UK, Ireland / Is moving to UK now a good idea? - antipolish prejudice of the Brits [231]

Emmaneedshelp


well I dont know that that would be that easy to be honest. i remember sitting in a pub in a very diverse area of London with some Polish, and getting very dirty looks and hostile vibes from a table of english. Mostly people would make friends at work I suppose but if as u say Polish are separated out into the crapper jobs then thats not going to happen. Look at the majority of english in Spain, they keep themselves to themselves,look down their noses at the spanish, etc, mabye to compensate for the weirdness of living in a different country. Its human nature.

They do sound rude. I think you should bring up the language thing at your disciplinary hearing. fecks sake they are working in england.

your average "english" has grandparents from a wide variety of places, more so with every generation, so call us what u like but "inbreeds" is just plain ignorant.

Life / Cost of raising a child in Poland [21]


of course you could just raise your own kids instead of paying someone else to do it...just a thought...:)

Language / Would you find this way of presenting a language useful or confusing? [11]


well it looks alot more engaging than more traditional language sites, and putting chunks of grammar into real situations seems a great idea to me (speaking as a low level learner of Polish as well as a language teacher) Maybe you underestimate language learners Zeimowit?

Life / Have many Poles had enough of one another? [198]

how true, I have even had it spelt out to me, most directly, over a "friendly" drink with one of the out laws...........i nearly choked on my wodka..:) (and watched my back on the way to the loo)

Life / Your Polish friends - why do you regard them as such? [41]

So dodgy on so many levels.... a bit like crime in a multi storey car park...:)

News / Multi-culti (in Poland) -- roadmap to disaster? [344]

OK...
it's quite a silly thread anyway,but here goes...
the term "multi cultural" is not a synonym for mass immigration, as it being used here.
It is actually a doctrine or policy whereby all religions and cultures are valued equally within society and particularly in the education system.
For example in a school, children would learn about Eid or Diwali along with Christian stuff.
Whether or not you agree with this doctrine, its irritating to have the term bandied about wrongly, especially when people abbreaviate it to "multi kulti" and use it almost abusively.

Obviously it's not going to happen in Poland as Poland was never a colonial power, and the Catholic church will dominate teaching and education. They are not about to start teaching about Ramadan in schools there are they?

So as I say,it's quite a silly thread, an excuse for rants about immigration.
There, was that on topic?
Isthatu have u seen "Run fat boy run"?

News / Multi-culti (in Poland) -- roadmap to disaster? [344]

but still that's not what this thread is supposed to be about,is it? Have you actually read the OP? this thread continues to be rant, rant, rant in quite a random fashion.

Isthatu my best moment is when the annoying Irish bloke (dylan moran) is dragged backwards out of the pub window and eaten by zombies.

Law / Is running a business in Poland very profitable? [33]


not really "chavs" more for normal families, for example, it sells all the top shoe brands,just cheaper,or cricket or ski gear at reasonable prices.

My outlaws go crazy in there.

Language / More than one type of love (linguistically speaking) [11]

haha not sure about that.....c'mon Pawian, you know what I mean,,help me out here!

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]


why would/should a Polish Judge "have experience in England" any more than vice versa? Strange comment.
Incidentally none of us would have any idea what goes on in a Family Court in England, as these are totally secret.

Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [69]

ha ha same here in Wales, full stop. Although I did collect a few normal field type mushrooms last year, they were delicious, but will leave it to the babcias of POland to be more adventurous, don't wish to poison myself!

Thank you so much Pawian!

Travel / My trip to Krakow and its ups and downs. [70]

Maybe it was a linguistic error, and what the skinhead MEANT to say was "we don't like scousers"....
in fact maybe some troublemaking bored English teacher in Krakow has been teaching their students all the wrong things? They could have even published a phrase book!! YOu know, like the Hungarian phrase book in Monty Python.....

the guy had a bad experience,could have happened in any city I suppose, never mind what did or didn't happen 60 years ago.
