Law / Can I take the Polish written test and obtain a Polish driving licence? [28]

Can anyone from any country visit poland with their existing driving license, take the polish written test and obtain a polish driving license. I am hoping someone on this forum knows the answer. They are not a resident of poland (they have a U.A.E. passport & driving license) but if they need a polish address they could use mine.

Thanks very much.

PS I have searched through the forum and this topic has been mentioned before
but I am just double checking.....

Life / Picking up BBC television in Poland [41]

I think there might be a shared sat dish on the block where I have a flat. Would anyone
happen to know if I buy a receiver would I be able to pick up english freesat programmes.
I think the sat for England is called astra on 28.2 degress east ( I looked it up) but is it
the same one as used in Poland..
Many thanks

PS The reason I think there might be a shared dish for our building is because it is much larger than other dishes around and I have a mystery cable coming into my flat and it's not the tv aerial cable....

News / Zloty exchange rates - is this just speculation? [87]

As the Zloty appears to be getting stronger against other currencies and with the unofficial opion of friends in Poland that the economy is heading for trouble then the feeling was that the zloty would continue getting stronger for maybe another year or so and then nosedive - as an example you might get 4.20zl to the Pound today and maybe in a years time you might get 3.80zl to the Pound but from then on expect a decline to more like 6zl or even 7zl to the Pound.

Any thoughts from the forum or is this just speculation - this conversation came about because friends over in Poland have some income in Pounds and of course grumble about getting a bad exchange rate.
