Hey folks, I know this is a long time off but this is one production in Polish (with English supertitles) that will be taking place at the Edinburgh Festival this year. :)

Travel / Stag Parties in Kraków [119]
It's quite a large group but your age group should favour you. I'd imagine that you won't have much problems unless you plan on being loutish :) It's really the drunken, disorderly "younger" stag parties that they are cracking down on. I imagine if you are planning a meal and then some drinks it will be fine. :)
There will be 16 of us, ages 35-40ish,

I think it's £7.50 each per day so it's not over-priced (IMHO).

LOL!! I see that all the time. Apparently, that happens because the skin stretches so much that they end up losing some of their shape. It looks sloppy.

I don't like pointy toe shoes either. I have one pair, which look nice with jeans and a top in the summer but I can't wear them if I have to walk any distance because they get hurt. And yeah, the pointy bit makes me think of a witch :)
They are hard to walk in. I see girls with them on and they're basically walking over the side and back of them. I bought a cheaper version (infact 2 pairs) over the winter and they great and sturdy (but still managed to fall on the ice :)
edit: mines were black :)
I am probably one of the few females that hates pointy toe shoes. They are f'ugly to me. They look like witch shoes.

You naughty editor you! :)
I truly think one of the problems with this country is that employers/agencies are allowed to do what you write about above. It really throws the equal opportunities thing right out the window and obviously, in cases like you describe, it's local workers who come of worst (Brits).
In fact, I'm not sure they really are "allowed" to do it, but they are getting away with it through some loophole or another!

You're right to say your bit, the point is, it's not about the hardworking folk, it's about the slackers :)

No, don't deal in agencies. Never, ever. My company advertises in local papers, online (sometimes) and in the job centre (although we very rarely get anything from them). The post offered will run in all the local papers each week until the post is filled.

That's admirable, most companies don't advertise, they just call their agencies (Companies often have contracts with such agencies, which almost automatically excludes local workers from getting hired.) But alright, before I give you a reply I'd like to ask you a question first: Where and how does your company advertise?

I gathered that ;)
Although, I'm not talking about all Brits, I am talking about those who whinge that their jobs are being stolen but who wouldn't work anyway. I am aware there are unemployed British folk who would take any job to get themselves started on the career ladder. It's not them I'm talking about at all.
I didn't say Poles work harder, I was talking about the low-paid jobs that previously weren't filled but are now filled due to Polish people. For example, my company advertise some of these low paid jobs and truly, it's not British people who are coming for the interviews...(others may advertise these posts and have many British people for interviews but that is not my experience).
:)
Yes, I get what you're getting at. I'm not against my own countrymen but there are certain elements of our society that really make me wonder...if it came across that I dislike all Brits, that was not my intention. :)
Sorry, I guess it's obvious I disagree with you. I need to chill out, I know..

No. If you're talking about real farmers then I know that tenant farmerin E Scotland are being paid just above minimum wage. Although they are getting houses with this (but must pay for their own houses after retirement or after leaving farming). I'm saying that British worker with mortgages will only have been given one with adequate wage so they won't be refusing low paid jobs to pay mortgage because they wouldn't have got mortgage with such a job. They may have been given a mortgage with another salary and if that's the case, a drop in salary would be considered by the lender...overall, something would be worked out. Read back huh...
Don't talk your crap to me, it doesn't wash. I'm talking about people who are not stuck up, who will work to pay their way. Think about it...

No NO NO....its not Better than anything....good greif,the farmers are paying crappy wages,often subsidisng housing...British workers with morgages to pay just cant afford to do these jobs...simple as..

So then you get my point. Some Brits won't take the jobs because of the low pay, therefore deciding that they are "better than that". But why? Everyone starts somewhere...if you have a mortgage and find yourself in a "poor" situation then you can take a break from your mortgage (it'll be written in your terms somewhere) but if you've never been solvent enough for a mortgage, you'll never have been given one.

OK, so what you're effectively saying is that by filling positions that Brits find "below them", immigrants are NOT boosting the economy...eh? How can that be? They are doing jobs that were previously not filled. Therefore they are paying taxes where tax was previously not paid (for example).
Don't kid yourself that if tomorrow, all the Poles went home, Brits would snap up the available jobs. Wouldn't happen. Those who whinge that Poles stole "their jobs" are those who wouldn't be caught dead working anyway...it's just something for them to moan about during the adverts on Jeremey Kyle...
Exactly.
Well i can't believe that anybody is really shocked from todays revolation that immigrants don't boost the UK economy at all and in fact only decrease the chances of british people from being able to find a job.

Yep, I agree with you isthatu.
Mister H, what about the thousands of able Brits who don't contribute tax because they are unemployed? They're still entitled to NHS help.
So my Polish friend has been paying tax for two years and breaks her arm falling on the ice. She can't get that arm fixed on the NHS because she hasn't contributed for a minimum of 5 years?

The employment figures are based on population so it's most likely that of the "16,000" people who have gained employment, a huge majority of them are Polish.
