Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [147]
I think you'll find that 'British English' is simply caled English. As a linguist it really annoys me when people make this mistake.

Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [147]
Yes i know the term is used but it is ridiculous in my opinion. We dont call French 'French French' or 'Cameronian French' for example. If I was English I would find it downright offensive.

OK then we dont call French 'Continental/European French' and have another 'African French'
The language was invented in England which is on the island of Great Britain and as such it should be referred to as English and American English. OK?

Yes Island of Great Britain.
And yes English did originate in England on the Island of Great Britain. You are a know-all know-nothing student so I will finish our discussion. Good luck with your studies you'll need it.

Ok the English language evolved on the Island of Great Britain. My bad for erronously using the word invented. I did not dispute that the term 'British English' was an accepted term, I merely said it was one that did not sit well with me.
English spoken on the Island of Great Britain and its surrounds should, in my opinion, be referred to as English and the modified version used in America should be called American English.

UK, Ireland / Advantages of living in Poland as opposed to the UK. [126]
amazing sweeping statement. Have you had sex with every scottish and every Polish girl. I agree though my one experience with a Scottish girl was not memorable in the least, they are also, somehow, even uglier than the Irish (sweeping statement).

Food / British food products in Poland? [334]
I thought I would be the same but I realised pretty soon that coming from Ireland I was spoilt for choice with regards to good food.
Another thing I find strange is when Polish people talk about how bad British or Irish food is when their own fare is limited and at best, OK.
The things I miss the most are cheddar cheese (you can get Kerrygold Cheddar in Alma but its 12zl for 200g), fantastic Irish breads, sausages, baked beans, proper bacon, lucozade.
also I feel sorry for Poles that they arent able to get a good Indian, Chinese meal or indeed even a well produced fish and chips.
as long as i can get decent tea bags in poland( which i know i can) i will be happy. dont really think would miss too much else..
