Genealogy / Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums? [216]

The train system here is slowly being cut back and even the bus service between a lot of the communities whether small or large is not very conducive

Yup,same in the usa,the car trip that takes only 20 minutes by public transportation can take almost 16 hours(as the buses and connecting buses will make you wait for 6/7 hours).I agree usa is a nation for cars,electronics,branded clothes,music etc,but lately the food in the usa is getting compatable by that of europe for eg a loaf of bread in $3.99,other day I bought oranges for $1.25 each..either the food is getting expensive in the usa or the polish prices for food rising

UK, Ireland / Help required with moving my art works and stuff from Scotland to Nowy Sacz [17]

Most of the items are packed in double wall cardboard boxes but certain items are not easy to pack. It will be roughly size of Luton van or a half truck full load.

I would help you man but wouldnt take the risk of the cargo contents.Why dont you use a transportation company?probably not much expensive.

Law / In Poland, are debts passed on to next of kin when a parent dies? [13]

but from the date when you find out that you are a heir

How can that be prooved?maybe when you get the letter from the bank that you are responsible that you owe them..that is if you live abroad and after 3/4 years if one ever travels to poland and find out.So technically you have 6 months from then?

UK, Ireland / British or polish Passport ' Advice feedback [47]

I got my kids polish passports in 2000,ofcourse they were very young then,and now when my son grew up and got a job he had serious problems for getting top security clearance in the usa because of his polish passport/citizenship which is not a joke to leave been almost 11/2 year he filed an application to the president by voivodship and no answer yet.And the security clearance is pending till he has a confirmed letter even though the passport has expired.I wonder if people have same problems having polish and british passports?

Work / Scope for working in Poland after completion of Masters In Environmental Engineering? [6]

environmental engineers are not the best paid on average

I will not agree with that as dealing with EPA in the state of nj is not the young kids I deal with me frame that picture.Then again depends on the state also .Even dealing with private clean up companies I have seen fresh graduates starting over 75k.

Travel / Where can I buy alcohol in Poland as a 16 yr old? (is it legal?) [14]

buying alcohol in PL is 18

I always wondered who is charged in case a underage is sold alcohol? in states both the seller and the buyer is charged,to top it even if a fake id is shown still the seller is charged as he did sell to underage as well as the buyer.Same is the case with ciggerettes.

Life / Sewer smell in Bathroom - PLUMBING CODE - P TRAP ?? [4]

dry out if you don't know to top them up with water from time to time

Yup I had the same problem in one of my ground floor place,it stinks when the toilets etc are not used over a period of time so if you let the water run a while the smell goes away.
