UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]

What I dont understand, maybe Lef can clarify this for me, but how can someone who lives in Aus and will be "investing foreign money" if he decides to go back to live in the land where he was possibly born, could be any different to anyone else investing and buying property over there...hmmmm Im really confused? Maybe someone can help me out, Im having a dumn brunette day :)

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]

Puzzler, Last year when I was in Krakow, I was sat having a lovely evening drink with a friend on the old town square, where people were sat with their familes, then the singing of crude songs started by some scousers, you know we did, we got up and left because it wasn't pleasant to hear or see. So you see if an English person doesnt want to be subjected to this kind of behaviour, then god only knows how the locals feel about it. Its disrespectful.

Hmmm, szarlotka, Amethyst, and others arent you too hard on your own people? Some of the Poles also tend to be hard on other Poles. Yeah, one of the main reasons for the decline of European nations is the fact that members of the nations don't like each other, are harsh on each other.

Its difficult for you to understand, if I go to another country where it has had problems with British people, then Im going to feel the backlash from that, I have said if you read my posts that its just an element not a majority of English that cause problems....but still its still causing problems for the rest of us who just want to enjoy some beautiful cities around the world.

In many cases they are not uneducated dumbos but professional males who act like loonies when away with their mates. Best solution would be to photograph them and stick the images on a web site where their wives could see them.

lol, now that would put a stop to "jollies away with the boys"

I have been to Krakow so I know exactly what you mean, but not all English are the same, I agree that some English dont know how to behave whilst they are in another country, but that doesnt go for all. Maybe if they realise that their options are limited when they go to Poland i.e. they wont get in clubs etc, this might be a deterant for the idiots. I wrote some time ago about how I was horrified how Prague had gone over the last 10 years and hoped that Krakow would not go the same, Im pleased that they are acting quickly by putting measures in place and are not offer accommodation to these kind of parties and not addmitting them in to clubs.

There are quite a few clubs who will not allow britsh people in because they get over loaded with booze and cause trouble. i witnessed it and it very embarassing.

Good, its not taken Poland to do this, it took a while in the Czech Rep to recognise this :)

And that's wrong. They should simply crush empty skulls of these, who are making mess and leave others alone.

Lets just bar them from clubs, thats punishment enough I think, or maybe the odd kicking :)

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]

So, go on the streets and start saying to everyone "kurwa". Be patient!

I think even the English know not to use that :) besides f*ck is universal why bother to sware in another language (thats if you are that way inclined to use those words in the first place).....

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

You see Poles work alot harder and longer then Americans or Brits do.

Really, I left the house at 07:30 this morning and got home at 19:10 this evening :) and when I left the office at 18:00 there were plenty of people there that wouldnt be leaving until at least 20:00 so you see, you are wrong in your comments, very wrong.

There is nowt wrong with your nose Mr M and nor is there anything wrong with SB's nose, I really dont understand why people generalise about these things I've been to Poland twice now and I can honestly say I haven't noticed anything strange about Polish apart from there was a lot more totty knocking about!

I think people in England thinking too slowly to understand how it;s Poland.

Please note that the person that started the thread was from the US and it was people in the US that made the comment.....please dont jump on the English we are by no means slow :)
