Your Government did.
The same Government that pays for your education, while those south of the border have to pay for theirs.

Sponger - get a job and leave the workers alone.

Its on locally, well, if you live in the Highlands.
Tilda Swinton ( she was in Narnia ) has done up a disused hall and is running a mini festival of film.
Entrance is £3 or free if you bring some home baking.

News / What is wrong with Poland that Poles emigrate? [167]

I am not going to promote employment agencies but agencies have their uses.

From the Employers side it takes a lot of time and effort to recruit someone, then if they are not up to it you have to jump through hoops to fire them.

Agencies fill a gap in the market.

From the workers point of view...total rip off.

Edit - On second thoughts....agencies should be made illegal !

I have been to a few.

I dont mind students in general.

Its just the ones that criticise the workers that put them there that I object to.

Once again Scotland getting mixed up with UK stats.
In direct contrast to the rest of the UK, Scotland needs immigration -
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/7494864.stm

As I keep on saying - this is a London based government trying to adapt UK stats to Scotland - it just doesn't work. Look at the link - this is what the Scottish government are doing to encourage immigration - is there a London based government equivalent ?

Edit - where is the evidence of Scotlands recession. Scotlands economy is growing.

Travel / Why do you visit Poland? [222]

Because it doesn't have the Euro !

Everywhere else that has the Euro seems to be a bit more expensive than it used to be, I suppose its only a matter of time........

Travel / Poland wildlife and similar wild life where you live. [240]


Looks very much like a Capercaille - wonder if its the same thing ?

If anyone is near a river in Silesia keep a look out for freshwater mussels, they are supposed to be extinct in Poland so if you see any its worth letting people know about them.

Highly valued for their pearls, they are nearly extinct in mainland Europe but are still around, mostly in Ireland and Scotland
jncc.gov.uk/ProtectedSites/SACselection/species.asp?FeatureIntCode=s1029
I used to go "fishing" for them before it became illegal to do so.
Now I have read a bit more about them and realise how near extinction they are - almost feel bad about it....... if it wasn't for the pearls ;-)

Travel / Poland wildlife and similar wild life where you live. [240]


Freshwater ones are harder than farmed saltwater ones. Its also said that they have more of a lustre.
Having said that,they come in all colours mostly white, brown and black.

Couldn't say now as the trade is illegal, pearls come in all shapes and sizes, only a small amount are competely round. Scottish pearls are moe valuable due to their rarity.

They take 15 yrs to mature and can live for a century. Most have died out due to overfishing but in Europe it was mostly pollution and their dependance on migrating fish for regeneration ( apparently this was the cause in Silesia ).

Sometimes only 1 in 50 have pearls, once opened they die.

They might not be as impressive as a Golden Eagle but its good to see they are being protected.

Law / Laundromats in Poland? Good business venture or not? [90]

If you have the cash and want to take the gamble then go for it.

It should be quite easy to build up a business plan.
Initial outlay, ongoing overheads etc.
Sometmes you can rent the machines ( may even be a market in itself ).
I dont think there would be a high profit margin.
If you can do service washes and perhaps negotiate with small hotels a contracted service that will help the cash flow.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


Yep, kids look cute in their kilts, an arran jumper and big boots !

You can get cheap kilts on Ebay and the like but if you get a proper kilt it will last a lifetime.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

For me -

Locally hand made kilt, tartan of choice- £350
Bespoke Prince Charlie jacket ( wide shoulders, av waist ) - £385 five years ago.
Sporran £120
Shoes, shirt, sghean dhu etc about £120

Or you can get a kilt from Pakistan for £40

Are you seriously saying the Saturday School isn't a good thing ?
