Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [450]

Probably confusing Polish with Jewish due to WW2.

If your looking for a typical Polish/German trait (Central European), it would be prominent cheekbones/jawlines.

There is a certain look, but I cannot describe it in words. Usually quite pretty, lean faces

Life / Gypsies or Roma: European and Polish attitudes towards [87]

They are strongly disliked in Ireland.

The Romanians hate them more than anyone I think.

There is a group of them currently trying to screw the system in Ireland:

Life / Price of cigarettes in Poland? [192]

I paid 18Euro for a sleeve (box of 20), but this was in the countryside.
That was about 2 years ago.

Restrictions state that you cannot bring more than 2 sleeves per person through customs.

They are quite stringent with checks now due to contraband.

Travel / Collection of dress codes in Poland - what to wear? [96]

Generally speaking, Poles dress better than the Germans, British and Americans. But then that's not particularly difficult.

Can't comment for those nations but its true compared to Irish.

Not a major difference in fashion between the Irish and Polish men. If we're being fair here the bottom of the rung on either side will slum it with their shellsuits/track suits wheter Irish knackers or Polish blockers.

But there is quite a big difference between the Irish and Polish women.
I'm not sure if the Poles have better clothes, more a case of their clothes looking better on them as they tend to smoke more and drink less and generally keep themselves in better shape.

The one thing Polish women don't have a clue about though is make up.
They plaster it on, often using all the wrong colours, something from the 80s I'd imagine.
I've seen a lot of Polish women who look far prettier without make up.
Occasionally some girls overdo it and end up looking like prostitutes without realising it.
