Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

Based upon a statistically insignifcant sample (i.e. one) they age very, very well.

But to take SeanBM's point, the sample has been out of PL for many years and subject to much humidity...

Yes

When a Brit goes to IKEA, that isn't a status symbol?

No. It's a mistake

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

The treatment of small frims in the UK is diabolical. I once did some work for an energy company who then took over 70 days to pay me. In the end I refused to pay my domestic electricity bill and wrote to their CEO to tell him why. I got payed within 2 days. Cashflow is a real killer of otherwise viable buisnesses especially in the current economic climate. And it's usually the biggest firms or government agencies who are the worst culprits.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

The only things I ever hated in my time in Warsaw were the plumbing in my flat, the residents committee in my aparment block and the peacocks in the park that atatcked me not once but twice.

I liked all the other things as long as I avoided fearsome old ladies and stong wodka.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

Why can't all airlines be like Singapore Airlines?

Worst ever service was an internal AA flight from NYC to SF. Cabin crew from hell were on duty. Everthing was too much trouble for them

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) strongly supports the theory that pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate". This is interesting if true as it implies that Brits ate pomegranates when we sailed south but limes when we crossed the Atllantic.

Law / Old Polish money banknotes - what's their value today? [415]

The Zloty was revalued in 1993. The rate for old to new Zloty was 10,000:1 and the old currency was valid for two years only I believe. Your old notes are therefore worthless and useful only as souvenirs.

BTW the Euro is not the currency in Poland - it is the Zloty.

You Brits and your groupies should be damn ashamed to come on this forum and sput all the crap and insults about people who have done nothing wrong. You are the inferior and just plain pathetic.

Now please wash your hands.

I hope that is not the case anymore.

No these days we would have to pay and go through an immigration interview to get there! I'm not sure whether the sign is still there though. I haven't been back there for 25 years or so.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

transported to the 'New World' in horrific prison hulks for very minor crimes

I always remember a sign that was on Longham Bridge across the River Stour in Bournemouth where I used to go fishing as a kid. It stated that anyone damaging the bridge in anyway or harassing the local sheep would be deported to Australia.
