How close is " A Tree grows in Brooklyn" to life in the New York these days????
Life in wales is fine these days as long as you avoid the forays from Harlech castle by roving bands of English knights and men at arms harrying the countryside............................

How can you tell? It all sounds like a cat coughing up a furball........apart from that ultra sonic screech of Polish women between words.....

UK, Ireland / How to recruit a Polish female for work in the UK? [11]


Depends on context. Someone to help women in and out of their dresses and pin to adjust them could quite reasonably be expected to be another woman......well,thats what they told me when I applied for the Bra fitter job in Top Shop the other year.....

As to the "Polish",all he has to do is add the words "Polish language speaker prefered" and he's well within the law,its a "skill" not a "ethnic" thing that way :)

its funny all this hot air. I know some 100% patriotic,if not outright nationalist Poles who,hate what the Soviets did but have studied in Russia,worked with Russians and dont have a bad word for any of them baring Putin et al.

News / For all Americans worried about Schengen in Poland, dont worry about it. [142]


Exactly.


It might have done,but, after 5 1/2 and 3 1/2 years fighting respectivly,and with the war in the Far East still far from one could it really be reasonable for the British and Americans to have taken on the might of the Red Army in 45? With hindsight we can all wring our hands but ,at the time,with real politik in play and a " Polish " government in place in Lublin/warsaw and the promise of free elections what other road could have been taken? The Red Army was in Berlin,they were not taking another step back.

Nah,face it BB, he got you there :)
I was tempted to bring up cassino......you know, a tiny force of falshies holed up for months against the might of the combined 5th and 8th armies,bombed to buggery by day and night air raids and assualted on dozens of occasions by men from so many countries it would make your nose bleed trying to remember them all.......but hey ho, again, twas the Poles who won that battle......

But,on a day long battle,yes, one small contingent of troopers can turn the tide and effectively "carry the day".

News / For all Americans worried about Schengen in Poland, dont worry about it. [142]


feel what you want,doesnt make it true though.
twas the soviets who crushed the nazis,and,short of Patton,no American wanted to go toe to toe with uncle Joe to actually liberate the parts of Europe that still needed liberating.

So,lets see, you are moaning about "English" and Poles for not feeling greatfull that your grandpappy "liberated Europe",well,lets see...

England was never occupied so didnt need liberating,and,well,Im sure I dont need to spell out when Polands occupation ended,so,I ask again,why should we be greatfull for something "you" didnt do?


And those brave boys get our deepest respect.
Im sure you have been to as many US armed forces cemetries in Europe as I have and Im sure you can vouch for the fact that those American boys are being cared for with as much love and respect as though they were native born sons of whichever nation the have found eternal rest in.

You know what,thats word for word what people said about our post war Poles around here. came with nothing,ended up valuable members of sociaty and proud citizens of the UK.......

UK, Ireland / Polish burglars 'tied up pensioner and stripped her of jewellery before leaving her to die [28]


Well,it wouldnt if there wasnt plenty of form with a certain sector of Polish sociaty,the type who at the mere sniff a house may have been pre war owned by jews(no matter how much of a p!ss poor shtetl hut it may have been) will be in there like sh!t through a goose with spades and metal detectors........so,Im sorry,in this case I suspect the fact that the victim was Jewish had a huge part in the crime being commited.

PP, the UK is ,well,pretty much the stereotype you may imagine in most places,but,its cities are just cities like any other.
Frankly,Ive worked in some pretty scary places but Ive not had a fight since I was a 15 year old school kid.......................mind you,see above story re the sort of mates I had ;)

One way to measure this is to take into acount that the British police are still only routinly armed with pepper spray and a stick,the other is to take a second to look at the Roll of Honour for all Officers killed on duty since 1980. RIP.
