Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]


Nope. :)

I'll let Chemikiem have a crack at this one first before giving another clue.

Although...This place stands on the edge of a Greater place.

It is :D It's not the one up north - but you've more or less solved the riddle, so point to you ;) The one I was using is this one - goo.gl/maps/TjoqTHuAhWyAP9n29 - on the edge of Wielkopolska.

How on earth did you make that connection? :D I was certain that it was unsolvable with just that first clue!

I'm taking my hat off to you, that was an absolutely brilliant connection to make :D I mean, you did exactly what you were supposed to do (see 'the end of the world' and guess that there might be a place called that) - but still, bah ;) Pawian would be most disappointed!


I'm trying to do exactly that - there's so much interesting Polish history and culture beyond the mass media stuff, and I think it deserves some promotion :)

Guilty as charged! I have to admit - part of me wishes that I was a history teacher instead. I do some elements of it, but it would be great to discuss all sorts of fascinating things about Polish history with kids.

As for this new riddle:

I wouldn't recommend going to the butcher shop here.

Go away! It's not easy at all and you've just guessed it first time :D

How did you do this one?

You're right, you're definitely not thinking like everyone else :P

I thought you might have tried to track down the source of that horse meat scandal a few years ago, but nope :( The next one will be much more difficult, I promise!

Food / British food products in Poland? [334]


Now that's an interesting idea. A very tasty container nonetheless!

Apparently Dealz is now cutting back on the British products because of Brexit, so they'll either increase the price or simply not stock them anymore if they can't be sourced in the EU.

History / Poland's borders throughout history [25]


Yes, Słubice is a particular example. They had to go back hundreds of years to find a possible Slavic name which could be Polonised.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Well, Polish history should tell you that Poland is more than capable of it. Remember that democracy is a very new concept in Poland - even Piłsudski had no problem with tramping all over it when it suited his agenda.

The danger in Poland right now is in assuming that democracy is as strong here as it is in the UK or the Nordic states.

News / Poland Sports News [985]


Usually vice versa these days. I was reading only recently how British clubs struggle because Polish teams can afford to pay riders much more these days.

I was pretty busy today, but just you wait, the next one is going to be fiendish :D

I still can't believe you got the last two :/

Uh, Ironside, that's exactly what the PRL did to people.

News / Poland - Germany's 5th largest trade partner [27]


Good news, it means we can look forward to the Polish Willy Brandt to emerge as a natural reaction to it ;)


It's very much my view that Covid-19 is simply accelerating the move of industrial production from Western Europe to the CEE region, nothing more.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]

That's entirely their point. They're trying to create a whole new version of Polish history that they are the guardians of, as they have created and dominated that particular narrative. It's the same thing as the PZPR did in the 1950's, even down to the propaganda of the Piasts.

If Ironside was around in the PRL, why on earth would he support any kind of censorship?

Work / Working as a PL-EN translator - good idea? Sworn translators in Poland. [27]


I'd also add that it's a good idea to contribute to online translation forums too.

How many minorities were in the army full stop, and why weren't they particularly keen on it?

Numbers never tell the full story by themselves, as any accountant should tell you.

Love / Incels in Poland [299]


It's a matter of time. There's already examples of violence in schools from such people, and given the frustration that such 'males' have, it's only a matter of time before there's a similar attack here.

It doesn't help that certain circles are promoting access to weapons.
