UK, Ireland / Sooo many Polski Sklep in the UK, LOL [64]

My post was more about the polish mentality and psyche really and their xenophobia of other food and prehaps a self-hated

But if you want to get into economical

The British Shops in Spain (Fewer than Polski here), are mainly shopped in by British expats, who are mainly retirees living in the sun, from their British Pension, from the UK.

British Money -> Spain

Polski Shop full of Polish imported Products shopped in by the Poles in exile by British money that ultimately finds its way to Poland (3 Billion taken out of the UK Economy a year by EU Immigrants)

British Money -> Poland

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.

News / Polish baby boom, but not in Poland [40]

Seen as the vast majority of the 100 Billion £ NHS Budget is paid for by British people, working in Britain, using British resources and Infrastructure -

For the Polish Nation in Exile, it basically is free.

How can Polish Orange juice taste nicer? It's the same Brazilian Oranges in a different labeled container

How does Polish ham taste better than British ham? Poland has special tasty pigs?
Maybe you shouldn't judge "British Ham" on the processed crap you buy in a supermarket aisle, and try the meat counter or the local butchers shop. Pigs taste the same the world over.

I can just see myself living in France, begging the local entrepreneurs to open a British Shop so i can buy my Tropicana Orange Juice and my Bernard Mathews Ham... NOT

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

Yes i've been in my local shop a few times. Some nice things in there.. but nothing that stands out as really special and exotic.

Most things you can buy everywhere in the UK anyway, Orange Juice, Pickled Veg, Tinned Fish

I know most delicatessens here in the UK supermarkets sell all kind of spiced sausages, im sure even polish style Sausages

UK, Ireland / Sooo many Polski Sklep in the UK, LOL [64]

As most of you know in the UK, we have food from everywhere on most high streets, Indian, Chinese, Italian, Turkish The list goes on. I've tasted some Polish dishes in my time.. quite nice, but in the bigger picture, i find it quite bland/boring, like British food

However, I've noticed a Towns Polish community need only be a couple of thousand (If that) before a couple of "Polski Sklep" is warranted

We have sizable minorities living in most large towns and cities in the UK, however I've never seen a Turkish shop, or an exclusively Chinese food shop in such Prevalence.

Why do they need them? Ingredient for most dishes can be found in the supermarket or the markets!

Usually large "Asian Supermarkets" are the norm, in big cities like Manchester You can get all kinds of exotic spices and herbs there from Asia. Very good!

There's nothing particularity exotic in these Polish shops - Polish branded Orange Juice, Polish Branded Tinned Fish,
Does Orange Juice from a English label taste different?
Does Polish Branded Tinned mackerel in tomato sauce taste more fishier?

And yes, my Polish friends, go to ASDA, Tescos and i'm sure you'll find picked cabbage and cucumber .

Is this just a deep-rooted need to assert ones Polishness whilst in exile? Signs of lack of self-confidence as a nation?

UK, Ireland / Websites for Poles to benefit from Britain! [210]

Merged: The UK is no longer a country to serve the British people

We are now simply a Infrastructure & Cash cow for foreigners to come and exploit. I don't blame them, and neither should you.

Blame the politicians that have sold us out.

The Poles are USELESS as immigrants for us. They serve no purpose for our nation, and don't bring any economical benefit.

Don't believe the "hardworking pole" bullshit.

They work low-paying jobs, but they claim every benefit package possible to negate most of the tax. Not to mention the BILLIONS they take out of our economy every year, by sending money home. They don't spend money like we do on British services and British food. They shop exclusively at their Poland-Import shops, they pay for POLSAT in their homes, and they house share with about 10 other people, to save on rental costs.

Then theres the small factor of the 370,000 Migrants on Unemployment benefit. Jesus Christ.

They have become experts in Claiming in the UK. I believe more so than the Brits LOL. They have Polish-Language websites, with more information than the official government sites!!

benefity.org.uk
benefity-uk.co.uk
benefityipodatki.co.uk

Type "Benefity" into the premier Polish UK community forums (mojawyspa.co.uk/forum) and you get thousands and thousands of relating posts.

They even register EHIC cards so when back home in Poland, and they fall ill, they can claim FREE healthcare from the UK Taxpayer!!!! You couldn't make this up really.

Having a child is a big decision for any normal British person, with finance and relationship to factor into the decision.
To the foreigners it's just a method of earning a few extra pounds a week, plus our free NHS makes it more of an excuse - Better get the Family started in the UK, than at home... where they'd have t pay medical fees.

It seems having babies in our country, is rather lucrative.

Births in England and Wales by parents' country of birth, 2010

A quarter of births (25.1%) in 2010 were to mothers born outside the UK
The total fertility rates have risen to 1.88 for UK born women and 2.45 for non-UK born women
Poland became the most common country of origin for non-UK born mothers
Pakistan remains the most common country of origin for non-UK born fathers

Don't be too harsh on our Polish and Romanian. and our fellow European Compatriots .. Turkey joins the EU soon, and no doubt many of the 70 million already have their suitcases packed. Exciting Stuff!

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 :)

UK, Ireland / Old Audi Cars are favorites among Polish men living in the UK? [8]

Is it just me or are Polish men living in the UK rather fond of old 1990's plate Audi A4's??

I'm not knocking their love.. Audi is a good solid reliable car, even old ones costing less than £1000, can be good day to day work horses :)

UK, Ireland / How many Brits are travelling to Kraków each year? [14]

In the bigger picture.. VERY FEW

Most Brits goto places like Greece, Spain and Turkey on holiday.

Eastern European city destinations are visited mostly by drunken lads on stay/wedding trips. looking for cheap beer and cheap women.

Prague is another good place for this.

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 :)

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

Weirdo's.

Probably to do to the deep self shame and jealousy to the British nation. Superior Economically and Culturally, therefore emphasize the Island nature of the nation thus making Poland a greater Nation.

Keep taking your cars to Polish garages in the UK, sending your kids to Polish kindergarten and of course!!! watching Polish TV in the UK :)

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

It's come to the attention that most immigrant Polish folks tend to refer to the UK and Ireland collectively as "The Islands"

I'm curious, is this something brought over from Poland? is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home?

I know technically the British Isles are islands, but in the traditional sense, people refer to islands that are much smaller geographical bodies such as the canary islands or the Caribbean :P

Do the Polish call Australia an Island as well?

UK, Ireland / Poles in England / English in Poland crime [25]

I suspect the only British criminals in Poland are the lads being drunk and disorderly on a weekend trip to Krakow or Warsaw.

UK, Ireland / Tale of a Polish Family on Isle of Man [43]

Are they? Plenty of Irish did just that, and they certainly wouldn't regard you as being their "countrymen".

Irish are the highest "foreign" immigrants in this country. Guess what.. i and anyone else would hardly notice. They integrate so well.
They are cultural VERY similar to "Brits". Speak the same language. Share the same humour, friendlyness... we like pubs, beer and football.

The links between the two British Isles go back 100's of years. Same goes for me, when i hope on the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin for a day trip.. i don't feel like im in a foreign land.

UK, Ireland / Tale of a Polish Family on Isle of Man [43]

Plenty of Brits have never bothered to even work 3 months before settling into a nice life 'on the sick', what's your point?

Erm... they're British? IE My countrymen??

I'd rather be paying for my own people than some foreign scumbags :)

UK, Ireland / Tale of a Polish Family on Isle of Man [43]

Benefits and Free housing is their birth right lol

I think they only have to work for 3 months in the UK before they get free housing and benefits to live off due to "unemployment"

UK, Ireland / Polish TV channels in the UK [95]

You *Might* have to do what millions of expat people living in foreign a country do.. Watch the native TV.

I know Freeview, SKY+ with it's 1000's of channels entertainment/movies/sport, and the world renowned BBC might be slumming it a little.. but maybe you can source your favorite Polish shows on youtube, or the web?
