UK, Ireland / Buying a Polish vehicle in the UK [28]
I'd be more concerned that it wasn't road worthy than the issue of credit :D

Law / Poland on its way to Greece? [64]
Actually Poland had no choice but to accept the Euro as part of the accession to the EU. The only thing the can do now is delay it's introduction and long may that continue.

UK, Ireland / Why Poles will never belong in England [283]
The EU has done a lot to help Poland, that is true, but actually being lost without the EU I am not so sure. Poland still represents a potential for investment, development and good value for money. If poles are so bad why is the GM plant in Gliwice known to be one of the best in the world for them? Why are other companies continuing to increase their investment in Poland? Poles work and they work hard and no-one can take that away from them.
The Poles I know are well educated, fun and free thinking.

UK, Ireland / Why Poles will never belong in England [283]
I will never understand why people just can't accept other people from whatever nation they originate. We all have our 'histories' and 'culture' that have an impact on what we believe and the way we behave. Poles have a certain way of thinking, behaving and reacting which is different to the English way sometimes, but it doesn't make them any less a person than an Englishman. I have lived in Poland for just over 7 years and I know my way of thinking has changed to better 'adapt' to my new life here. I love the country, the city I live in, Wroclaw, and the people I have met both Poles and non-poles. But, I am not Polish I am English but I don't think it's important what nationality you are as long as you respect the culture you are living in, accept it and don't constantly complain about it.
I would find it very hard to return to the UK these days as I enjoy my Polish life too much.
