News / Polexit? Almost half of the Poles believe that Poland would be better off outside of the EU [548]


You are spot on in your analysis mate!


I don't think so.
People in favour of the EU give far too much weight to economic "benefits" and "opportunities", there is a huge world outside of the restricted, stagnant EU.

Poland is not ready to leave the EU just yet but when the success of the UK post Brexit is seen, it will embolden them to consider leaving too...... and then the whole deck of cards that this false union has been created upon will start to collapse.

This is the beginning of the end of the EU..... a failed project because people pushed too hard....

It is the only way forward for the EU.
This mass expansion has been a huge mistake, as has been increased fedaralism.
Nobody wants it, apart from the French and Germans that run it for their own benefit...... everyone sees that now....the game is up.

@TheOther
Yeah, but remainers said it would happen before we left.It didn't...


You are just one in a long line of remainers that continue to believe the worst will happen..... so far you have been wrong every time.....

See you in 5 years when the UK is hunky dory and Europe is struggling.....


Nah, it will be easier without EU constraints.

You lot are just $hitting yourselves.... because you know that The UK will be fine......

And you can add England, Scotland and Wales,....
There is an old saying, and I think there is some truth in it.
"Poles know the cost of everything and tbe value of nothing"..
This is not true of most Poles, but many are guilty of this.

Pro EU supporters told us this would start happening soon after we voted to leave.
Over 3 years later it still hasn't happened.
Flybe's problems have nothing to do with Brexit and Sterling is doing fine thanks.

And that is what the EU are afraid of because they know this too.
That is why they have been trying so hard to tie Britain in closer to them.

News / Polexit? Almost half of the Poles believe that Poland would be better off outside of the EU [548]


That is the same thing.............and Britain won't make a pigs ear of it because whatever arrangement we do or don't make with the EU will make very little difference either way.

The important thing is not the deal or no deal we get from the EU but what Britain does in the years to come.
The most important thing is that it will be down to Britain to succeed or fail.

Not any more.
This poll was from last month and 47% thought Poland would be better off out and 45% in.

This is a Polish forum.... now f ¥€k off.....

I have never heard Ryszku.
Ryszek and Ryszu yes, but never Ryszku.

Genealogy / Does "Ryszard" work as a surname in Poland? [37]

I have never heard Ryszard used as a surname in Poland.
Always a first or middle name, sometimes shortened to Rysziu or Ryszek.

Sad but true.
I love British pubs but Irish pubs are even better, especially when some music is being played by some of the locals.

You can speak and understand a language fluently, but you can never hide your accent.....

Yeah, with a judenfrei Serbia.......your posts get more and more pathetic....I really can't understand why your Nazi mythology has not been banned from this forum.

Disgusted of Pinner.


Yeah, a beautiful part of Croatia..... and it will remain a part of Croatia forever.....

Work / Moving to Poland from Ireland - starting a professional life [32]

You can be as fluent as a native in a foreign language but very few people master the skill of hiding their accent.
If I speak a sentence of words in Polish that I am very familiar with, with Poles, I can pass as Polish.
If i use words that I am not so familiar with, Poles hear my accent.
They are not always sure what it is but often guess it is British.
When I speak French to French people that I don't know they will not believe that I am British.
They usually think that I am Belgian or sometimes Swiss or Alsatian.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

@cms neuf

Hybrids are really taking off in the UK.
Not so much total electric cars.
Electric "refuelling" stations are springing up all over.
I think we need to make one more jump on battery power for electic cars to take off and a British inventor may have just done that.

Off-Topic / DALMATIA - How much Poles love Dalmatia ? [123]


You are a pathetic nationalist and dreamer..... some ancient Poles thought we were descended from Sarmatians.
This has never been proven.
And Serbs were not included in that club.
Now B off you silly man!

Study / 90% of Poles have university degree? [57]


Because these are the people that most Polish graduates have to compete against when they move to Britain or America for better prospects.
Unfortunately, when they get here they find that 50% of the population now have degrees as opposed to 10% 40 years ago.
Degrees have been so dumbed down that they are worth less than 3 A levels 40 years ago, or the French and Polish equivalent the Bac.
So many very bright young Poles find that they have to start at the bottom and work their way up.
Tough, but not such a bad thing if they can learn on their way up.

Real Estate / Carpetying style? - question to Brits living in Poland [26]


Most don't, but I have seen it.
The carpet must go rotten after a while with all that water and steam.

Real Estate / Carpetying style? - question to Brits living in Poland [26]


Not almost!
Is disgusting....... only Brits do this.....but not me :-)

Work / Moving to Poland from Ireland - starting a professional life [32]


Because Polish is a bloody difficult language to learn.
I am fluent in English, French and Polish and can get by, just about in German.
I can write in English and French but am still scared to write in Polish.
It is one of the most difficult European languages to learn.

Real Estate / Carpetying style? - question to Brits living in Poland [26]

Wall to wall carpeting is a very British thing. I have even seen carpets in British bathrooms!
Poles, like most Europeans are not so mad on wall to wall carpeting, Preferring rugs instead.

Study / 90% of Poles have university degree? [57]


Yeah, my experience has proven to me that an older, experienced, non graduate is much better than a young graduate.
When I went to school only 10% of students went to Uni.
Now it is about 50%, so the value of a degree has greatly diminished.

Work / Moving to Poland from Ireland - starting a professional life [32]

Good point.
If your Polish is not great, you will struggle outside of rhe cities and talking to older people.

Work / Moving to Poland from Ireland - starting a professional life [32]

@Irish1234

You need to remain open minded and accepting.
Some things in Polish attitudes and culture are very similar, especially with the older Catholic generation.
But you will find many attitudes that may even shock you.
Many of them caused by years of Communist rule.
But not all.
There is more racism in Poland than in Ireland.
But when it comes to party time, celebrations and drinking, you will feel quite at home.... :-)
