Love / Amount of money for gift (I have a girlfriend in Poland) [56]

100zl is too little. 500zl is too much. either way it's a cheap thought and a cheap gift.

a signal that she may be in a relationship.

Language / 24 hour time telling in Poland vs. other countries [29]


folks in the uk have been using the 24hr system alongside the 12hr system since the first digital watch way back in the 70's

but, the watch may read 17:00 and they will usually say 5 o'clock.

if you want to show typical english then it's 5pm or 5 o'clock.

the 24hr system is not wrong though.

the question should be: 'show the time as one would expect to find on a typical english style invitation'

it's long past the time that Poland woke up to this problem.
