Worth remembering that only some of those eligible applied for citizenship and of those who did and were able to get it, only some returned.


That number stretches all credibility.

Sadly Vance is even worse and of course their country has become highly polarised.

It's an annual press release about districts and streets.


Hard to know how anyone arrived at that figure.

Unless it's UK passport holders, many of whom in Poland are Polish, both from the post war diaspora and returnees from the post-2004 migration wave.

Afaik it comes from estate agents every year. Basically a PR thing.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics.

I remember a few years ago when the government in PL published data saying that every man, woman and child in Łomża drank 5 litres of vodka a week. They hadn't distinguished between sales and residency and hasn't taken into account that Łomża had all the supermarkets for many miles around.


Several years ago my street was officially the most expensive street in Poland. Thing is, there's only been one house sale there for years and that was a particularly expensive one.

Yep.

A country that's in love with football but sadly crap at it.

That's not my experience of it, except maybe the hearty bit.

Transylvania is nice to visit, especially the few remaining Saxon German communities.

If you want a holiday in central European mountains, Poland is an excellent choice and safer than Romania. Plus of course it has better infrastructure.

They can't even cross the river that they want to. Every time any of the orcs go near it, they're shredded by drones and other artillery.

Exactly that.

Reselling football tickets on the open market is illegal in the UK and most of Europe (you can do it via the club) however they get round it by operating offshore. One problem with that, not only the prices, is that people who are banned from attending football matches due to hooliganism just buy from them.

We have that company too and they have a bad reputation. They scalp concert tickets etc however there are rules about major football events to prevent it happening.

It might be OK over there because although there aren't the same rules about ticket prices, the issues with entry visas etc which might reduce the numbers going.

That happened to a British guy recently during the big plane crash in India. He was thrown out of the door when it came off and landed on a building. All the other passengers including his brother were chopped and mushed to bits due to deceleration trauma.

Dunno. Probably.

It's hard to speak about "what ifs" when neither of us have been in trenches.

BTW, that WWI story about the football match is apparently somewhat exaggerated.
