History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

This is a funny topic.

The one sure way to get a rise out of a Pole is mention "Eastern Europe" and Poland in the same sentence.
They're desperately trying to disassociate themselves with the *slightly* poorer Eastern Europe.
In 10 years time you'll be hearing "Polska is a Western European coutnry!!!"

I'm sorry Poland, but you'll always be Eastern Europeans.
The huge political, cultural and economical gulf between East and West is too pronounced.

No they're not. You obviously live in a **** part of town. You need to get around more.

UK, Ireland / Polish Ophthalmologist in UK [28]

Maybe they do accountancy services as well as food.

So you're trying to tell me, people abroad are doing their weekly shopping at a UK based shop??

Hardly the same as building British Sklep in every American and Canadian town is it?

UK, Ireland / Polish Ophthalmologist in UK [28]

Chavs on a self-catering holiday trying to save money..

Hardly a direct comparison of IMMIGRANTS living in this country spending MORE for their precious polski sklep products

Haha you really are funny.

Here's a nice Sklep to keep you happy.

Calais - The place where hundreds of thousands of Brits go every year to buy French Cheese, Wine and other goodies.

Me and some friends rented a house in Corfu a few years ago, i filled my case with POT NOODLES hahahahahahah take that

I'm not complaining just trying to raise a discussion into the origin of their deep-rooted nationalistic urges towards anything with Polski label on it.

The average Brit family in the UK will cook dishes from the UK, India, Greece, Italy, China.. etc etc
The average Pole family in the UK will cook dishes from Polski Sklep, Polski Sklep, Polski Sklep, Polski Sklep, Polski Sklep, Polski Sklep, Polski Sklep, and Polski Sklep.

The average Brit will drink a wife variety of beer from the UK, Ireland, Germany Holland.
The average Pole will drink Tyskie, Lech, and other Polski cat ****.

Ohh how predictable.

How exactly are British/Irish style bars in Holiday resort areas in Spain a comparison?
There are British bars all over the world, they're unique in their character and they appeal to every nationality.

Nothing wrong with the doc. It's the mentality of post 2004 Immigrants from Poland.

They have this weird clannish behavior not seen in ANY immigrant group. Including *****************.
I call it the Polski Sklep Phenomena.

Reading their forums gives you a real incite.

Men seek out Polski Audi specialists, because they don't trust English people with servicing their 10 year old battered Audi a4.
Recently i read a request for Polish Furniture and Curtains.

Weird.

watch your spelling

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [161]


If i'm going though a door and theres someone behind me of course I'll hold the door..

I thought he was talking about explicitly opening a door for a woman hotel style.

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [161]

If English people are so rude why do they form orderly queues to board public transport, and also leave room before boarding for people to depart?

In Poland, it's all for one mentality - Almost as if theres a winning prize waiting at the back of the bus.
Not just Poland i've seen this mindless selfish savage mentality in the middle east as well.
Asians are quite good. in Bangkok and HK at least.

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [161]

I wouldn't hold the door open for some random woman..

It's 2012.. not the 1920s. Women are just as strong and equal as us men, or so we're constantly being told.

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [161]

This is a common cultural clash between Westerners and Poles.

We are friendly social people known for being overly apologetic and polite.
Being miserable, abrupt and overly suspicious of strangers is the norm in Poland.

A British person would say "could you please pass me the salt". A Pole would abrupt blurt out - "Pass me the salt!".

I experienced Example #1 myself in Manchester airport not long ago by some Indians - They just walked in to the rather full waiting area and stared at me. I waited about 2 minutes before asking "would you like me to move?" in which i received a slight nod from the older woman. F*king weirdos.

News / Dirty deeds of foreign guys in Poland [98]

Surely the 2 Million Polish parasites in the United Kingdom, claiming benefits, claiming social housing, committing more crime per capita than natives has afforded the right for a handful of British idiots to behave like...... drunken idiots?

These idiots are not representative of the average Briton.
Just like that twat that totaled an entire family in his car in the UK isn't representative of a Pole in the UK.

However i'd say Poles are more animistic and savage than British people.

You guys cannot even queue up for a bus. Drive like reckless arseholes with no regard for human life.

UK, Ireland / Hitler gagdets in Britain and Poland? [24]

Hitler was clinically insane.. we should feel sorry for him

UK, Ireland / Hitler gagdets in Britain and Poland? [24]

This is just the same as comedians making jokes about Hitler and Jews on the TV. It's called a Sick Joke

In countries like Germany, Poland and Israel this might be completely unacceptable but not here.

Love / Indian citizen wants to marry Polish Girl and get settled there. [107]

You've made a financial agreement with a Polish woman over the Internet.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

Absurd to suggest any european nationality is "better looking"..

The gene pool or attractiveness is pretty much evens out across the board.

Polish women are the same level of attractiveness as English women, naturally.

English women have some disadvantages though.
Western Diet.. we are fatter and more unhealthy as a nation.

I could just as easy make a "English women are the most beautiful" thread on here, and we could have 57 pages of people posting hot english women.. like Kiera Knightly etc etc

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]


They've lived most of their lives in the UK contributing more than the youth of today does anyway, they deserve their retirement in the sun

Terrible ain't we. Going to Spain to spend our pension money

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

I think it's such a fantastic testament to our country that even in these dark times of the ressession and the terrible "state" we are in, still horeds flood though our borders seeking a better life.

Even the homeless Poles and Romanians would rather be homeless here.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

Yes they are rude and ignorant, but we cannot blame them, years behind the iron curtain has had its toll.

The Russians are EXACTLY the same, I've experienced their manners whilst on holiday.

The Poles are learning, comming to a civilized nation such as the United Kingdom, exposes them to phenomena such as queuing while waiting for a bus or a train.

Shop staff members being polite and friendly will also be a surprise to Poles new in the UK.

Driving like maniacs with scant regard for human life is rife in Poland. In the UK, they learn road manners and courtesy

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [437]

They're not as developed as us. SIMPLE.
Economically and Culturally.

We learned to queue up for the bus years ago, they still behave like savages fighting for a seat.
Our shop assistance are naturally friendly and kind to people, in Poland shopping is still akin to a Soviet Prison experience :)

Also primitively Xenophobic. Why the need for so many Polish shops, so they can buy their precious Polish beer that tastes sooo much better and different to the huge variety of beer we have in Supermarkets???

Why the Polish TV in the homes??

They here for financial purposes ONLY. Not to blend in, or integrate into our county but for Benefits, Jobs and ££££££, in the hopes that one day they'll take their plunder back to oh so great Poland :)

=Que the outcry of a few badly behaved Brits visiting Krakow each year.. or the good ol' 303 Polish Squadron that won WW2 :)

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

Merged: Polish women are Beautiful??

Could have fooled me. Just another fairy tale the Pole Ultra-Nationalistic, the Wannabes and the lick arses on here :D

Most Polish women I've met in the UK are either Butt-Ugly, Average or mildly pretty. Probably the same as British women on the "Islands".

One of the most hideous women I've met was from Slovakia or Poland (I think?) she was slim an had a lovely body though, what a shame :D

I suspect all the Polish beauties are cashing in on their looks in the brothels of Krakow and Warsaw.

I do think British women are more likely to be overweight/obese due to our western McDonald diet and binge drinking.

I don't think any nation can really claim to have a more favorable ugly/beautiful ratio or women. However when visiting Thailand and China, i couldn't help notice the huge amount of cute girls walking around, hardly any unattractive women lol

I think Scandinavia might be an exception as well - Loved my visit to Oslo :)

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

How can a Pole feel superior about any nation? ROFL

Maybe superior to Romania maybe :D
