Probably not. Star ratings of hotels differ widely throughout the World.

Vanished and gone out of business are two totally different matters. How many on that list have been bought up by other airlines? The UK is a vastly different market then Poland. The UK's air travel isn't illegily subsidised by the government. The UK airlines that fail do so becasue of over capacity nothing else. In Poland the market has no capacity and it still fails. Your the one who keeps bleating on about how well the Polish economy is doing. So the Mr. Economist how come the airlines and tour operators are now going bust in a economy where wages are rising 6% a year and GDP is growing at around 3%?

The west didn't have the fight left in them for another war against the Russians. Churchill suggested arming the germans to fight the russians.

Poland's GDP rose by over 4% last year and BOMI is in the richest parts of Poland. In the UK a major Supermarket located in the most affluent parts of the UK would never go under. Can you imagine Waitrose going bust? The worrying thing for Poles is that all of the Large and Medium sized Supermarkets will soon be foreign owned (Auchan, Tesco, Aldi, Netto, Lidl, Biedronka, Real, Carrefour) and add on top of that Leroy Merlin, Costorama and RTV Euro, Makro!! Can you name a large Polish shop? Alma... and if BOMI are finding it tough then Alma must also be. Think of the proportion of household spending that goes via Supermarkets (Our household spends about 12,000zl a year in Supermarkets) it is a very worrying trend.

If you take a look at the UK retail sector and failures then the business that they leave behind is being taken by UK owner business on the whole or have succumbed to the internet. (Clinton Cards, Game, Barratts, Alexon, T J Hughes, Jane Norman, Habitat, Focus DIY, Floors-2-Go, the Officers Club, Oddbins, Ethel Austin, Faith Shoes, Adams Childrenswear, Thirst Quench, Stylo, Mosaic, Principles, Sofa Workshop, Allied Carpets, Viyella, Dewhursts, MFI, and Zavvi/Virgin Megastore) If you look at some companies that went under they have re-opened online (woolworths, mfi) and have used the recession merely as an excuse to restructure/cut costs.

The same for Olt Express can you imagine Easyjet going bust? What percentage of UK airlines have gone bust in the last 10 years? (I can think of silverjet an all business class airline). Malev went bust because they were stopped from receiving state aid but LOT do and are still around just hanging on.

Travel / Weekend In Lodz. Things to do? [10]

Hi Birney

Beer in Poland is about 7-10zl for a half litre (about 1.40 to 2 quid) you can drink cheaper then that but these places need to be avoided for us brits. In supermarkets the cheapest lagers are about 1.80zl for a can (about 40p) this is ok. Best thing to do is to drink vodka (8 quid a bottle). Most nightclubs don't charge for entry. If you want paintball etc then send these guys an email.. somebody will speak english.

Tip for you is that the poles dont have a sense of humour when it comes to acting like an arse when pissed so behave yourselves. Also remember that it is a catholic country and although some polish girls are pretty they arn't easy. Be careful I can't imagine how bad polish prisons are.

Travel / OLT Jetair (flight to Wroclaw) [38]

[


Why should the government give up the monopoly that (government funded) LOT have on internal flights to a private company on the best routes? Why would the average Pole pay to fly when the trains are so cheap? Poland will never have an 'easyjet' or a 'flybe'.

Travel / Ryanair travel by air - subtle scams to be wary of [98]


Next time book a flight with LOT or BA and pay up or shut up. If you pay 150zl for a return ticket what do you expect? Flying used to be a luxury afforded by the few who paid through the nose for 5 star service.

You'd have to be stupid not to know about the money that Poland gets from the EU which is deposited into the EU by the UK tax payers.

Which neighbour did we invade with a german king on the throne? Come on if you're so up on British history. The royal family are inter related to most of Europes royal families and have been for hundreds of years. The Kaiser, Tsar and George the 5th all stemmed from Queen Victoria.

The Poles on here bleat on about how the British left the Poles in 1939 and 1945 but are so quick to dismiss any wrong doings! (Poles in the German army (twice), assisting with the killing of Jews, Invation of Czech Republic) the 'Polish Answer' is to blame somebody else! ...it's easier!


Poles re-writing history to suit themselves...again!

Trying to be 'clever and derogotary' about a country like the UK when you are Polish is a waste of time. The 'islands' are part of Europe although as you quite rightly point out not on the mainland. The UK is the 2nd biggest economy in europe, the head of the commonwealth (1/3rd of the planet) and has a seat at all of the major world events. We also pay a large chunk of all development in Poland and feed your kids back home. Unlike the Polish who are a nation of expensive toilet cleaners!

Funny how you Poles like the UK to be in Europe when we are giving you free money!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amusement_parks_in_Europe (it's on this list!!!)

It definately says EUROPE in the lies printed by the Polish press. Maybe Alton Towers should seek for an apology from the Polish government for this Anti-British outburst ;)

Don't be silly. Yes it is! A head dress is an integral part of a uniform. Be it a beret or a helmet!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Army_Uniform .. in Britain it is.

In the UK we've never worn German Helmets unless we got a really bad haircut from our mother. We've definitely never invaded a neighbour wearing German helmets!

Which you had stolen from the Czechs previously! Originally the are was part of Morovia so belonged to neither. After that it became part of Bohemia. When did it start becoming Polish?

'Up to the mid-19th century members of the local Slav population did not identify themselves as members of larger ethnolinguistic entities. In Cieszyn Silesia (as in all West Slavic borderlands) various territorial identities pre-dated ethnic and national identity. Consciousness of membership within a greater Polish or Czech nation spread slowly in Silesia.[11]

From 1848 to the end of the 19th century, local Polish and Czech people co-operated, united against the Germanizing tendencies of the Austrian Empire and later of Austria-Hungary.[12] At the end of the century, ethnic tensions arose as the area's economic significance grew. This growth caused a wave of immigration from Galicia. About 60,000 people arrived between 1880 and 1910.[13][14] The new immigrants were Polish and poor, about half of them being illiterate. They worked in coal mining and metallurgy. For these people the most important factor was material well-being; they cared little about the homeland from which they had fled. Almost all of them assimilated into the Czech population'

So then why would Poles assimilate into a population of foreigners in Poland?

Harry the Poles probably omit to teach their kids about that disgraceful part of their history. Nice helmets!

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Harry maybe the Poles are taught that the British and French should leave their countries unguarded against what they assumed was a far superior German airforce to fight the Germans in Poland. I'm sure that this would have been popular in Poland but suicidal for the Allied forces. The British air force as at 9th september was:-

Fighter command (without 6 group):
Blenheims :72
Spitfire:104
Gladiators:42
Hurricane :133
Bomber Command:
Battles:145
Blenheim:100
Wellington:67
Whitley:60
Hampden:75

The Royal Navy although being one of the worlds biggest wasn't in anyway capable of taking on the German navy at that time.

What did the Poles want the British to do commit suicide for the Polish nation?

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


Although i have to agree with you regarding all of your post I would like to defend the Polish fleet for it's defence of the Isle of Wight. Unlike the Brit bashing Poles on here us British are gentlemen enough to thank the Poles for their assistance. It seems that in Poland the kids are still being taught history that tell them that Polands true enemy in the world is Britain. TBH in Britain we don't give a stuff about Poland's history.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Is anybody else a bit bored of the ungrateful Polish nation thinking that we did nothing for 6 years! Matbe we should stop giving them money now to thank them!

Since 1989 what have the Poles done to strenghten it's defences. It spends a woeful amount of it's GDP on defence. In the event the Poles are hoping that somebody else will bail them out as usual! The UK spent 62billion dollars on defence in 2011 (2.6% of its GDP usd893 per capita) the Poles usd285 per capita! Next time we agree to save the Poles arse we should ask them for payment first.
