UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in the UK. Ch. 5 - Racism [259]

Take the blinkers off, Scotland is one of the most racist countries on the planet. I got chased by half a dozen Scots when they overheard my Dublin accent

Revokenice do you just dream up these senarios when you are making the bacon and egg sandwiches in a morning for the guests, or does it get more adventurous in the afternoon when you have a chicken cannelloni to prepare. Why or why would six people want to chase you down the street in Scotland and waste valuable drinking time I ask myself.

I wonder what will happen when poland has to take its fair share of african migrants the EU has planned for them.

It is never going to happen is it! because they will put in place a great "infrastructure" to combat it. Anyone tried taking back a faulty product in a major M1 store in Poland, and asking for a refund? It is like "hello I am from planet earth, I come in peace"!

But for all the racism, England and London* work well. On the whole British people are tolerant

Sean I always like to say when people ask. I do not have a problem with nationality, which is true. I do, however have a problem with attitude. Maybe in these new found times and terminology, and of course being political correct, we should say "I have an attitude problem", and everyone is above the law.

That might be an explanation - the English only respect force and money. If she believes I am a poor immigrant, she felt free to be as she pleased. And racism is just a dull explanation.

Ksysia you sound a bit disappointed, maybe you had a high expectancy before you came to england, alot of people have.

It was interesting what you said about how the acceptance from working classes was much more natural than middle classes. I think that there are good and bad in all classes of society. Sometimes in banks it is the way the person deals with you, the level of empathy they show, or do not show. I dont think that it was personal maybe the person just had a bad day, or it could be Autum. I have to admit I was also annoyed this week with the level of service I have received everywhere, it was noticeable.

As mcgee said it varies from person to person and not country to country, you get the same miserable people in Poland as you do in england, and yes the polish are just as racist as any other person. However, it is one thing showing it and one thing thinking it.

I think however that the middle class society always have something to prove, and are a little unstable. (stuffed off to boarding schools at an early age, devoid of a little love and understanding, must perform academically at an early age) this has alot to do with the midddle class persona.

Travel / Which tennis resorts or tennis hotels are good in Poland? [2]

Sopot has really good tennis courts, but not the full package, you would have to rent a hotel or apartment and have private lessons, still quite cheap in comparison to other countries. If you do find a good tennis holiday in poland let me know. I suspect you are looking for something like the club med of Poland?
