It depends who you ask. Try asking an Englishman, if you can find one who will talk to you.

There is a fair bit of verbal aggression, it's true. Britain is no stranger to road rage and spontaneous outbursts. Poles sometimes do it during the peak hour but I'd say it's more visible in Britain.

the difference between England and Wales in terms of courtesy in road use is startling, if I drive down to England it's obvious.
I can spot a Pole on the road from 100 metres, he (and it IS always he) is the one doing that crazy thing where you swerve out to the middle of the road to check for oncoming traffic, then overtake just ONE car, just before a blind corner...:)

Then you are excused.Especially Polki with short mini skirts and shorts should be given every possible help when a mistake appears I mean better to be prepared this way than taking driving lessons.

Poles in the UK is the number one big problem for many British people today. British people now absolutely hate Poland.

That's nonsense for a start. I guess the boors are disliked by many but that's the case in a wider context.

Few years ago.. not a problem.. just another nation of immigrants blending in as well as the french or germans for example.

But nowadays there's nearly a million Poles here, they are living in ghettoish areas like Doncaster & Peterborough etc

The Poles in Poland are choosing their location in the UK by the number of compatriots already living there.

They're opening/shopping at Polish Shops, you can find Polish Kindergartens, Polish Doctor surgery, Polish Pubs.. more and more reasons not to blend in. More reasons to not learn English. After all they're entitled to a translator whist claiming benefits and other services.

They also watch their Polish TV though satellite decoders.

There are Poles here who have lived here for 8 years, and their lack of English skills are beyond belief.

Simply put.. we don't like that ****. They're becoming more and more like a Pakistani-style of immigrant lol.

Cheeky tw@t!! ;)
But, yes, Poles do now make up a huge part of the population, but they have done for decades around here. My village has "Polish" families that came over in the 1900s for the mines.

There was a slight ghetto area to begin with,but no locals are complaing because what happened was young families took over an area of the town that had previously been a no go area full of bail hostels and prossies.

These days Poles live all over Donny and yes, a few locals still complain but most these days have met enough Poles to see them as people not just "others".

I've met Polish people who have been here for 50 years and still can't speak much English. It didn't all start in 2004, you know.

Cheeky tw@t!! ;)

I think he meant "chavvy" :)
