

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

they had returned the favour many times already, before 1939. Besides Poland fought one on one not 2 or 3 against 1

If you have one thousand soldiers in a defended position , it requires at least three thousand soldiers to stand a good chance of defeating them , so three against one is the ideal military situation..

Life / Do men in Poland go to barber shops or hair salons ? [16]

I have never been to a barber shop in the five years i have been in Poland , usually go to salons where they can cope with long hair....

Do they have barbers shops in Poland....? there are not that many Polish guys with any hair....

Law / What banks are people using in Poland? [50]

Nordsea bank?

Its Nordea.... they have branches all over the place...you can even set up an account over the internet , though i have to say my attempt to do this was a failure , probably due to my muppetry with a computer...

Have a look at this....

News / POLISH COPS TO BREATHALISE CANOE USERS.... [30]

OOOH ERR MISSUS... you would think that having lots of beer would encourage such naughty practices....

You started this thread in the public forums. Just for once stay on topic, rather than trying to turn it into a smutty thread.

News / POLISH COPS TO BREATHALISE CANOE USERS.... [30]

I must confess to having a few swigs from a flask of vodka as we kyaked along a frozen river into the town of Drawko pomorskie , just for survival purposes of course....

It was november , and bloody freezing... a really daft idea...but fun...

I remember a cop grinning at us as we passed under one road bridge near Drawsko , he said we were all mad , he did not comment on the Vodka flask passed among us...

Now it seems you can get a big fine for such silliness....

thenews.pl/national/artykul154838_dont-drink-and--kayak.html

I think a 600 quid fine for being pissed in a canoe is a bit steep tho.... i mean its not like you are gonna kill anyone with a canoe...apart from yourself...

Travel / Driving to Poland from England - any tips? [264]

Hello,
Is driving from Huddersfield to Wroclaw with two kids (10 and 8) a bad move. We are going to a friends wedding in July.

No , its not such a nightmare if you break the journey up a bit for the sake of the kids....

Are you planning doing the trip in one go , or stopping overnight some place...??

I drove several times from Leeds to near Drawsko pomorskie , so a very similar route to the one you will take no doubt....

The distance is about 800 miles to where you are going , at a guess , so its a long trip for children i suppose....

When i was doing it on my own , i would do it in one hit , i would get off the ferry in Rotterdam at 8am in the morning , and a steady run , not crawling , but not thrashing the nuts off anything would see me in Drawsko about midnight , thats with a few stops on the way , and a bit of a kip if i got tired...

When i was leading a convoy of Landrovers carry aid to the same area , i was aware that not everyone can drive such distances , so we stopped overnight in the German city of Celle , i can recommend the silver sands camp site on the outskirts ( silbersands ) This is about half distance to where you are going , so should give you and the kids a break.....

When i did the journey i used the E30 , which runs all the way from Rotterdam to Szczecin , but probably you want to aim a bit further south in Poland....

Have a safe journey... watch out for the Polish drivers.....some of em are raving mad....

History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]

These pictures are from the Russian point of view , so not suprisingly there is no mention of the Poles...

But some very interesting pics of the final moments of the battle for Berlin....

Law / PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF SWASTIKA AND NAZI SYMBOLS in Krakow, Poland - Where I should report them? [56]

there is a big zlot coming up in Borno sullinovo....

there will be lots of Nazi symbols on display , not to mention lots of Red army ones , and i dare say a few from various Muslim terrorist organisations....

The policja will be attending the zlot too... to direct traffic and look for lost kids...

Everyone will have a great time , and hopefully some of the younger people will learn a bit of history...
