Sopot actually. My parents are gonna fly to berlin and I will get them from there. Thanks for ur help everyone

UK, Ireland / Interest in Polish language grows in Britain [19]

It is true because our grammar systems are completely different. Trying to grasp the fact that there are 3 words for go in Polish can be a nightmare for a Brit since we have only 1. Also the lack of gender in English poses a problem when learning other foreign languages.

A pole can learn eg. spanish or French more easily beacuse although not the same, the grammar is similar.

Language / Are the context of these Polish sentences correct? [101]

Try to learn English before Polish

1st lesson:

Sentences not sentenses

UK, Ireland / Why Polish people decided to move to the UK, and their experiences. [46]

I just couldnt understand them when they told me they have a house and land sitting empty in Poland while they pay rent in the UK. THis particular couple are economists in Poland but in Uk tey pack pot noodles and they love it and all their friends i met said they will never go back to Pol too.

Life / Polish are some of the best educated in the world [35]


I think the OP is trying to make a point about the Polish edu system (which is severly lacking BTW) and you are a result of the US system so its not really saying anything

UK, Ireland / Why Polish people decided to move to the UK, and their experiences. [46]


Really Seanus?? I know ppl who moved to UK 5 yrs ago and now could prob earn just as much money in Pol, if not more, but they said they will never return to Poland. They prefer the British mentality.

Food / Is Polish food still more natural than in the West? [142]

Where Poland is severly lacking are good steaks. When a butcher here receives a nice piece of beef he mauls it until its a shadow of its former self. I shall be going home for a visit soon and first stop steak house.

Just like all the yanks on here are american, not irish, polish czech or anything else

UK, Ireland / Britain's youngest mum gave birth at 12 [70]

The arguement here is not about ppl genuinely on benefits but those who dont lift a finger to work but can seem to afford to live well. Your brother's case is tragic but how is it they are only living on 50 quid a week. Dole for 2 ppl would amount to 100 and child benefits etc.

There really are jobs out there if ppl are prepared to work below themselves ffor a bit. My brother just walked into a factory job last week packing pot noodles but will do anything not to be on the dole. Im not syaing this is the cas ewith ur bro, but some ppl put one app in, get it declined and claim there are no jobs.

UK, Ireland / Britain's youngest mum gave birth at 12 [70]


If you have ever been to UK, you will see that this is completely false. Those on benefits in the UK can seem to afford full sky packages, a car and a holiday every year.

How am I suppsed to give you sources? I can tell you my friends name if that helps?

He teaches these people everyday, they dont want to learn, they are just bored old ladies who are pampered by their rich hubbies. I accompanied my friend to the house of one of the male students in the group who is 'umeployed' for a grill. When we arrived we were shocked to see a large hous with over 1000m2 of land and new lexus in the drive.

AJ can't u see this is taking the p***

UK, Ireland / Britain's youngest mum gave birth at 12 [70]

It's not just UK who has the benefit scroungers. My friend has just started teaching a group of people through the EU EFS project 'Szybki powrot do pracy' and these people are supposed to be unemployed. Most of the class consists of women who have rich husbands and dont need to work so on paper they are unemployed, and the rest of the class are stock market traders who have no job to speak of but still turn up to school in berand new lexus'. As benefits grow better in Poland, we are gonig to see the same thing happening here

Travel / Traffic roundabouts not common in Poland? [13]


Obviously you never go left, just stating a pint that theres absolutely no lane discipline here.

Travel / Traffic roundabouts not common in Poland? [13]


Well a roundabout is desgined to haeve 2 lanes, one for going left and straight on, and one for going anything past straight on. Poles dont understand this notion and also signalling on r'bouts here is abysmal

Law / Investors/Entrepreneurs.. Steer Clear of Poland. [77]


If they knew how much thety would earn before they got the job then they should work hard for they accepted the position. 6ZL an hr or 60, if they are employed to do a job then they should do it.

In my company, I pay my wprkers 10zl an hour and if they are not prepared to wk for that then goodbte, there are plenty of others who will. I have fired countless workers and they know now to take me seriously

Travel / Traffic roundabouts not common in Poland? [13]


You gotta be a yank!!! Here we go again, talking in superlatives about Poland. Tell us where this biggest roundabout in Europe is.

Poles have no idea about lane discipline on roundabouts

There is also a section of Pilsh society that hates the English and still bear a grdge after the Howard Wedd incident in the last EWuro championships.

Travel / Looking for a good map of Poland on the Net [19]

or try map24.pl. I always use it.

UK, Ireland / The slow, whiny death of British Christianity [86]

If Xianity is dying in the UK its because people who dont believe in God, just dont go, unlike in Poland, where people go out of some duty but really have better things to do. Take those out of the church in Poland who really dont want to be there, and you will find very low congregations.

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]


Thank god someone said it finally. If Poland becomes significant in the world there is nothing the government will do to stop the fllods of ppl

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]

Blimpy, you got it so wrong. People in the UK cannot often afford to work for minimum wage as they have council tax, mortgages/rent, shopping bills etc to deal with. Poles and other foriegners on the other hand tend to live in larger groups of people and do not want to settle in the country and therefore can afford to work for minimum wage. A brit on benefits has council tax sorted and rent paid for.

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]


Tell me how this is different to Poland Seanus. I am fed up of the **** tv here dancing, dancing and more dancing coupled with some lousy soap operas. What everone fails to mention here are the contribitutions that the UK STILL make to the world in terms of music, science etc.

As for the same old speil, I hear the same stuff day in day out here and actually to go home is a refreshing change.

I just dont understand WB's criticism of British roads either. OK some roads have potholes but that gepends where you come from in UK. I assume WB comes from a **** hole as he seems to have old shopping centres and the like. My polish parents in law went to UK for the first time 4 yrs ago to go to my wedding and were amazed by the roads.

You are a mental health nurse right? Mental health service in Poland is atrocious. My widfes uncles is Bi-polar and basically the health service wanted to lock hiom away and forget about him so his wife decided to look after him at home. I am assuming your career as a MHN is rather a calling, sth you are passionate about? How could you have ever entered this in Poland?

Also, to all the English teachers, how many Poles do you know that can earn as much as you per hour? when I was teaching, i took home more than most Polish people I know. Why is this? Beacause I was brought up speaking English and I have the UK to thank for this

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]

We can all look around and see what is happening in the UK but for me it is where my best friends are, where my heart is. I miss my friends and family every day and I could live in a war zone as long as I am with them. Those of you who prefer life in Poland are those who probably have nothing in the UK so fair play if you can make a life here but pls less of the UK bashing, it is the Uk which has given you EVERYTHING, most of all the English language without which all of us Brits on here would not be able to make it in Poland.

We can moan and moan but it is up to us to put things right.

I went home 3 weeks ago to find one of my friends had been promoted to the head of RE department at a local secondary school becaus of producing record GCSE results. How did he do this? By speaking the childrens language. He used to be in the UFF and has loads of military tattoos so he was always an icon of respect for them. He also had a knack of putting the cocky lil b******s in their place by scaring the **** out of them. His methods worked.

This is what we need to do. A few more vigilante groups in society would sort things out I think..

UK, Ireland / Buying a Polish vehicle in the UK [28]

@chudgell
Still a bit weird as you wouldnt have a chance of selling it in UK and itd be alot of wk to sell it in Poland. I dont see why you are even considering it. Just tell this person theyll have to pay for the new car without part-ex

UK, Ireland / Buying a Polish vehicle in the UK [28]

Unless you are intending to live in Poland, it would be absolute insanity to buy a Polish registered car to drive in the UK. Are you one of these who post to ask stupid questions just for the sake of it??/ Buy a right hand drive car and be done with it.

Life / Polish blu tak [11]

Its available in most stationary shops and is used quite a bit in language schools. When I first came here I saw it, bought it and took it along to the school i worked for. They thought itwas the best thing since sliced bread and now use it for all the kids wall displays.
