News / Goodbye Sunday Shopping in Poland - Hello Electoral Reform [246]


One way round that's been suggested is to buy online, possibly using Argos-type terminals and the store being legally a collection point!


Are they demanding Sundays off? :-)

Life / Solar energy in Poland [22]


Unfortunately there are bureaucrtic estrictions concerning energy sources, and believe it or not there aren't even smart meters. The coal lobby is powerful in PL.

Neither good nor bad.


Almost every country, including Poland, has a native population. The world is however getting smaller, and no matter how much you squeal, people will emigrate. Like you did.


Don't care much for yourself in that case, being from a Party background...

Travel / Why do you visit Poland? [223]


The Emalia factory is worth a visit. No need to use any paid-for service to go there though; it's easy to get to and the Tourist Information Centre are happy to advise.

I always use egg - it helps. It depends how you like the dough - I prefer it fairly thin and glossy. The type of flour you use makes a difference too.

Travel / Need some info on my trip to Poland to buy some clothes? [11]


This can be true. I don't think there will be any real difference between the shops in a mall in Warsaw and those in a mall in Vilnius.

Berlin is good for clothes shopping - often a bit cheaper than Poland and a good selection of shops.

News / Coal-Powered Poland Refuses to "Go Green". EU Ain't Happy. [304]


The problem is the depths of the various reservoirs. When they're deep, there's not so many problems. When it's near the surface we see the problems that you describe.


There are plans (and have been for a while) as well as Uranium deposits however nuclear gets a bad press and everyone over a certain age remembers Chernobyl down the road. The country held its collective breath until the wind changed and Belarus got the fallout.

Sustainable energy is essential if we're to slow down the damage to the planet - the investment is worth it now, since the impact of climate change in the future is going to be at a level socially, economically and politically that's hard to contemplate now.

Study / British School of Warsaw in Wilanow [73]


A vocation in life is important. Hopefully a better vocation than this guy who's been posting weird stuff throughout this thread about a school.

Study / British School of Warsaw in Wilanow [73]

This sort of post is always suspicious. The British School in Warsaw is a respectable institution, run by Nord Anglia, a long-established chain of fee paying independent schools. It's properly (and thoroughly) inspected, and can recruit good teachers from Britain with UK Qualified Teacher Status.

Interesting that our 'guest poster' assumes that I work as a. a schoolteacher and b. in Eastern Europe. Neither are true.

When a 'guest poster' appears here solely to slag off or promote an organisation or business, do we really need to ask why?

Yes, and some do so with relish, sadly.

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [402]

It's a Ukrainian name similar to the Lemko name Lytush. Lemkos straddle the current border between Poland and Ukraine, and there are Lemkos in both countries.

The danger is that anti-abortionists would wat to interfere in this. Or weirdos, like the poster above.

We can never know. The person whose daughter or son might one day have developed a cure for cancer could have drowned trying to get to Europe from a war-torn region of the world..
