OK....a question for all you Polish people....When i was born in England many moons ago my parents gave me the name Ian , However since coming to Polska a few years back i have been known to all my Polish friends as Jan...I quite like being known as Jan , and i tend to give this as my name now , even to English people....What i would like to ask you Polish experts is what other forms or variations of Jan is there , you know , like Janek , Janusz etc thanks...

Life / LPG fuel - car conversion cost and process in POLAND [19]

It depends on where you get it done.There are some good and some not so good people doing lpg conversions in Poland........I had my Rangerover done in UK and it cost me 1300 quid , its about half that in Poland.....Your best bet is to ask people local to where you live and go to a garage that has a reputation for doing a good job....You can get problems if the job is not done by experts.....I have not had any problems with my conversion in three years and saved a fortune on fuel.....If you are buying a car in Poland , get one that has already been converted and is running ok...The price for conversion depends on if it has carbs or fuel injection , Good luck...

I am sure you will look lovely....I shouldn,t worry too much about looking too different from the Polish women....Whatever you wear you will probably inspire all the Polish women to copy it , as Anything British has got to be great....As a male i do notice that Polish fashion is a bit different to English...Why not have a look at some of the Polish fashion websites , see what sort of stuff Polish women like to wear.....
