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

It is good to see you are self aware and not embarrassed to deconstruct yourself. Maybe there is hope for you to shake the Polish pride complex yet.

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

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

Can anyone give me any information on what Wejherow is like.

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.

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

could somebody explain this article, something does not add up,

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.

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

introduce communism in Great Britain for 45 years and then see
if you can sort everything out in two decades :

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

I just wish you could do the same thing in the UK.

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

Czechs didn't lose 35% of their population in the war, didn't have their capital
razed to the ground and didn't lose such a big part of national industrial potential
and wealth during the war.

Violin music please.

Then you can come back here and lecture everyone on how insignificant communist
times are on the present-day Poland.

Excuses, excuses.

Gets a bit boring after a while.

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

Could you please show some evidence to back this claim up, please?

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.

I really don't know what your point is?

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.

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.

The British Embassy gives advice?

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.

The British Embassy won't get involved at all

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

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

Advice and assistance.

The British Government considers embassies to be for consular assistance, not for everyday things

Is bereavement an everyday individual thing ?

assuming they'll even bother to help you.

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

but they simply aren't interested in the personal lives of British citizens.

Now, please.

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

(Like they suck out everyone else. Poland trains people and pays for the education, and then Britain sends their recruitment fairs here and steals our educated people.

You are one hell of a dreamer.

Absolutely pathetic statement.
