I'm not sure if it's the same as clearing cache/cookies etc

I don't bother doing that anymore as it messes up all passwords etc. I've only ever had to do that for this forum and last time I did it I had endless problems with my google account.

Sadly, my boxes will remain forever white :(

Or I didn't see it. I'm not camped out on the forum!

Looks a bit too small but are they mulberries?


I only had one guess!

Aha! I wanted to know what a jackyll was. I quoted maf but the quote disappeared after I posted.


Nie ma za co :)

Pulling something out of thin air?


Than what?

Because I don't have any riddles pending.....

What is that?

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [558]

This is probably going to sound nuts but is it an aid to getting into the vehicle? It's difficult to tell how high up off the ground the door to get in is from the photo.

Same here. My posts are white and don't stand out. Please give us back some colour :)

For getting snow off boots when you get in?

Presumably on the back?

Is it to mark out areas on the ground? Can't think why though.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [558]


I presume that is snow in the background? It doesn't look like anything for snow clearing though.

I honestly have no idea. The teeth on whatever it is reminds me of old hunting traps but no way is it anything like that.

@johnny reb

As you're always telling everyone, stay on topic. This thread is for Poland in photo riddles, not the US.

Polonia / Should I visit Portugal? [35]


I enjoyed both and they're definitely worth a trip.

Be prepared for lots of steep streets in Lisbon. About the only bit that isn't on a hill is the harbour area.

The good news is that there are elevators, trams and funicular railways to get up to the higher areas such as Bairro Alto. This area has lots of bars that play traditional Portuguese music, fado.

Sao Jorge castle is definitely worth seeing and if you have kids they'll probably be more fascinated by the many peacocks running round the grounds. They're everywhere!

Also worth seeing are Jerónimos Monastery and the Tower of Belém.

The food was good and reasonably priced. I mostly ate seafood whilst I was there and you should definitely try Pastel de Nata ( Portuguese custard tarts ). You'll see them in all the bakery windows.

I went to Sintra mainly to visit this place, the National Palace of Pena:

And it didn't disappoint. It was well worth going.


Wow, that's a long drive!

Polonia / Should I visit Portugal? [35]

I've been to Lisbon and Sintra.

Whereabouts in Portugal were you thinking of going?

Thinking back it might have been something to do with the time I got in there as to why I couldn't make it.....


Definitely over it 😂

I can't remember why now but I couldn't make it on the day I visited. Was not a happy bunny :(

To be honest I only ever associated them with sports cars.


You've got that right. I had a Frogeye Sprite that was equally unreliable.

Thanks Torq :)

At times I wonder why I'm still here but that's PF for you. Addictive. Sad to think that soon it could be all over :(

I had 2 previous usernames. I came here as Pam in 2011 and was a moderator here for about 18 months. Got fed up with it as you do so I left and came back as Chemikiem some time later. Got sick of all the b!tching and trolling so I left again for a couple of years and came back with my current username.......

I was also a member of ATP but I didn't post there that often.

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [245]


It's a nice idea but it would need everyone here to contribute. There are roughly 20 regular members.


It's been done here before: polishforums.com/advertising/


That's been done before too. I think it was Torq and BB that set up All Things Polish ( ATP ) which is no longer in existence. Not sure what happened to it though.


I'd like to think so. I suppose it depends on how addicted members are to this forum...............

I know that but this thread is about cars in Poland and MG is indeed sold there:
