Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

All Polak means is "person hailing from Poland"

glad someone finally took the time to point that out...

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [453]

kneehawk

i have had problems finding trades people but am hopefully about to start a relationship with a builder in wejherowo who seems to know his stuff and is reasonably priced. once i see the work he does i will feel more comfortable passing on contact details if you are interested

Is there a source for this information ?

ive looked for an up-to-date source but have been unable to find one... most of it is anecdotal

And is it Polish people who actually live and work on Poland that are buying

despite what people will tell you there are relatively wealthy poles all over

Who are the developers actually building new properties for ?

see above

New build looked on it's own does not reflect the whole property market.

true... but it seems that most of the movement is in this area

Thanks for the insight Kneehawk & bubba.

The primary reason for the increases in the cost of flats is the spiralling cost of land and building materials.English and Irish investors have had little effect although this may start to change.the biggest investors are Polish Nationals who invest short term and then sell on prior to completion

this is more or less what i have heard. i am also being told that the shortage of workers is impacting on costs as some construction companies have decided it is a better option in the long run to bring in foreign builders - perhaps not so much that they will do the job to a better but because they will stay and do it from start to finish

Stop repeating yourself Bubbawoo, try to say something original for a change.

think you should follow your own advice lef.

quite

you clearly have no idea about what is happening in poland lef, and the vast majority of your comments are not only way off the mark but ignorant and hypocritical to boot.

it is obvious you have a chip on your shoulder that foreigners are succeeding in a country that you seem to hold some affiliation to whilst you are happy to ignore the hundreds of thousands of poles who have gone abroad to try and better their lives... including yourself it would seem...

as long as you persist with this approach you will get laughed at by those of us who are too polite to tell you youre an idiot and told you are a twat by those of us who have met your type on countless occassions before and really dont give a fuk what you think

The minority of Brits, the majority of Brit visitors.

i really dont believe its anywhere near the majority of british visitors... its just the ones who make the most noise that stand out and are noticed...

and you know what justyna... your attitude of positivity and awareness is the one that i see in my polish friends over here and thats why i like poland as much as i do... thank you for bringing a voice of reason and understanding to contrast those on here who obviously have no idea

If you think about the EU lef, then you will clearly see that botht he UK and Poland are supposed to benefit from the relationship.

like some of the other poles who moan about this, lef has his head to far up his own backside to understand what you are saying... in lef's case its especially ironic given that he is resident in a country that has done more to exploit the locals than most others... but lef is so narrow minded he hasnt grasped this...

wow can you just discuss without name calling because of lack of arguments?

ive said it before and ill say it again ola... some people are not worth the time of day arguing with... their field of vision is so limitecd and they have such a lack of understanding its much easier to call them a silly kunt so that everybody knows where they stand... with out the pretence of pretending there is enough respect to acknowledge what the other person is saying... lef has been slipping into this category for awhile... you have always been in it...

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [450]

Most of the polish beggers here in the uk are dark haired and brown eyed.

i think youll find, if you take the time to talk to them, that they are not polish... romanies mostly
