Why do UK people look down on us? Maybe because plenty of Polish people work in the sex and cleaning industry? [51]
I think a few have misunderstood my post. What I was attempting to illustrate is differing attitudes to Polish people depending upon UK area.
It is my observation that Polish people are very welcome generally in the Northwest, that includes Cumbria, Cheshire and North Wales. In fact, in the town of Flint just on the Welsh border has a thriving Polish community which is welcomed by the original inhabitants. Also, Polish are very welcome in places like Leek, Staffordshire as many places like these have a long history of welcoming in Polish from WW2.
Many Polish avoid inner city areas (including, obviously London) which often resemble the Punjab, preferring instead to settle in places that make them feel more at home. Plenty of evidence to support this on google and backed-up by Polish people I have met and chatted to.
Just my observations and I'm sure there will be people who disagree :)
