Peterwerg, what you say is true and I agree that people shouldnt work for less than the minimum wage.. however the reality is that many do, as they are desperate for work. I know of people in th UK (mostly Poles) who work for less than £4 an hour. Im not saying its right, but there are always going to be ruthless employers looking for cheap labour.. and there will always be those who wish to avoid paying taxes and are therefore prepared to accept such low wages.

these may be the official statistics.. but I dont think they are truly representative and may be misleading to some who might come here seeking work... it clearly also depends upon skills, qualifications and type of job. C'mon guys, stop quoting stats and get real.

If the average Pole turns up in London expecting to get a job earning £40K they are going to be in for a nasty shock.

wow! I agree those figures are inflated. Of course there are high earners in London, but I would say the average wage was nearer to £20K.

Zubrowka... available in all good Turkish supermarkets in the UK.. for the hefty price of £15! much cheaper in Poland.. obviously
