UK, Ireland / Buying a Polish vehicle in the UK [28]
PNC check is first port of call and then HP / credit check, I would imagine these are quite hard to do if the car is foreign owned.
Cloning cars in the UK is on the rise, so its nothing to do with a deceiptful mind, its about looking out for your own insterests, cars are not cheap and if you pay that money to someone and then find out the car is a write-off (any decent mechanic will be able tell if its a cut 'n'shut) or if you get the lease purchase company at your door taking the car back because it has outstanding payments...Its the purchasers responsiblity to ensure that what they are buying is legal if its a private transaction....Many a Brit has ended up with a large debt and no car to polish on the driveway because they didnt do the necessary checks..
explain how Honda UK can check to see if finance is owed to a Polish bank or leasing company?

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]
Thats what would happen in the UK..But these stories about this place mirror plenty of "shady" stip bars in the UK..Only thing to do is for tourist information places in Krakow to "advise" people not to go..But this needs the co-operation from the local council and the police...
If you read this thread, someone else mentioned that this happened to them..the use of "tourist" menus is common in a lot of resorts in other countires.
Paid £65 for a return flight to Malaga earlier this year, paid £100 for a return flight to Prague this year..So actually it can be cheaper to get to Spain..depends on the airline..
by certain "undemocratic" moves of local authorities. I mean harrassing the business premises by inspections, raids etc.

One poster who com-lained in some forum said they used a trick with double menu cards. The normal one is displayed at the beginning, later replaced by higher prices one. I am not sure if it should be believed. This would be just too much.

History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [289]
Come on Seaus, surely that was a joke - are you forgetting about ther Reformation?
It's not so much about the differences in religions but the fact that belonging to two different churches creates a division in the population.
Im sure you are aware of it, but you didnt mention it.
It is, in so much as Catholics were forced to convert to the Church of England and Catholic churches were burnt down and monastories had their roofs removed (the building was no long able to be used - hence the reason you find so many ruins of old monastories in the UK)
It seems hard to believe, aphro. Desecrating another Christian church?? What makes the RCC so different anyway?
Come on Seaus, surely that was a joke - are you forgetting about ther Reformation?
Wait, I thought you were British? You might as well ask why did Protestants and Catholics kill each other since they're all Christians anyway.
It's not so much about the differences in religions but the fact that belonging to two different churches creates a division in the population.
Im ashamed for Sheep that someone not even British has to bring this up.
It's pure idiocy! I'm aware of it, vetala, very much so! Sectarian divides in Scotland are laughable. Seeing differences where there are more commonalities is just lunacy!

it is not the same. I understand that you are looking for the reference point, but sometimes there cannot be one.

[i]Ghetto was originally used in Venice to describe the area where Jews were compelled
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto
Evidently your level is English language isn't too good, the word compelled means:
1. To force, drive, or constrain: Duty compelled the soldiers to volunteer for the mission.
2. To necessitate or pressure by force; exact: An energy crisis compels fuel conservation. See Synonyms at force.
3. To exert a strong, irresistible force on; sway
So it had little to do with them "wanting" to live in tight knit communities...it was rather through lack of choice, same as in Prague where they were only allowed to live in a certain part of the city.
jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/Prague.html
In 1179, the church announced that Christians should avoid touching Jews. In this period, civil rights granted to Jews were severely limited and they were forced to build their community on the right bank of the Vltava, close to Staromestske Namesti, the Old Town Square. This limited their movements and identified them as a minority group. This was the origin of the Jewish ghetto. By day movement was free, but in the evening and on festivals the gates of the ghetto were locked.

Generally cheaper in the UK, it stands to reason as they buy in bulk.
Didnt shop on the markets, maybe its different in Poland, markets in the UK are comparable to the supermarkets - wouldnt personally subject myself to market clothes, but thats just my preference - you pay for what you get and its a false economy to buy cheap clothes (got a fire trap jumper there that Ive had for 10 years...still like new! - purchased some knickers from primarney that lasted one wash!)
Then they really shouldn't have 2 kids when they are earning that amount.

Agree totally.
There are plenty of shyty areas in Britain too that people are "forced" to live in because their income dictates they can not aford to live in a better area, its not about "choice" its about "lack of choice" - people over here are forced to pay rediculous prices for houses because the market went stupid, of course they have a choice, buy not not to buy..but if you want to get on the property ladder, you dont have any choice but to pay stupid prices - example: friend purchased house in 1993 for £22K just sold house for £199K, its a 2 bed terrace FFS!
Sorry D I have to disagree with you totally on this...
Prepared is the wrong word i think you mean forced
Agree totally.
They are not forced, there are plenty of places in Krk you can rent or buy on the cheap.
There are plenty of shyty areas in Britain too that people are "forced" to live in because their income dictates they can not aford to live in a better area, its not about "choice" its about "lack of choice" - people over here are forced to pay rediculous prices for houses because the market went stupid, of course they have a choice, buy not not to buy..but if you want to get on the property ladder, you dont have any choice but to pay stupid prices - example: friend purchased house in 1993 for £22K just sold house for £199K, its a 2 bed terrace FFS!
Sorry D I have to disagree with you totally on this...

Law / Poland's going forward while Britain is still trying to wake up [86]
No I didnt, we are the 3rd largest contributer, even though we are in an economic mess at the moment...We're still giving the same.
Iceland didnt help either. Not all Brits have debt.
Ah yah like Poland is the only nation to get Eu funds.
You kinda failed on your own post...

Must be scotch mist that my uncle is living in - people can buy land and build, ever seen the programme Grand Designs? Its just cheaper in the UK to buy and a lot less hassle, why bark when you have a dog? How many of those who have built houses could have afforded to do so had they not left Poland to earn money in the UK? How many who live in Poland earning Polish wages live in small communist apartments?
Policies are just that...Im sure people will believe it when it happens.
Most people have laminate or oak these days.
No offence, but it didnt have a lot to lose to begin with and Im sure the cushion of cash from the EU and millions leaving to find work elsewhere helped, thus injecting cash in to the economy.
Poles can build their own houses - Brits can't

True, loads of work for the next few Polish govts to do but there is general agreement between the parties on overall policy.

Poland never fell into recession.
