Classifieds / English cuisine week in Lidl shops in Poland [203]

I know, isthatu2. It's a bit of a wind up. Unless sth is truly and undeniably English or Scottish, I just see it as British. I saw it when I travelled. I often used to drink with a Welsh girl and an English guy and there was no bickering about most foods traditionally seen as British. Very little territorial instincts there, just an appreciation of foods which were spread around Britain long ago.

I can't wait to get some cod fillets, fish&chips and scampi. Hatherwood actually makes some pretty decent stuff. The caramel shorts are made with real Belgian chocolate. I had them about 1.5 years ago and they went down well. As calorific as it gets but tasty!

Wow, many bait takers out there ;) As for fish and chips being 'English', why is that the Dolphin chippie and Ashvale often win the top awards? It's actually British Week, not English cuisine week.

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

MW, I got this info from a pro-Serbian, patriotic Polish woman. She told me the Serbs were demonised, and they were. She's fluent in both languages.

Copernicus was not 100% Polish, is it sinking in yet? ;) ;)

Well, to be fair, the best stuff is Scottish and not English. Cheddar and scampi, for example.

And Curie was French ;) ;)

Well, Copernicus was born into Poland as Thorn had changed to Torun by 7 years but that doesn't conclude the matter.

One source says one thing and another says another. Am I wrong?

PWEI, further discussion of it is not for this thread.

Now, Copernicus. Clearly not 100% Polish.

And Poland repays Serbia back by believing all the BS spread in the media about the Serbs being demons. Nice :( :(

Copernicus was not only Polish. Being European, he was of mixed blood. My wife is the same. She is more German by blood but Polish by nationality and upbringing.

Why all the wasting time on figures and stats that are almost always pulled from the sky????

It's back with us again. There should still be virtually everything available on Wed when I'll be popping along as it's a national holiday tom.

UK, Ireland / What do you like about living in Britain? [134]

It's British Week at Lidl btw. Some goodies to be bought.

UK, Ireland / Polish teacher needed (Manchester or Chester area) [11]

I agree, Sid, but they could have been more explicit.

Their English is accurate so likely Polish language is needed :)

He probably thought he was doing you a favour by adding sth extra to the beer ;)

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK not a problem as far as i can tell [79]

Yeah, I've seen that here a fair bit too. Gotta be on your guard the whole time.

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK not a problem as far as i can tell [79]

There is a fair bit of verbal aggression, it's true. Britain is no stranger to road rage and spontaneous outbursts. Poles sometimes do it during the peak hour but I'd say it's more visible in Britain.

Language / Cholera, cholerny, cholernie... [9]

Check what cholera means in English ;) ;)

Please tell me sth interesting from the elections. You haven't done so so far.

No, I'm a fair judge of such things.

Holly cows? A bit early for decoration, isn't it?

To be fair, I know some good lawyers and judges here. They were my students.

Law / Child Support Poland - my story and advice request [22]

Well said, delph. Poles are overwhelmingly biased towards their own. Shamefully blatant about it! I saw it in mediation as a translator. Until that changes, what faith can be placed in their system? Discrimination Central.

However, all that is needed is training in the Hague Convention on Maintenance. It doesn't take a genius to wade through the various terms.

UK, Ireland / Is moving to UK now a good idea? - antipolish prejudice of the Brits [231]

Dudelz is a smart guy. I know him personally and he is as fair as they come. I see what he is saying all too clearly. Natives can criticise but nobody else can, what a shambolic state of affairs!! If you ask sth on a forum, you have to be ready for all kinds of answers.
