Guess then it'll be the ol' Scholzomat "boring" his way into your hearts, eh Tacitus? Anyway, at least, unlike obvious blunders by Laschet, seen yucking it up with reporters during the floods, Scholz is safe.

It was either a choice between the extreme left or the extreme right in Germany today, unfortunately, nothing in the middle to speak of. Would Hoecke or PEGIDA be any better? Obviously the answer is no!

Curious as to whether Poland, not to mention the EU states, is concerned about the election results for Chancellor. What with the problems caused by the Brexit, how do people feel with regard to the end of the Merkel and perhaps the threshold of the Baerbock Era?

Dirk's right in terms of the importance of Polish when working in Poland!
Although I am familiar with several acquaintances who moved to Europe, in particular to countries such as Sweden and Denmark, who commented with some frustration that they oughtn't to have bothered learning either language, as after almost three years in the country, they never need to speak anything but English, neither present-day Poland or Germany are such places:-)
Regarding to your field of endeavor, mechanical, much like electrical, engineering are readily transferrable professions for which there are ample jobs in any number of Western countries.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [96]
Duda represents an extremist right-wing agenda.
We all know where that got us in the last War!
'Course no sane individual's comparing Duda with Hitler!
However, Duda has made certain representations as reported on this Forum re: Poland leaving the EU, or having Poland make her own decisions alone etc. Europeans must learn to depend on one another, and this includes Poland.
Namely the idea of living as an island is dangerous, considering Poland's abysmal record on both sexual abuse along with abortion rights.

It was actually rather amusing when I read it! Foreign signage in English often is:-)
When once in Sweden, a country where nearly everyone and his grandma knowsEnglish, I caught glimpse of a notice at my favorite restaurant in Goteborg: "PLEASE DON'T HAVE CHILDREN AT THE BAR!" During the course of my before-dinner aperitive, I commented to the barkeep that in the States we usually have children at a hospitalLOL
He was clearly not amused, more clueless than insulted, in fact.
"PLEASE KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE BAR!" would have made more sense.
Frequently though, foreigners somehow respond better to slightly off or accented English than to correct usage, I've found. Says something, doesn't it.

It's all a question of public relations really. Yet why not simply come clean and admit the Polish sign was awfully written and ought to have been proofread by a native English speaker before being stenciled onto the bathROOM sign!

Couldn't agree with you more. Bottom line and point of story; the English-language sign I accurately described and saw with my own eyes was miswritten and that obviously "bathROOM" aka "restroom" was logically the word which was meant in that context! Skirmish over and now we may return to the open field of personal exchange-:)

The reasons the Jews were expelled was because the locals were inculcated with "The Jews killed Jesus" garbage deliberately fomented by the Catholic Church and this fostered fear that the Jews were "taking over"! Are you capable of seeing your own ignorance?

@Et tu, Pawian?! No need to justify their incorrect usage. What was clearly meant (in correct translation) was: "SAME SEX BATHROOMS", period. What's so hard to figure out about that?

It's the identical sort of thinking, Rich. YOU learn English!!
Unless, as I've suspected for the longest time, you understand me perfectly, you're merely playing the Devil's Advocate:-)
Throughout Medaeval Europe, Jews were blamed for nearly every misfortune known to man, from the Plague, to poisoning wells etc. None of said prattle was ever proven to have had the slightest inkling of truth.

Well, don't be!
Remember, oh round about ten or so years ago, a report on yahoo news about a random police office in Connecticut filed a report
with his captain that there was a knife fight at some local bar and (of courseLOL) two Hispanics were probably involved? Turned out, the
two men implicated were both of Scandinavian extraction, Sorenson was the name if I recall, and appropriately, that officer was placed on
probabtion. BRAVO!
Prejudice always obscures the plain truth.
