Life / If I could introduce something from my country into Poland, I would.... [175]
Really? I'm surprised! I've not experienced this in recent years in England, they usually bend over backwards to help. But then if they don't, I'm the first to customer services speaking to the manager!
As for PC world.. no surprise there... as for their knowledge of PCs, zero. Last time I was in I only wanted to buy a game, they were not interested in helping me find it unless I was going to spend a lot of money. So, here I am, 1 desktop and 2 laptops, digital camer and various other items later... and not one of them from PC world all because of this one act of arrogance.
But i'm still surprised about your experiences with supermarkets. Aldi, lidl, I expect it, but not from Tesco/Asda.
Bought this at tesco but it was hella expensive. I also saw British baked beans there one too, but that shelf has been empty ever since.
As for the bacon, if you're lucky, you can select a good bacon in the butchers and then slice it real thin yourself. It's the same stuff, just not sliced. But I look for the stuff with less fat on it.
Proper milk is also available in most shops. I hate UHT and never touch it.
Most other things I make myself, cornish pasties, yorkshir pudding, quiche (is that even british?) and the like.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but nothing could be farther from the truth.
