UK, Ireland / Polish community in Northampton (any success stories / bad experiences?) [20]

Hello,
I am studying geography and for my final project I am looking at the Polish community in Northampton, any success stories or bad experiences. Any feedback would be great. Have you found it easy to settle in? How do you feel you were treated by the British? Do you continue to only eat Polish food and shop in Polish shops or have you tried new things? What do you miss most about Poland? Where would you call home? Do you feel you have to change your identity to fit in, or have you kept your own culture? Really interested to learn more...I am learning more of your culture every day!!! Love to hear from anyone. Thanks, Greta :)

Very interesting opinions. So do you feel you have to change when you are in Britain? Or you have changed out of choice? for example your fashion or food tastes or identity? :)

Hello, would anyone have a problem with me using some of these ideas in my study. All names will be changed and all data anonymous and kept confidential. You have given me very interesting feedback. Thank you for your views!! :) xx
