I agree but unlike Poland there is unlimited work for students, cash in hand, you can make good money during evenings in restaurants and weekends casual labour

I did exactly that to get through my business studies qualifications.

Easier to go England for study than Poland, visa to England is not as difficult and with less corruption.

Do not use agent , they are hand in hand with bad people

Ah you see where I am the shopkeepers build a little drinking den outside for them to drink in, one even has a little wooden WC for them to use , the door even has a love heart cut out of it to let the air in , how sweet and what a brilliant idea to keep them out of sight and off the street corners.

To be honest the Straz Miejska are doing a good job they have a card warning system , I don't know how but after too many warnings the worst offenders disappear for a while, I will ask our local policeman what happens to them at the next barbie (If he is not too pissed).

P.S

At no time ever has my wife or I felt threatened by them, different story in the UK.

After having reflected on his actions I can see his problem, he is using his own (very small) car for deliveries, he would struggle to get more than two parcels the size of what was being delivered to me in his car that and he probably only gets paid per item doesn't help him.

But there is no way I would have gone to his boss with the evidence of his little misdemeanour, and I would never "kick him up the A$$", the guy is trying to make a living, sadly his small car isn't quite up to the job, but he is doing his best, but I pay the fuel to fetch my own parcels, anyway he said he would watch out in the future all is good. I will invite him to the next barbecue .

This is the point as Poles we can share the good and the bad with no fear of speaking out when we feel something is wrong even when we are criticising our selves, I still would not swap this place for where I lived in the UK no way


Doug you have no idea!, and I am not going to get into a Pi$$ing contest with you today.

Doug in your defence at least you are honest about you dislike of the catholic church, and seeing us as a nation as going back in time, but this is nothing new many British and other EU nationals I have met here feel the same way.

The thing is by staying back in time as you put it saves the Polish nation from many of the corruptions in western Europe today,, multiculturalism and liberalism for example.

Polish Investor when I was talking about keeping Riff Raff out of the the village I was talking about people like Dougpo1 , The drunks and druggies are far more pleasant to be around.

Hey I am just telling you how it is in a small village far far away from the big cities, when I arrived five years ago I was warned by a number of neighbours and the previous owners of the farm to watch my back especially when it came to a certain list of individuals, all this has been proved right over the years, I have also seen people move in then move out due to the hassle of the petty idiocy that goes on around here.

Where I am, many of the able have gone abroad to work, we are left with elderly farmers young mothers with husbands abroad and a swathe of dunks and kids on narcotics,

By the way I am Polish albeit I was born in England spent most of my life in the UK and working abroad,

Having said the above we have a good community of neighbours here which comprises of Brit expat retirees/businessmen and local Polish people doctors, vets policemen and councillors and we get together on a regular basis drinking and barbecuing, these guys would agree with my comments.


Not here not by any stretch of the imagination, the only thing that has grown in five years is the number of supermarkets

Again I love it here, without all the entertainment it would be boring and too quiet here.

At least I am not like the Poland hating troll Dougpol1, just search for his user Id and the word scum in polanda.com you will see what I mean.

Who is messing the neighbours about, we get on just fine thanks, If I want to have fun in Poland I will do so without some Poland hating riff raff expat threatening to put a boot up my arse. thanks.

I think you will find that dirk would be one of the last people on earth to Absolve them.

My family survived deportation to the Russian gulags and later had the honour to fight the Nazis in Europe.

Germans Russians of that time were all rapist murdering scum, they should have been eradicated off the face of the earth.

Never lend the gardener 50zl, you will never see him again.

Problem is that people get hustled once and never go back to that person or company again, this national sport is damaging Poland financially, from experience its simpler and more secure to get things done in China than it is in Poland'

From what I have seen on the ground I would never invest my or shareholders money in Poland, its much simper elsewhere.

But still a good place to live if you don't have to run the gauntlet of being ripped off if you happen to be (as you said) the unfortunate "wealthier westerners or ignorant/naive people".

And ass you probably know Dirk, you always need to watch your back here.

Nigerians could probably learn a thing or two if they spent some time in Poland.

Even I didn't see the this coming see below:-

Guy in the village dies and family put sale house up for sale, I was interested to buy it for my bro, wonderful secluded garden,, next thing I know is that his neighbour goes into the garden, chops down every single tree for firewood, only tree stumps to be seen., he must have the most expensive firewood in Poland. oh hang on it's cost his neighbours family, no one is going to want to sit out in that martian landscape. or maybe that's how the natives around here like things.

Laugh a minute here that's for sure.

If the mods don't mind I will keep you all posted on life in Dolnoland.

You see you can have fun in Poland.

The truth is Poland is very Polish, you will find regular circumstances as follows:

a guy I know bought second hand car then find out the guy cut out the catalytic converter for scrap, so when he needs to get it road tested it will fail.

People lie, cheat,take the easy option at all times, and its acceptable there is even a special word for it here kombinować

The latest for me is the postie was not delivering parcels, just leaving notes saying I was not in so I had to drive down to the post office to collect them.

Anyway I reviewed the cctv on the front porch and all he did was post a pre filled out note and did not even knock. the door.

When confronted he swore blindly he had tried to deliver, you should have seen his face when I pointed out the camera, haha he said he would take more care in the future lol.

Its all part of the fun here you constantly have to watch out, being awkward and cheating is a national sport.

I treat it all as one big game especially the bureaucracy, on the plus side it makes thing very difficult for any old riff raff that thinks Poland is an easy touch.

Ok what is tough is the fact that your intelligence is constantly being insulted by the childish attempts to extort fob off and lie.

You get used to it after a while, its only a game.

I was not talking about freedom, I was talking about dignity, which Poland kept intact even while it was enslaved.don't worry Poland is full of surprises for those who wish to manipulate or cause harm.

History / Where did the power of Poland vanish to, since... let`s say, some 300 years ago? [180]


No need we never lost our dignity, unlike nations that enslaved and killed others as part of empire, or those such as Russia and Germany who started wars that killed innocents in their multiple millions.
