Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]

He was telling me about life in England just after the war when they filled all the ex prisoner of war camps with Poles

Thats absolute rubbish. The POW camp that my Grandfather was in, never housed poles and was turned into a farm equipment storage area when the POWs were released.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

German soldiers have been always undoubtedly subordinate so they followed the Fuhrer's words:

"Kill without mercy every man, woman, and child of Polish extraction."

Think you need to check your history again. Not every soldier in the German army was a 'goose stepping' nazi who believed every word Hitler uttered. Thousands were conscripted who did not want to fight and did not believe in the war.

Check these:

vodkawodka.com/index.php?sub=vodka&loc=poland

There are a few grain Polish vodka. Revolution used to be one of my favourite haunts in Nottingham. Skyy was a bit of a favourite

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]

Most of the objections for the project arent due to environmental concerns but political and possible economic factors with regard to Russia's control of energy resources.

All countries with sea boundaries have been dumping waste and pumping raw sewage into the waters for many years so maybe they should focus on these 'real' environmental problems.

Ecosystems are dynamic and will evolve with their environment.

The long-term environmental threats can be considered as significantly lower as compared with the risks of lifting the corroded items, transportation and destruction

If the containers of these toxic chemicals are corroding they will certainly leak in the future and the toxins will get into the environment.
Wouldnt the better course of action be to attempt to prevent this by clearing the areas? As long as it is done with the correct procedure i would rather they attempt and fail than never attempt at all.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

Used Ryanair 3 times in the past 6 months and all flights have been fine (UK to Poland). Plane left slightly late once but arrived on time and arrived early once too. No luggage lost, no hassle.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

I have experienced the same as NewBrit, only it was when i lived in Nottingham. The problem with most people in cities is that they are in a rush and see someone else as getting in their way. Go to smaller cities and towns and the people in England and Poland are generally nicer and more polite.
