Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde?

Most of the polish beggers here in the uk are dark haired and brown eyed.

you talk some crap...

How am I talking crap.

[quote=teashoci] Most of the polish beggers here in the uk [/quote

one minute you're complaining about working with them, now they're beggers...do they go begging before or after work?

i think youll find, if you take the time to talk to them, that they are not polish... romanies mostly

actually...not being one to cause offence...but a lot of the people saying 'got any spare change' tend to come from Teashoci's part of the world..

i stand corrected

Daisy I am from britian, all of our beggers come from eastern europe.

im from britian as well... and the majority of beggars in my area are actually native english...

As I have worked with the homeless in London [and spoken about it in previous threads] what you say simply isn't true.

Same here...and a few scots accents can be detected

Darn right, at the entrance to every Tube Station !

and the benchs outside Lidls

Hahaha :D

I've been in England for more than 5 years... Have to say that a lot of the homeless people I saw on the streets are British. Many are drug addicts. I've seen like gypsy-looking foreign women carrying their babies/kids on the Tubes begging for money, but can't say they're Polish or Eastern European or gypsies or whatever - I just couldn't tell where they were from. I've seen these types of beggars when in Italy... so maybe these types are just everywhere.

On the contrary, most of the Polish people I've met in England actually have proper jobs.

Or teafaggot's job is begging... ?

a few people from his part of the world choose this as a living

Definitely, his is begging for attention here and gets a lot of it... so for him - mission accomplished.
Polish people are too proud to be beggars.

teashoci is just a miserable person and should be ignored. Misery loves company :) I've not seen 1 positive post coming from this person. I can';t understand why it wastes it's time here.

For the topic, I just see a lot of brown and green eyes :)

The ones I have seen in the North West are from Romania. They hold up photographs of their starving children back home. They always try to shake your hand and then won't let go. The ones I've seen seem to sell used copies of the 'Big Issue'.

I really cannot believe any polish person would ever do this. They would prefer to work very hard at anything rather than beg from anyone.

I have blue eyes ,lol........

polish people ARE eastern european, They are not westerners like myself.

........think we kinda know that somehow :)

Think again !

Yes, I've read it................And ?? Your point is what exactly ?

It doesn't say they are beggars. I say again, Polish people will work hard and long hours to earn a living rather than beg.

I know, trust me..........

Now, next subject.

How many homeless brits do you see in poland ?

Here is a story of a polish man arrested for begging in ireland.

And .......the point is what ?

I can't see where you are going with this so I shall Pass. :(

i agree with miranda.

and lets not forget we ALL desend from Africa

Ha ha!! I was in France in La Rochelle recently on holiday and it is a nice town with a lot of history. I thought that it was strange as I had not seen any homeless people until I walked in to the centre of town and there, by the main statue, was a group of young men who looked homeless with big dogs twice the size that they were. One young lad had a huge dog to keep and feed and I mean HUGE!! As I passed by I could hear them talking and the first word I heard was the Polish word 'kurwa' and I realized that already I was once more back home!!

Yes, all Poles are blue-eyed & blond, except for those who are redheads, brunettes or
bald or who have brown or hazel eyes...some are also albinos, but a small percentage.

Most of my wife's family have brown eyes but my wife's eyes are blue.

there are many, many many different tribes of Poles including Mazurians, Polans, Silesians, Warmiaks, Pomeranians, Kashubians, Slovincians, Kociewiacy, Borowiacy, Bieżuńczanie, Bobrzanie and many, many others. I'm the first non-100% Polish member on my mom's side of the family wherein everyone has blue or brown eyes (mom-blue, aunt-blue, grandpa-blue, grandma-blue), though my great grandfather had hazel eyes with an orange band around the center. He said that some Poles from Krakow have this orange band and that while it's not only limited to the Polish, it's far more common in a tribe of Poles decent from the Krakow region.

Similarly, post WWI, there are 3 major groups of Poles living in Poland: The blonde-haired, blue-eyed members of the nothern areas where the majority of the population was of German decent (Prussian decent, to be more accurate); the predominately more Russian Poles who usually occupied the eastern parts of Poland that bordered Russia, as well as the southeastern-most parts of the country and lastly, the Poles of Austrian decent, which I am. My neighbor, 7 years ago was named Nowakowski and he was a Russian Pole with dark hazel eyes and "mousey" brown hair. He, his father and his mother had the same hair and dark hazel eyes while his brother had brown hair and dark, almost purple, blue eyes.

I've met some Poles with blonde hair and blue eyes, but they usually have English or German parents as well so I'm really not sure what the ratio is between non-Germanic Poles and b-hair/b-eyes
