UK, Ireland / Female health in Britain - Polish view [105]


You are one hell of a dreamer.

Absolutely pathetic statement.

Real Estate / Do we need to get a UK solicitor or a Polish one? [19]


I,m not saying the British embassy will SORT IT for you.


Advice and assistance.


Is bereavement an everyday individual thing ?


Of course they advise, I,ve been there, have you ?


Now, please.

Real Estate / Do we need to get a UK solicitor or a Polish one? [19]


If you go through the appropriate channels and something goes awry, then you can sue
( even the gov ).
The lawyer they recommend should be competent.

They can not leave British citizens in this scenario without help.

Any problems, then contact your local MP, that,s what they,re there for.

Always keep all documentation for such eventualities, never try going it alone, you could lose everything.

Real Estate / Do we need to get a UK solicitor or a Polish one? [19]

Don,t trust too much advice on this site or any other.

All the answers you require can be obtained from the British embassy in Warsaw.

As you have guessed, yes the deeds will have to be transferred to your name, as well as searches being carried out to assess there is no debts against the estate etc.

It will be quite a complex affair unfortunately due to the bureaucracy that exists in Poland.

UK, Ireland / Which country is more corrupt - Poland or the UK? [35]


Sorry I did not put the entire article, but I believe the foreign tenders were half of what the Polish companies were offering.
You have to ask the question why such a phenomenal difference.

UK, Ireland / Which country is more corrupt - Poland or the UK? [35]


Construction companies from as far afield as Belarus, China, India and Turkey are lining up to build roads in Poland.

Overseas builders have so far won contracts valued at zł.2 billion and are competing for more, worth the same amount again.

If I had pound every time I have heard this excuse, then.........


You just haven,t a clue, there is absolutely no comparison.


Violin music please.


Excuses, excuses.

Gets a bit boring after a while.

Law / The 'Secret' of Poland's Economic Success [83]


Pensions are paid from ZUS contributions, which have declined due to Poles working and registering abroad.
Pension funds is a misleading term, for no fund actually exists. If for example the British public stopped paying their national insurance contributions, then the government would only have enough funds to pay pensioners for up to 4 - 6 weeks.

So the problem the Polish government have is basically a shortfall, to which they will have to subsidize ZUS pensions.

Love / ARE THERE ANY DIVORCED POLISH MEN WHO WOULD WANT TO DATE AN ENGLISH WOMAN [11]


Wejherowo is an old garrison town, with many of the military buildings still existing, although serving different purposes. ie. civic offices.
As most Polish towns it has main square with surrounding shops, cafes, ice cream parlour and a bar providing outdoor seating under large umbrellas, where one can relax with a refreshment, whilst taking in the local environment.

Currently a lot of modernization is taking place to further enhance the town.
All according whether you will be staying with family or friends, there is further history and places of interest, which as locals, I am sure they would fill you in.

The tri-cities are a short train journey away and are a must see for any woman tourist. Loads to see and take in, you certainly won,t get bored.

As for " ARE THERE ANY DIVORCED POLISH MEN WHO WOULD WANT TO DATE AN ENGLISH WOMAN ". I,m sure there are plenty eligible gents, but personal introduction is a must. Remember Shirley Valentine.

Well I hope this little insight agrees with your taste and you have a pleasant visit.

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]


And another one appears. It just gets better.

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]



I know exactly where you,re coming from beelzebub. This guy absolutely endorses what you are saying.

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]


Thanks for the back up beelzebub, that Tymoteusz is some kind of fruitcake, lol.

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]



This is just the kind of talk that shames Poles and gives bad vibes.

Sounds like you need some " anger management ".

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]


Fair shout, I accept your point. Just missed your post, reading through quickly.

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]


Every country have their heroic tales.
History is exactly that.... history ( the past ).

" Feeling ashamed of my heritage". ....... nothing to do with pride.
He is feeling aggrieved about the way Poland is NOW ......... repair that !!

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]

So far the most honest advice you have been given comes from beelzebub.

DISREGARD what the others are saying. When it comes down to patriotism and defending Polands honor, the same old names just keep coming up.

You are right to feel the way you are feeling. Polish people have changed and are no longer the people they used to be. ( I speak of the majority ). It saddens me too.

I regard myself as a " citizen of the world ". It means I have no identity with any one place. No patriotism or bias and no one can label me to any particular nationality.

Respect to the honesty of your post, because honesty is whats important.

Remember, " I am who I am ".

Real Estate / Apartments too expensive for Poles living in Poland [54]


Quite right, and the sad thing is that the middle generation ( ie. the 40+ ) are still going to college to study for better qualifications, thinking this will put their world to rights, only to find in the long run that its been a waste of time, because everyone else had the same idea. Theres just not enough jobs to go round.

Poles are on a merry-go-round to nowhere,


They have no choice, but to live this way, they have to get off that merry-go-round.

How ? ........ Those that have something in Poland are generally the ones that have worked abroad.

So to cap it off, yes " Apartments too expensive for poles " is a correct statement.

UK, Ireland / WHAT IS SO SPECIAL LIVING IN U.K [90]


Nothing to do with an easy ride then ?

Claiming benefits etc.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL LIVING IN U.K ......... its what is called " a welfare state ".

Travel / Driving to Poland from England - any tips? [264]


Use common sense and dont park too far away from the public eye.


Got me to Polish border no problem, after that I know the route.


70 - 90 mph, again use your sense.


Used 2.0litre toyota, it cost between 180 -200 pounds depending on how fast you like driving.


If youre the sole driver, get a good nights sleep prior to leaving, hopefully a morning start. Aim to get as far as Berlin, then stop and kip for an hour. Any longer and you tend to feel more tired than before you stopped. ( people are different and you may need extra stops, this is only my recommendation based on me personally ). After this you are approx. 2hrs from the Polish border. Central Polish cities ie. Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow, a further 5hrs.

If you are able to share - drive, the journey should be quicker.

DONT FORGET CLUNK - CLICK..... HAVE A SAFE TRIP.

Love / Polish girlfriend going back to Poland if I dont buy engagment ring [85]


Materialistic madam !

End the romance.

Life / Why so many Poles use a second hands clothes? [110]


Of course they are, youre giving the impression that the whole of Hollywood and high society in general use these shops. Its only a minority and good PR for those few.


This is very true, but you can get bargains in shops like Next, that sell off end of lines for example for 1 pound an item. And these are brand new, not 2nd hand.

In poorer countries these shops are big business, in the UK, they are charity shops.

Life / Why so many Poles use a second hands clothes? [110]

Why so many Poles use a second hands clothes?

So about 80posts ago, why didn,t someone just say, these 2nd hand clothes shops are aimed at the poorer members of society ? ........ simple.

Theres no shame in that.


Tell that to Mr Tusk. lol

Life / Why so many Poles use a second hands clothes? [110]

Shops with second hands cloths are everywhere, on every corner.



Figure of speech ?


Polands economy is supposed to be super, so what hardships ?


What lack of money, Poland has the best economy in europe.


Absolutely.


Now come on, play the game.

Lay off the " Bond movies ".

Law / Child support in Poland:is the income of the father's spouse taken into account? [34]


You just can not imagine what you read on here anymore. Sounds high to me also.

Child support is based on accessible income, in other words, what is left from your husbands income after mandatory bills are paid.

eg: So if you show proof that he pays half the rent, and its not you alone that pays it, then obviously there is less left in his accessible income.

Thats the English CSA regulations anyway. Updated information can be sourced at csa.gov.uk

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]

This is hardly the place to go into great detail over this issue, but yes, you,re not far from the point.

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

Yes I have seen " floaters ".... DISGUSTING, I must say.

Some lakes are closed to bathers in the summer due to contamination.

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

... you pee and crap in the lakes and forests and think this is acceptable behavior.
