Then you need to slow down MISS BRAINBOX....Then you might get your spelling right!!
Yeah thats a big concern to us also.....I believe the Ukrainians working in Poland get a Polish passport after just two years?.......Which then entitles them to work in Britain as part of the EU....Soon we will all be complaining about the Ukrainians on PF rather than the Poles!!
Thansk for your concern, but its my lunch break... not my fault if I type 60wpm
Then you need to slow down MISS BRAINBOX....Then you might get your spelling right!!
And that's not over. Soon Poland will start giving EU citizenships to Ukrainians and Belarussians. There are almost 60 million of them.

Well you said it!!
No it doesn't mean any of the above......it just means i can't be assed arguing with an ignorant t*at like you!!
enlighten the ignorant Puzzler, please.
Well you said it!!
- Is it an excuse to take to your heels? Got cornered by Puzzler, so in order to save face you basically say that Puzzler is stupid and you won't talk to him?

Its pointless arguing with the likes of you mate......You have a habit of misunderstanding everything anyone writes on PF.
You seem to have a contempt for Liza because she allegedly works for or in a post office. You yourself are, as I understand, a lorry driver. So why this contempt for post office employees? You mean lorry drivers are superior to post folks...? :)

Did you manage to bore everyone to death with your facts and figures?
What complete rubbish.....World wide reputation with who?......From a Colonial with a chip on her shoulder and an inferiority complex maybe!!....Why didn't you stay in NZ rather than come to work in the UK?.......Could it be because ''Shirker Britain'' has a world wide reputaion for being more.... ''Dynamic Britain''....Or the ''Promised Land'' as some of your Polish friends call us. Anyway i thought you worked in Finance in the City of London earning ''the top 5% pay bracket etc''.....but now you work for the Post Office right?
Given that you were posting that at 10.45pm on a Friday night, I'd say that marks you out as boring where as I was out having a good time :-)
Did you manage to bore everyone to death with your facts and figures?
Rightly or wrongly, the British worker has an established worldwide reputation as being shirkers, and the Poles have one as being diligent hardworkers. I don't feel that the British deserve a shirker reputation, as most do actually work well enough,

Liza you have got to be the boring person on this site(apart from me)....Feel free to go back to New Zealand....i'm sure the UK economy won't suffer....and take take your husband with you!
I know :-( Unfortunately for some, their views are possibly based on perceptions from the media or fear of the unknown... I'm very happy to hang out with the Polish, or indeed any nationality. Tonight will be two Irish, two South Africans, two Polish, an Australian, three English, two Scots and a Welshman.
Its a shame that on your travels you haven't learnt a basic level of English, allowing you to communicate effectively.
I don't slag the British off or Great Britain... if you would like to read my posts, I've said there are plenty of things that are good about the UK and its people.

I can not find the your thread i'm refering to...... but you did say you once taught English to migrant workers who used this opportunity to chat with each other rather than learn
Sorry!....That should have been.....'learn English'(according to Michal).
I have never been a teacher of English either in England, Poland or anywhere overseas for that matter.

I see your in a bad mood again Michal?.......I collect military cap badges for a hobby and i also have some German stuff....So does that make me a Nazi also?
To me they are simply stupid Poles, maybe they are the same type of Poles that should be stuck in the ground!

You mean Brits in general don't speak another language?.... There is only one language you need to speak and thats why learning a foreign language in the UK has never been very popular. By-the-way you speak English very well, but like i've said most Poles here either don't or speak it badly.
Most of it is directed at us don't you think Daisy?
Poles on average have far better language skills than most Brits!

I'm not bragging about anything Puzzler.....and i'm not claiming to be the brightest person in the world, but its a decent job and i'm happy doing it....As for Most Poles in Britain not being able to speak English very well.....I don't remember exactly where I read this, but from my experience of the Polish who live around here, that does seem to be the case.
- Ain't you braggin'? Because you are actually stupid, aijgramah.

Patriycja19.....I don't think you've read all of Bunia's remarks!.....She said somewhere else that ''in the UK we ring in sick''.....As an excuse to get off work!.... I think in some of her remarks she is suggesting that immigrants in the UK do the jobs that we are too lazy to do etc! Its the same remark that afew people on this site have made....Its obvious why the local people would want to do something else rather than working for 12 hours in a Chicken Factory etc!!....If I made the sweeping statement of....''The only reason why there are English teachers in Poland is because the Poles are too lazy and stupid to teach English''......Would I offend Poles?.....Or ''The only reason so many Brits work in the USA is because the Americans are bone idle etc!....Would I offend you?....My point is.... I regard myself as reasonably hard working and conscientious etc, and all my work mates seem to have the same attitude!....So why shouldn't I get pissed off with people who make those offensive remarks about us?
