Wages are going up..

yawn,at the risk of repeating myself groundhog day like,wages have gone down in most blue collor sectors....£9.60 odd in the 90s for warehousing work...£5.60 odd now.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

have never heard of them "giving" money away, surely this money is deducted from the weekly giro...or has to be paid back when the person starts work...great isnt it in this country.

I was out of work last year for various reasons(nothing to do with the thousands of poles round here) and this is what I was offered,no paying back,just a realisation that the long term unemployed maybe dont have the cash to go out and by trendy/smart clothes for interviews. As Id lost ALL my clothes in the june floods I wouldnt have complained if I had qualified.

More with being responsible for your family..

Exactly,in my case,much as I would have loved to take up the offers I got of work in,oddly enough,Holland and Poland last year I couldnt and still cant just up sticks and leave my disabled mother to fend for herself.....

but there is NO way that he received money for a new shirt for an interview

Actually,although my earlier post regarding her barmy remark that it is easy to be unemployed in the UK were,surprise surprise deleted out of the blue,Im afraid yes,there is money available for things like new clothes for interviews etc,but only if you have been unemployed for over 6 months.

I personally think everyone should experience life in a different country for a while; it certainly cures the problem of being a narrow minded fascist .

blah blah blah...Im agreeing with arien here,grow the fuk up and come back when its not just you and or mummy and daddy arnt at the end of a phone line ready to bail you out.

Its the old nod n a wink though isnt it. Its like the jobs local authorities advertise.Everyone KNOWS those jobs have already been given to someone already "in the club" but the adverts are still placed in the Job center/newspapers just to follow the rules.....

if it came across that I dislike all Brits, that was not my intention. :)

Yes,my apologies for being a little OTT back there Polska,...I know,I know,its bad enough when people who have never set foot in Britain say similar things....I just like a little balance.

(again,sorry babes.)
I have that generic "mate who works in" a job center...even he told me there are a good percentage of agencies in this area who are soley employing non British workers,bloomin anoying. There are also many farms a few miles from here that NEVER advertise,be that paper or job center,they have there dodgy mustacheod Polish gangmaster who fixes everything for them.

My own experiance a couple of years back when looking for a new job ,troop round the agencies,passport in hand and look of shock when they se it is maroon not blue,needles to say nothing comes of signing with them,maybe Im "over qualified" for those jobs?Who knows,but it still doesnt explain why those who have worked in those manual type jobs since leaving school now find themselves struggling to find even the odd weeks placement....as Ive mentioned before,in the late 90s I worked breifly in warehousing while studying,basic was £9.60 an hour,now those same jobs are minimum wage,that must be causing resentment/financial problems for people mustnt it?

Shouldn't a moderator take a slightly more objective view ?

I dont think anyones ever accused polska doll of being impartial or a good moderator before.'fraid she seems a bit self loathing to me,doesnt seem to like "her"fellow countrymen but absoloutly adores all Poles....

Are we thinking about the same forum?

yes,Polish history and politics,but,dont look if like polska doll your under the delusion that the sun shines out of every Poles beehind.

I'm not sure why I'm being accused of being the Polish Daily Mail

Because you come out with the same sort of ill informed knee jerk garbage they do,only your targets arnt Eastern Europeans but British people,whats all that about?

I am starting to lose the will to live with all this immigration stuff though.. :D

Yes,as are many thousands of people forced out of the job market around these parts.....

But i hate Whiners.

Who does? So old chap,never been undercut by compition in your line of work?HHmm.Or is it more the case that you can now employ nice cheap Poles on your sites instead of people who know the value of their skills?

Who cares ? The whole thing is going to sink anyway...

Go tickle a duck....it already did around here last june anyway :)

Go to sleep.

Says the guy an hour ahead of us.......schmuk...

I was really amused at the Dorks who when offered £6 and hour to go Picking Veg. Said F'k that. I would rather sign on.

And then in the same breath ***** about the fact that Polish people snap up the Jobs.

Yep,I meet these types often,they are a MINORITY,Im just sick to the hens teeth of Polska and others being just as dumb and bigoted as noimmi....it goes both ways....

Some Brits won't take the jobs because of the low pay, therefore deciding that they are "better than that". But why?

No NO NO....its not Better than anything....good greif,the farmers are paying crappy wages,often subsidisng housing...British workers with morgages to pay just cant afford to do these jobs...simple as...basicaly what your saying though is Poles are dumb enough to work for near slave labour wages...and before you think I have hidden motives,I could care less,I own my own house outright,I just happen to live very near to these farming areas just over the bordr in Lincolnshire,newsflash Polska,they dont even advertise the jobs here,instead going straight to Poland or Polish employement agencies. Please,Id like to know what your situation is,do you live in the UK,are you maybe not lucky enough to have recieved a great education etc etc,as always it isnt us lucky middle class types affected its those in the most vulnurable positons,the least mobile who are affected....

Dont get me wrong,a minority who say they cant work because of the "bl**dy Poles" maybe arnt looking hard enough,but,there is a very real case of Locals being frozen out of the job market around these parts. Again,why the automatic sympathy for "poor poles" and a nasty streak of condisension for "poor British " people?

OK, so what you're effectively saying is that by filling positions that Brits find "below them", immigrants are NOT boosting the economy...eh?

God,please dont perpetuate this myth.....its not a case of "below them" in most cases it is a simple fact that the jobs discused are on the lower end of the minimum wage,basicaly cheep farm labour that just dont pay the morgage.Or alternativly its Companies going for a percieved cheeper option.

Life / Polish movies with English subtitles [87]

I havent actually seen the other 2 yet,over here Polish films can be stoopidly expensive..Europa Europa cost me £25 on DVD (about $900 ;) )
But Wajdas Trilogy pops up now and again on one of our Digital Free channels,Film4. Decalouge was shown in full on the BBC a year or so ago too( the hanging scene reaffirmed my abomination of the death penalty,gruesome.)

I was also surprised to find on my last trip to Poland that Kanal wasnt available on DVD so for a couple of years I had to make do with picking out some of the dialouge on a non subtitled video cassete and make the rest of the story up from my knowladge of the uprising :)

Language / Your perception of the Polish accent [145]

More often than not, their teaching abilities were a dammed sight better than the average CELTA grad too

Agreed mate.
Re accents though, Dont worry about it,thats what makes the world interesting,as long as your words are understandable who cares.
One thing I find as a native english speaker is that generaly when it comes to accents,or,pining down someones countyry of origin rather, with blokes I can tell the difference between a Pole and a Russian speaking English but with women its much more subtle.

I prefer the Russian accent but the Polish accent is nice enough, provided the woman doesn't whine (super high pitch), that irritates me

OMG,not just me then,its that whiny non noise made between real words,sometimes you would swear it could shatter a wine glass :)

I think that there should be a minimum of five years worth of contributions before people are entitled to services such as the NHS.

Does that follow that all UK born folks should have to wait till they are 21 for treatment on the NHS and then only partiel untill they have had 5 years of paying full Tax/NI making some services unavailable till age 23?

No sh*t,you dont say,wow...so the ethnic cleansing of the aborigionals and the forced seperation of children from parents happened for 70 odd years under an indipendant Aussie government did it? Ok,youve got the moral high ground back and no mistake.....
