Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [439]
When my extended family first came to England, some of my uncles got work on a building site, building houses to replace the ones destroyed in The London Blitz.
None of them could speak English very well so the bosses created 3 teams and put all The Poles in one team together.
After a few weeks it became abundantly clear that The Poles were building houses quicker than The Brits.
This was because they worked harder and faster and didn't take endless "Tea Breaks".
This but The Brit workers in a bad light.
So one day The Brits confronted The Poles and told them that they had to slow down.
As you can imagine, Poles don't like being told to do anything..... if they had asked, it may have been different.
Anyway, a fight broke out, and although The Poles were outnumbered, they beat the crap out of The Brits.
The Brits then had more respect for The Poles and a deal was done that The Poles would take some breaks and The Brits would take less breaks.
Productivity went up and everyone was happy, including the bosses.
