Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]


I don`t remember when we last went there, but I remember we bought a metal bunk bed 5 years ago. I checked its current price and again it is more expensive in Poland. :):):)

Oh, and we have had a bottle opener etc for about 10 years.

But that was all, and whenever we exchange furniture or sth, we go to other chain outlets, e.g., Black Red and White.


Not exactly. I checked other products and the situation is similar to sinks or beds, as WB has just shown us.

Fortunately, IKEA isn`t the only place. You can buy similar products twice or even thrice cheaper elsewhere.


Nope, because much of the production takes place in Poland.


Maybe. I am not an expert on it. I just know that I don`t like IKEA for disgusting offer. :):):):)

Fishing:

Poles angle and take fish home to cook (mostly). Law allows it in Poland because registered anglers pay annual fees for fishing, which start from about 200 PLN.

Brits release the caught fish back into the water (mostly).

Hence, such signs in Britain:





Aren`t Brits weird?

British double taps vs Polish single taps.

Aren`t Brits peculiar? :):):)

LONDON (Oct. 31, 2002)-During a wartime visit to Moscow in 1942, Winston S. Churchill discovered a marvel of modern technology: hot and cold water flowing from the same faucet.

"It's very strange to me," says Ayelet Langer, who moved to London from Israel last year and found two faucets mounted on the newly installed bathroom sink in her apartment. "I thought I couldn't really cope with it at first, but now I do." Worried that the water from the hot tap will scald the fingers of her one-year-old son, she washes his hands in the kitchen sink, which has a single spout.

Back to prices.....

Corn syrup can be expensive in Poland (yes, WB, I am so assertive that I can admit it! £yso Ci, co? ) Once I bought a small bottle (250 ml) to try. Not bad. But it cost about 20 PLN.

Do sth with it, I don`t know, go to therapy or what. Take some pills.

Never mind.

Let`s continue.

My turn now: :):):):):)

Today we went shopping.
A packet of 5 corns on cobs costs £1 in Poland.

UK - you can get only 2 corns for that and that`s even half normal price.

There were packs of two corn on the cob going for half price at a £1 so I bought some.

Funny. For my Polish mind "long history" suggests continuous action which lasts for a long time.

But there was just one peasant revolt in England, the one with Wat Tyler.

History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]

This is extremely interesting info.

In 1980 I had to learn German at private lessons because my mother forced me to. She claimed that only people who can speak German would be safe during the 3rd World War. She spoke from her own experience - she was a little girl during WW2. So our parents spent a lot of money on private tutors for us and I had to learn German since I was 6! Can you imagine it?

I bought 2 packets of those gums, 4 pieces per packet. I had 7 within an hour or two and got sick - stomachache, cold shivers, fever.

I must think about it.

But the product is sold in Ireland too.

Probably I am allergic to some stuff in those gums, that`s all.

Institute of National Rememberance

Institute of National Remembrance - Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation (Polish: Instytut Pamięci Narodowej - Komisja Ścigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu; IPN) is a Polish government-affiliated research institute with lustration prerogatives[2] and prosecution powers[3] founded by specific legislation.[2] It specialises in the legal and historical sciences and in particular the recent history of Poland.[4] IPN investigates both Nazi and Communist crimes committed in Poland between 1939 and 1989, documents its findings and disseminates the results of its investigations to the public.[4]

The Institute was established by the Polish Parliament on December 18, 1998.[3] The Institute started its activities on July 1, 2000.
According to a new law which went into effect on March 15, 2007, IPN was to be mandated to carry out lustration procedures prescribed by Polish law.[2] However, key articles of that law were judged unconstitutional by Poland's constitutional court on May 11, 2007 so the role of IPN in the lustration process is at present unclear.[5]
