UK, Ireland / Grateful Polish photographer stitches up his Welsh hosts [96]
He is capturing real life. Britain has a binge drinking culture and many revel in debauchery. Why not show it? I see your point, Harry, but he is hopefully not doing it to belittle them.

I'm wearing Gap at present. A nice top as it's getting colder. Good that you wrote Gap with a capital letter as I could have misconstrued it otherwise ;)

Tusk just isn't on a par with that Czech president. What's his name, Vaclav Klaus? He really used the EU presidency to good effect and spoke ever so eloquently against the EU goons in the EU Parliament. Nigel Farage was impressed.
The Polish govt is just a nodding dog. Yes sir, 3 bags full sir :(

Law / How deep is the Gloom in the Poland's Economy [84]
We must always remember that Poland came through the last economic crisis relatively unscathed. Therefore, it cannot really be the case that Poland is in such a deep lull.
Remember one golden point here. The economists, as the experts, often hold different views. Just think about that.

Then let me tell you that many here are very smart people. Some need a guiding hand. On that point, you are right. An American who came here commented on how easy it was to order them around and how they lacked direction.
The main way to save Poland is to get more positive people in to open their eyes to what they have and what they can do. Too many Poles are caught in a pessimistic rut and the last economic crisis didn't help. However, many have potential and, by and large, Poles enjoy one another's company. Helping them cement this Polishness by waking them up to certain realities would really bring them forward.

Crow, quite a few Poles are very well-informed people. Such people can really push the country forward in their own way. Really, who is better placed to comment on this matter, me or you?

It's VERY clear what I was saying, David. Where is the neutrality? I'm not a black and white thinker but I think much of what NATO has done has been bad. In Libya for oil and they raped Yugoslavia to impose privatisation&debt measures.

It depends what you mean by informed. Crow, it's not a blanket thing with NATO. As you should be aware, many Poles reject NATO but their govt will not budge so long as the likes of Sikorski is pulling strings. To say Poles "aren't informed" is rather harsh but I you were referring to the NATO stance.

Poland's GDP is said to be steadily rising so I don't think there is cause for alarm overall. As for those in poverty, well, other countries have this too and they don't need to be rescued so directly. Poles have learned to be rugged and live through hard times, Crow, it's not like they are fish out of water here.
As for education, the government hasn't completely got its act together but we live in an age where many have the tools/resources to educate themselves on whatever topic they choose. More important is job creation, to allow people to apply what their education has taught them. All too often, undergraduates come through their education to be hit with a harsh job reality. They are told what to study, to prepare for etc etc and then boom, nothing at the end of it. If there is sth at the end of it, they often perceive it as underpaid and unrewarding. Again, not only Polish. It's particularly evident in Scotland.
That's enough for now.

Cheddar is not that hard to find here. You can even buy it in Żabka in sliced form. Tesco had/have Kerrygold and Biedronka have/had a Scottish cheddar. I can find it no problem here.
