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

- Airport 12 zloty. I was there for 35 minutes.

6zl for half an hour in short stay parking in an area that really doesn't have abdundant parking available. Or you could park very close to the terminal for free.

- Hotel Andersa - there for lunch, maybe 90 minutes 10 zloty.

Well, yes - it's smack bang in the centre of the city and financial area.

- rutted and dirty piece of land near Rynek - was for 70 minutes - 8 zloty.

You could have parked there for 120 minutes for the same price.

These prices have all doubled in recent years and the "kazdy rozpoczete godzina" thing is a rip off.

Why? A rip off is when you aren't informed of the full facts. It's quite normal to pay rounded up to the next hour - or you could use on-street parking and mobilet, paid to the minute.

But in general I have no idea how the Poles afford their cars - it certainly seems a huge status symbol for them or their work is paying for it.

The amount of undeclared income might have something to do with it...

While I'm at it - why would you park in a dirty piece of land near Stary Rynek when you can park in Park Wolnosci for the same price?

Life / Catholic "Telewizja Trwam" from Poland - your thoughts? [98]

Any proof ?or just a conspiracy theory ?

I suspect you look at how numerous illegal acts by Ryzdyk's empire were simply ignored during the PiS Government.

Wasn't there parliamentary commission set by PO to investigate alleged misuses of power during Kaczynski "regime" - they found - attention attention .... nothing of the sort!

As far as I know, he's on the verge of being hauled up for abusing his power. There is certainly a plan to strip him of his parliamentary immunity.

I would advice you to not use those words while speaking or writing under your real name - it is an open invitation for suing !

I invite Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the retarded dwarf, to come and sue I, Arthur Critchley.

I'll even post my address if he wants.

Life / Catholic "Telewizja Trwam" from Poland - your thoughts? [98]

The prosecution service - which is not independent - make that decision. And 'trwam' had some pretty influential supporters during the PiS regime, no?

Indeed, the manipulation of the prosecutors by PiS was pretty sickening. Much of what PO is doing is reversing the damage done by those crazy couple of years - when you realise how many people owed their position to Jaroslaw Kaczynski, you soon see why he should never be allowed near Government again.
