UK, Ireland / 31 year old Polish man causes accident under influence of alcohol and kills 8 [198]

You really are a sad and repulsive individual with nothing to say for himself apart from spouting hatred.
In fact now I think of it, as a poster you are utterly forgettable. All you do is come on to whine about 'Poms'.

yes slowly over the years since then, it has somehow become more and more socially unacceptable.
Marsupial, you already have defended him , you said Indians or 'Poms' getting killed was a good thing.
Dont try to backtrack now.

to be honest we had the same problem in the 70s and 80s didnt we?

UK, Ireland / 31 year old Polish man causes accident under influence of alcohol and kills 8 [198]


but it's not irrelevent is it?
There are too many Polish drivers on the road in the UK and its dangerous. There must be a really low standard test, drunk driving is acceptable in a way that it no longer is here, and it needs discussion. Obviously this problem is not relevant for an Australian, but I am not sure why you are being so provinicial about things. Australia is an irrelevance here, but nobody is being that rude to you are they? As I said, cop on to yourself.

UK, Ireland / 31 year old Polish man causes accident under influence of alcohol and kills 8 [198]


well so is Australia for me but i don't spend my valuable time trawling round forums looking for Australian news to be obnoxious about do I?

that is because i really don't care, whereas you obviously, and I repeat, have a massive chip on your shoulder about the UK

well yes a lot does happen. If you could be bothered to look, you would find the article.
Not my fault if you are lazy is it?

Such a chip on ur shoulder about the UK . Po' Aussie boy. lol.

it happened two days ago, wont be on todays front pages. Sadly news moves fast.

oh dont be so ridiculous. Cop on to yourself and dont be so egotistical.
Maybe the authorities here in the UK should send photos of the dead to some little man in Australia, who 'needs evidence'.
lol.

obviously it's not 'fake news' - dont be silly.

ok correction it was a group of family and friends who were going on holiday together. Some of them had jobs in the UK, and some of them were just visiting.

it was a minibus full, comprising a family going on holiday on the Eurostar, and several people going to work, as you said.

I saw this story this morning. was not surprised when I saw the perp's name, to be honest, not in the least.
Sorry but what is it about Polish drivers? they even laugh about them in Czechia. This is so not a laughing matter though.
Another thing..do u think that maybe when people come to a new country, on some level they almost think that the laws of the land do not apply to them? NOt talking about Polish in Britain now, but as a general immigrant attitude? Like my ex brother in law used to drive around with no insurance, or the other one was always starting on black men when he was drunk? or the way that a certain kind of Brit can behave abroad?

Real Estate / Land sold in Poland... any problems getting money sent to U.K.? [35]

nah if I were you I would insist on a bank transfer. Or follow Jon and Delph's advice. Very very carefully.
It sounds really dodgy, but you know that.
Do you speak the language?

you know what, when i saw ur post, this is what I thought might come next. Did he say why he cannot do a bank transfer? Are u expected to pick it up in cash? I would be suspicious.Do you even know this relative? Doesnt he have a solicitor or whatever the Polish equivalent is?

I know I am having Thai red curry now to compensate..

yes it does seem more wholesome. We also like the sauerkraut and sausages and the soft drinks. Lots of Polish food consumed in this house! That corn syrup gets everywhere, you have to watch out for it.

Yes Krakus is good, isnt it?

I live in the middle of nowhere but my nearest shop is a Polski Sklep.
Just went in and bought a large jar of premium blueberry jam, a large white loaf and some fancy chocolate, all for £3.93!

Why would/should I or anyone else have heard of these aged/dead Americans?
Its not the American language, its an international language.
I could come up with people that you havent heard of, and shout NEXT at you. But I am not that rude or ignorant..:)

Polish is different. Its like Welsh , you need a native speaker.
English , not so much.

Study / Studying English in Krakow, private tutors, schools or universities [49]

yeh in English the main problem is phrasal verbs. I propose they be banned...:):)

Study / Studying English in Krakow, private tutors, schools or universities [49]


to be honest, someone that has learnt the language to such a high level is probably going to be better at explaining grammar than a native speaker is.

One university summer school I did, we all doubled up, native/non native, and shared a class. The non native would explain grammar points, the native would do the fun stuff..:) Suited me, (my partner was from Syria...:)

We also had colleagues from France, Greece and Germany. Most of them had just finished the Masters in ELT/applied linguistics course.

thats right Maf. Also, the vast majority of learners have no desire to sound British or American,they just want to for example. be able to make a conference call to China.

Study / Studying English in Krakow, private tutors, schools or universities [49]

its very rare for any student of English to be able to differentiate between accents, let alone have it affect their speaking. has to be clear, of course.

At the level that most of them are at I mean, the ones that attend lessons...:)

Also I have met some amazing people that were excellent English teachers, but not native speakers.
