UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [161]

The Poles are extremely rude inb the way they speak to people. My family here will use the imperative constantly when I told them not to because I want to smash their faces in when they do. Im fed upof being told 'staw woda', 'zamknij drzwi', 'daj mi dlugopis'. In Engliand that is the hight of bad manners and one would be told where to put it in no uncertain terms.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]


Having lived in Poland for the past 10 years, even if you dont like it, I see exactly the same as the OP. Polish women are so arrogant about being the most beautiful in the world that even the dog ugly ones will sit there and swear blind that they are some kind of cinderella. Any expat who lives here and hasnt heard this is either lying or in denial. The same with the food, anyone would swear that Polish food is world clsss, when in fact most foriegners who come here avoid it like the plague, as could be seen during the Euro championships when most of the Irish spent their time in Mcdonalds instead of tasting the local fayre, flaki anyone??? The water bit is wrong thoug, POles are so disgusted by their own water, alot even boil mineral water in kettles. i get strange looks here when I drink from a tap.

Life / Stop buying contraband in Poland! Really? [24]

Taking loads of cigarettes home for personal use is not smuggling. Poland is in the EU and tax is paid to the EU. This is not smuggling. It is only smuggling when somebody sells them on

My whole piont being is that there are too many ppl on bebnfits in the UK better off than those who work and its totally wrong. When I was in Rhodes last year I tried to avoid the Brit hotspots but ended up making a day trip to Faliraki. Got talking to a family of 3 generations, grandmother, mother and daughter (the grandmother was only 51) and none of them worked, the daughter was just waiting for a council house which she would receive as soon as she got back from her ALL INCLUSIVE holiday

Firsly, this man has children at the age of 12 (he is 57, has a wife of 42 and 4 kids). Secondly, since you come from Wales you know that OAP's receive free bus transport too. Great in theory but there are so many ppl who are noat OAP's/ disabled getting accesess to this stuff. Please dont tell me that ytou have never seen a younger, healthy looking person with one of those passes and wondered how the hell they got it. It is possible to get any benefits in the UK if you know the loopholes


Didnt say it was legal, the issue is whether he can afford a Spanish holiday once a year. THe answer is easily. I hope they catch him one day but TBH in the 30 years I have been alive, I've never seen him do an honest day's work. He just seems to get away with it

It includes incapacity benefit, child benefit, winter fuel payments (dont ask me how he gets them, they are only supposed to be for old people), and a series of other stuff. He know his way around the benefit system and knows how to use it to his full advantage.

Beacuse things have changed, please don't call me a liar. It is all about decreasing discrimination by allowing children from poorer backgrounds to have acess to the privileges of richer children. I'm not saying its a nationwide thing but the school my nephew attends has a policy like this backed by a couple of trustees. He has to keep up his marks in school though to be able to qualify for it.

She doesnt get petrol, she gets help with petrol through her ex which is paid for by his CSA contributions. Do you walk round with your eyes shut? Go to Merthyr Tydfil where people are on benefits and the bars will be full in the evening. 2 guys in the street where I used to live are factory workers, they cant afford sky so they have freeview, when they want to watch PPV boxing, they go to their neighbour to watch it who has all sky sports packages. He is on incapacity benefit but is also a bus driver for a local bar and receives cash in hand for it. All in all he gets around 25000 a year.

How dare you call mys sister that. She cannot work because my parents are sick and cannot look after her youngest child, her exes parents dont want to know. SHe does some work in the local supermarket but its about 4 hours a week. If she could she would like to go back to her job in Admiral insurance, it is degrading for her to rely on state benefits.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


What about in the case of rape? Should a woman have to look at this child for the rest of her life knowing what it was the result of?? What about if you know your child will be a vegetable? Is it fair to bring this child into the world?

Caholics get off ur moral high ground. You are the most immoral, corrupt business on the Planet. Get your c***s out of choirboys a***s before you start to worry about abortion.

Sorry but witnessed with own eyes. Don't read the Daily Mail. Either you are British but haven't been to the country for years and dont't know the real situation, or you're Polish and are don't know the realities or you are a Yank who knows nothing about the UK.

BTW, My sister, who is a single mother just came back from a 2 week holiday in Turkey, she has a council house paid for and her child's school uniform, dinners and school trips are paid for. Every year my nephew's class goes skiing to Austria, he gets the trip free. Now tell me i got all this from the Daily Mail. Oh and my sis also gets CSA money, and gets some help with petrol for her car etc. I don't approve of this but it's the way it is

UK, Ireland / Advantages of living in Poland as opposed to the UK. [126]


Absolute rubbish. Are you British? People on benefits in the UK have full sky TV oackages, drink in the pub every evening and have at least one Spanish holiday a year. I know one guy who has never worked a day in his life and gets at least 30000 quid a year.


I am not talking the lakeside holiday where they stay in a country house for a week and have a grill every day and go swim in the lake. I mean a foreign holiday. Its a fact that alot of families in POland can only afford these lakeside holidays and stack up the car with enough biedronka goods to last them a week.


I attended lots of camps when I was younger, especially witrh the Scouts and St. John's Ambulance

UK, Ireland / Advantages of living in Poland as opposed to the UK. [126]


Unfortunately, very few people in POland can afford a yearly holiday whereas in the UK even people on benefits can afford at least one foreign holiday a year.

They cant touch u until they have proved that uve done sth wrong. If they do, its assault.

Thts the thing they cant keep u there for 4 hours. They cant handcuff or detain you in any way shape or form.

I believe it is our responsibility to exercise our rights and even if it does take a lil longer than ususl then at least we are standing up for what is right

Life / Price of cigarettes in Poland? [192]


He has proven that if you stand your ground then in fact they cant do anything until they can prove it is for commercial puposes. How can they prove this??? The UKBA work on scare tactics, they believe the uniform is enough to make u give them ur fags. They also have no power to detain until you have commited a crime and cannot ask the police to dtain you until a crime has been committed and they can prove it. Look at the immigration act of 71 (i think). Also they are not allowed to do random stops of people crossing the border unless they have proof that a crime has been committed. A tip off is not even enough legal proof.

WHat he is showing on his site and his you tube videos is that he knows the law better than the UKBA officers and he really shows them up at one point.

A gift loist is a good way of proving that the fags are not for commercial use

Bollocks

According to EU law you are able to carry as many as you want for personal use and gifts. Best of all the UKBA have no right to stop you and if they do you are not oblighed to cooperate with them. The only time they are allowed to stop anyone is if thye suspect that cigs are being sold, and must tell u if this is the case and thye have to prove it before they detain you. This guy has proven this:

The problem here nott is that polish food does not take any talent to cook. Anyone can coat a piece of turkey or pork in breadcrumbs and fry it. As for Bigos, the stuff is revolting.

The UK can attract some of the greatest chefs in the world because the country is ready for them

How do you define a kitchen then?? In poland it is some old cow frying frozen Chicken Kievs (dewolaj) and placing a bit of surowka on the plate. Hardly talented is she??

Please tell me a Polish dish that takes skill to cook???
