While I do know of some man that may take a gig or two outside of their Jobs 95% of man I know and knew had 1 job. In fact it was my mom that at times worked more than one job due to the demand.

Life / Polish females who made it [29]
We also have to rememberthat marrying a girl to a wealthy man was often the only way to secure her economically in the future. Today a woman can marry a poor man and still secure her living by her own work. Back then she could only rely on man.
In the past it was common, especially among noble and aristocratic families, to marry off their kids to "the right" family.

Life / In Poland on holiday - need help with bad case of homesickness [108]
It will be 10 years soon.
I meant compared to UK:)
I slightly recovered and I'm back from my holiday.
The funny thing is when I like two sides for the same issue. E.g.:
I like that doctors, nurses etc are being polite, more partner-ish etc in UK but I hate that the hard truths are being glossed over,
Example that I came across was a pregnant women (just the beginning of pregnancy) with BMI 30 was told that it's fine. While I understand that she shouldn't go on a diet or anything in that time I would like a middle ground when she would be informed that it's too high and care has to be put into healthy food.
Or H&s:
I like the care put into h&S measures in UK but I also like the feeling of personal responsibility that comes with the more relaxed Polish approach.

No, it had more personal touch to it :) I was never bothered that much about money beside being able to have a roof over my head and enough to survive without a big struggle.
That is big part of my feelings atm. It seems Poland is constantlyimproving, I see so much work done, things progressing etc. Even the people I talk to seem more interested in improving themselves....
It's so motivating.
it was a seemingly well calculated decision based on the fact that you could not envision Poland affording you the same life

I know I'm not getting younger but I'm not 40 yet. What will it be when I'm 50?
I think that is a lie emigrees often tell themselves :) By the time you get there you are either too old and weak, too connected to the new place ( especially grown up kids) or disconnected from your homeland.
Maybe it's because you're getting older.

Uk has one of the most amazing building in the world. True.
But the average streets in towns is a different matter. Not to mention cleaner and better kept ( of course I compare only from my limited experience)
I'm sure that it's just a phase, that is why I was talking about homesickness but I feel that if I won a lottery I would move back in a blank of an eye.

I'm not alone neither in UK nor in Poland.
Because it's not only about me. Plus as I'm not as wealthy as some of PFers so getting a place, work etc would be a big risk.
I do not share your bare legs aversion so I don't mind. I do mind jogging bottoms for every occasion including job interview.
I can agree only about the street crossing and shop assistants.
And no, I'm not like that every time I visit. This is first time.

I'm in Poland on holiday and I'm suffering the worst case of homesicness since I moved.
Everything seems better. It's cleaner, pavementa are wider, I can see new investments everywhere, kids still go on their own around streets without being in danger or being a threat themselves. Guys are capable of wearing jeans to the store instead of jogging bottoms etc.
I know not everything is so sweet but I'm having a bad case of 'what have I done, I should have never left.
If I don't fix it I will be one unhappy bunny in two weeks.

Less than 50/50. Due to the distance 5 minutes delay is nothing. Add not knowing the train station (my assumption here) and you have a very risky change over. Even for local trains I would like to have 10+ minutes for a change.
It is true though that you can inform the crew about the change and they will try to hold the second train.
