News / "Poland is flourishing" [62]
Regardless, the debt is still there and Polands stability is only surviving thanks to EU funding. They already begged the EU for the same amount of input they recieved from the later budget, from the forth coming budget.
When that comes to an end. Which it will. The circumstances can be likened to Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
Can,t predict anything 100%, only time will tell, as it did with those mentioned.
Spending your way out of debt is quite a normal tactic in business.

Work / Price per day... private painting and decorating in Poland [23]
Exactly. I imported my paint from the UK, and constantly my neighbours comment how my windows are so shiny and don,t flake after a few years weathering.

Well I,m sure they don,t use varnish or stain on metalwork,aswell as woodwork that needs hard coating. Of course there is gloss paint in Poland, but where is the primers and undercoats to go with it as per manufacturers specifications. It,s like trying to bake a cake without one of the ingredients.
no such thing as real gloss paint in Poland

Materials in Pl are alot different to the UK, Cekol is used as a substitute for plaster and sucks like a sponge. One unibond coat is insufficient to seal the surface. Extra coats means it,s more time consuming, aswell as using more materials.
Primers and undercoats are a rarity, and vastly inferior to BS standards.
There is also little choice with colour ranges for gloss paints and again no undercoats ( no colours ).
These are but a few examples of whats facing you. Be sure to take this into account when pricing, or you could be shooting yourself in the foot.
Good luck.

History / Warsaw Uprising - The Forgotten Soldiers [117]
Problem is,...... they don,t teach such facts in school history lessons. As BB says, one must research these facts, and what better way is there than the internet.
Actually another way is to obtain knowledge at first hand, for example talking to those who lived in those times. Personally I have blood connections on all sides of the borders ( what a mixture ), that actually experienced both wars.
So take it from me, it,s hard to accept the truth when you have been brought up in a brainwashed society, but what BB is saying, is not without substance. I concur with the above quotes and I,m not German.
I think Poland would had fared much better with much less losses of life.

Bottom line is that prices in Poland have soared in the past 4 years. Then some dumb statement comes out that Poland has the cheapest food prices in Europe, which of course is laughable when I can purchase cheaper in most other EU states. Not to mention, they fail to reveal the earning potential elsewhere.
Biedronka is the largest supermarket chain in Poland, doesn,t that speak for itself ?
It,s one of the leaders on the Warsaw stock exchange. So maybe Kaczyinski is correct, there,s so many impoverished Poles that they are able to keep Biedronka ahead of the other so called high society supermarkets. In other words, they haven,t much choice where to shop.

Here,s a couple of sites to start you off.
The first gives you choices of b+b,s around Zakopane.
The second is one of the choices, where they quote prices from 30zloty/night, to 17zloty for group bookings.
Back packers or campers don,t usually have any problems in Poland. Most camping facilities are adequate, but if things didn,t meet your expectations, the locals are only to willing to make your visit a pleasant one and will find you alternatives.

Typical Polish way of thinking. The cities, be it one or ten does not make up the entire country. Often poles refer to London as being England. Look a bit further.
If their grasp of German is anything like their grasp of English, then god help the Germans. When you mention skilled. In what industries ?, or do you consider that all these skilled Polish workers will walk straight into office jobs.
Maybe they should show me what colour underpants they wear.
Firstly it,s not a few, and second, their grieviances are fully founded. People don,t become resentful for no reason, otherwise they would be as you say " idiots ".
Get a grip delph, if Ukrainians, Belarusians, etc started to influx Poland, how do you think the Poles would feel ?

There's certainly no lack of skilled workers in these cities - many of whom have a grasp of German.

What makes you think Poland can offer skilled workers, when they haven,t trainned their own people because of lack of jobs. You can,t substitute experience with a piece of paper. Every country have their own uni grads without adequate job vacancies. The truth is that the jobs available will be the menial unskilled crap that no one wants to do.
You again !
Well, of the Poles I know in the UK, and that,s considerably many, I would say 90% are currently unemployed, hence claiming benefits.
From my own personal experience of travelling around Europe some 15 years ago, to present day, various nationalities were less resentful to foreigners. Now you only have to speak with a eastern european accent to be tarred with the same brush and get labelled as " f,ing Pole " or " polnisch schwein ".
And don,t deny this Mr Bratwurst because I have heard this with my own ears. ( not once )
We have a boom in Germany right now....

Many migrant Poles all over the EU have found themselves unemployed.
What do you mean, " terrible money " ? Don,t you listen to the news and Polish press, how great the Polish economy is, and how employment is on the increase, not to mention the rise in wages. Why should anyone want to leave ?
None will leave the UK, they wouldn,t get better welfare anywhere else. Especially Poland.
It,s all political bullshit, so anyone discussing the topic on here is just wasting their time.
It,s all to do with the free movement of people, pi55ing off other people whose jobs are being taken and the tax payers getting pi55ed off aswell subsidizing spongers. Wont be long before the riots start in europe. It was a better europe when people stayed within their own borders, did their own jobs and hence aided their own economies.
