UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]



it says "average" not "most people".there are a lot of doctors,engineers,managers,it specialists and other skilled people from poland in the uk.the better u speak english the more likely u are to find a good job.i have a ****** manual job and get 10£/hour which isn't bad provided that i started with 5.50 3 years ago and i'm not going to stop there.

give it another 5 years we will be up there in the top 5.at the moment too many highly skilled people can't use their skills because of the language barriers.

Food / Borscht - Zurek / Bialy barszcz recipe [153]


in your profile you said that you can speak polish. click on the link and you'll find everyhing there.this base is called zakwas :

ingredients:
Zakwas żurku:
- mąka żytnia - 6 łyżek stołowych
- czosnek - 2 ząbki średniej wielkości
- przestudzona woda gotowana

and preparation:

Zakwas żurku:
Na kilka dni przed planowanym gotowaniem żuru należy przygotować zakwas-podstawowy składnik żurku.Do glinianego garnka 3/4 litrowego, a w przypadku jego braku do szklanego słoika wsypać 6 łyżek mąki żytniej (mąki na żurek). Drobno pokroić obrane dwa średniej wielkości ząbki czosnku, dodać do garnka (słoika). Całośc zalać przegotowaną i ostudzoną wodą w ilości która po dokładnym wymieszaniu (aby nie pozostawić grudek) pozwoli uzyskać mieszanię średniej gęstości. Garnek przykryć ściereczką i pozostawić w ciepłym pomieszczeniu, lub w pobliżu źródła ciepła (pieca) na kilka dni. W zależności od panującej temperatury po kilku dniach zaczyn winien sie zakisić.

Można pominąć przygotowanie zakwasu na żurek kupując gotowy w sklepie.
Należy jednak zwrócic uwagę aby zakwas nie był zbyt kwaśny ponieważ uzyska się zbyt ostry (kwaśny) smak żurku.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


yes it doesn't but statisticly it shows that there are very few such families.



one here,several there.nice.it is estimated that around 750.000 poles lives in the uk(official sources give a smaller number).you know one family which live in a council flat,heard about several.is it a lot ?


why not to get such a flat if you are entitled to it(without cheating of course)?it seems that you want poles to pay as much as possible but not to get anything.


i've never said that.i said that [b][/b]I don't know such a family.


but by saying that you feed trolls like uk or freddy.why you don't say anything about asians or africans in the uk.they claim a lot and tend to live in big groups in a house(i know a few such families where 3 generations live together even though they are well off.doesn't it bother you?

lastly,the british.i spoke to a few brits in my area and they said that a lot of people live in council flats or claim housing benefits(you can get up to 100% refund of your rent and 100% reduction of your council tax,so virtually it means that you live in a council flat). i don't really know official figures but from my experience I assume that the procentage of WORKING CLASS british families which claim benefits is high.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


ok, that's enough.another crap.
i don't know a single polish family who live in a council flat.it is extremly difficult to get a council flat for recent migrants.i was lucky to take part in a benefit session.none of the polish people who attended could dream about getting such a house. the only support they can get is a child tax credit and child benefit.that's all.

to get such a flat/house you must be a single mother,earn crap money or something similar.on the other hand a great number of brits in my factory openly say that they abuse the system.one,divorced woman,says that she lives with her partner in a council flat,while his flat is rented.this chap is a engineer superviser and gets a lot of money.

i would say that 50-70% of british families live in council flats/houses so please don't tell me that the poles abuse the system.

PS.i am not talikng about office workers ect who are well off without getting a council flat but about working class-labourers,production oparators ect.

why did you choose Polish.Just courious:(

Life / Bollywood in Poland [32]


why all indian movies are the same?
there is no kisses let alone sex scenes in those movies(strange! kama sutra came from india).
usually they are a bit childish and naive.
female voices sound always the same.
a lot of movies tells stories about posh and loaded young people not many about day to day reality in india.
