UK, Ireland / Are you Poles proud of your country? Then why do you keep coming to Britain? [100]


Abandon your family, ok that's one way of looking at it. Face the heartbreak of leaving your family in order to provide for them and make sure they have a better start in life than you did is another. I say potato you say <insert something mildly xenophobic but in all fairness really rather quite amusing> let's call the whole thing off

The money on offer for a low-mid skilled job in GB is higher than that in Polska (for the moment although I believe that will change given time).

Have a kid where here or in Polska? Please clarify.

Edit: Are you actually based in Polska?

Seanus, I believe I may have been a bit harsh on you a couple of posts back and for that I apologise.

The people that I know that are over from Polska do not tend to be "more lavish" due to being away from home. The students tend to act in the same way as I acted as a student and the ones over to work tend to be very very careful with their cash and try to save and send money back home - you try getting a pint out of a Polish plumber! :)

There are dicks of every nationality. Kowno?

Seanus, when I was a young lad, I used to consider myself half Polish (due to the fact that my parents were Polish and it was the language/cuture that I grew up with) and half English (as I was born here). Due to the amount of crap I got off my peers I thought ***** you all, you're gonna slag me for something? I'm gonna be it 100%".

So, in answer to your original question, I am very proud to be Polish!

I work as a software engineer in a company that I shall not name ;)

OK, so I'm a prick then. It's fantastic that everyones experience of growing up is identical isn't it? I bow to your superior knowledge of my childhood. Well done.

Edit: If you're going to resort to petty name calling, why don't you call me a "dirty ******* immigrant" as I was called at school? So much better than "prick" eh?

Agree with the bulk of what you say but I have to ask your age group. I started at All Saints in 87

Fair enough mate. Looking at it in the cold light of day (I had a few Warka with mates whilst watching the Polska - Argentina game yesterday) I think we brought it on ourselves a little bit. There were a few of us with Polish backgrounds who knew each other from the Saturday school and we therefore tended to hang around together a lot.
