Mixed feelings after moving from Poland to England

Polish too has all those half-sound "s"-consonants, as in "swiat", "sily" etc., plus nasals, non-existent in Russian, Bulgarian, Czech and probably any other Slavic tongue I can think of:-)

You can also add lot of "rz" and "szcz".

Yep, and then that (in-)famous "liquid-l" of Standard Polish, except, I've heard from Polish native speakers,
in the Zakopane region of Tatry, as well as older stage diction:-) This is quite distinct from the Russian "l-sound"
before the tricky soft sign.

Please back on topic everyone

So why are you writing English using American phraseology and spelling?

Because I learned English by watching american movies.

The post is written very fluently, like a moderately educated native-speaker.

Thanks. :)

I lived for about 6 months in shared flat in Salford. We moved to Sale this summer. Everything changed. Is anyone here from Sale?

My house which is a 2 bed terraced was £37,000.

Wow. Where is that? A 1 bedroom flat in my area is at least £140.000

Where is that?

The chap pointed that out - near Rochdale somewhere...great real ales at 2.09 in J.D Weatherspoon and some of the best fish and chip shops in the world. Cheaper and better than the Tri-city offerings.
