I consider Crow a lunatic just as Brits and Americans here do (I must be a Slavic traitor then, I guess)

Russians are good tourists who leave good money in the countries they visit - ask Greeks, Italians or Cypriots about that - it's only Poland that sealed off our border with Russia - I mean I consider western Europeans hypocrites as much as you yourself probably do

water transport is a big thing in Germany, the Netherlands and even France, DESPITE the fact that they have more motorways than Poland - water transport of coal was a thing in the 90's when I was studying in Opole even though we had enough railways to transport it - any more questions?

typical English black tea is much different to what is considered regular tea by Polish people - I was not a fan

Rich, you sort of live in a glasshouse, so careful with those stones :P


I'm not in their heads, so I cannot either confirm or deny your suspicions

UK, Ireland / BBC launches new Polish language news service [87]


man, have you heard of any Polish lobby groups in the parliament calling for Polish products in every supermarket? have you heard of manifestations in the streets of London, Bristol or Edinburgh for the very cause? the simple cause is that some Polish people in England haven't learned the language enough to find what they are looking for in English shops (some Polish immigrants brought they elderly parents/grandparents to the UK)- it's not about demanding, it's about business

UK, Ireland / BBC launches new Polish language news service [87]


English is a strange beast - it has a magically lenient learning curve at the start but because of its rich vocabulary and various modes of formality only dedicated learners reach the level that is acceptable for legal purposes that can be used in OFFICIAL legal environments - combine it with the fact that Polish public workers are not paid very well and you get the result of not enough bright people with good English working for the good of foreign nationals in Poland (I probably have made a ton of mistakes in what I have just written so you probably have guessed now that I don't aspire to be a public worker dealing with foreingers)

UK, Ireland / BBC launches new Polish language news service [87]


you know what free market and business is? you seem not to

as for the presence of Poles in the UK: well businesses needed cheap labour - blame the businesses and the government - afaik many Poles who are still in Britain consider leaving it because of stagnating wages, rising cost of living, rising crime etc

UK, Ireland / BBC launches new Polish language news service [87]


I first went to England in 2002, illegally - I worked there illegally - there was no such thing as support in Polish for me (or any other Pole for that matter)


what do you mean by vindictive? are Poles in Britain somehow taking revenge on the Brits?

Polish sense of superiority comes from various sources - one of the more important ones is the deep Polish sense of inferiority

you are just sensitive to criticism - and strangely not criticism towards yourself personally - I would not give a **** if someone said Polish cuisine is inferior in every aspect - I like what I like and cook what I cook

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


this is even more pronounced in Poland (to the extent that you cannot get to hospital with a serious health issue, unless you first privately consult the doctor who works in the hospital, so I heard)

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]


you have been reminded of that kettle pot thing on a couple of occasions here, already, that's one - two: who are you to criticize people's tastes: some kind of a higher being from the enlighted spheres? - three: you forgot to add black pepper, bay leaves, piment and marjory to the list of the absolute spice must haves of every Polish housewife

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]


sure, you can complain like that all the way or start cooking for yourself - choice is yours - btw Warsaw is the most cosmopolitan city in Poland and there are many restaurants serving exotic food - for some reason there is no British one, curious, no?

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]


can you name a single restaurant that serves traditional British food in Warsaw? (maybe I'm ignorant so please enlighten me)
