UK, Ireland / Immigration and Identity: how to keep Polish identity when living in UK. [30]
And you seem to think you know me...which is quite untrue, why not sign on as your usual ID or are you scared? Silly girl....Im not going to be provoked by someone like you...! :)
Not exactly what I meant, but since you wrote what you did, yeah why not.
It was a mistake...
Very true, you have never met any professional polish or non-polish persons so why do you profess that they would not want to spend the rest of their lives here. You make it all up as you go along, or whoever upsets you on the said day.
And you seem to think you know me...which is quite untrue, why not sign on as your usual ID or are you scared? Silly girl....Im not going to be provoked by someone like you...! :)
Such as? Come on Shel, let's have some stereotypes. 'Pakis' are all benefit scrounging Jihadists? Somalis are all knife wielding maniacs?
Not exactly what I meant, but since you wrote what you did, yeah why not.
What the hell are you talking about? Bjesus. Most Brits don't share the same ethnicity - 'White' is not an ethnic group!

would not wait too long for the email to arrive, perhaps you should move on and find another beauty in the midst, by the time you have finished you can be "spouting several countries cultures" depending upon which nationality you choose, and build up a very impressional record!

UK, Ireland / Immigration and Identity: how to keep Polish identity when living in UK. [30]
Whatever, i dont know any professionals that want to spend the rest of their lives here....and very few in decent jobs want to disrupt their familes lives at home, since as you pointed out:
The above is the reason they are here! Not to create a home.
You also might want to note that I used the word "majority" which doesn't cover the entire population of Poland.
Despite Shelley's ludicrous comments about no professional or intelligent Pole wanting to stay in UK, many do. Part of it is simply that work was/is available in UK and the career opportunities are/were better.
Whatever, i dont know any professionals that want to spend the rest of their lives here....and very few in decent jobs want to disrupt their familes lives at home, since as you pointed out:
An example; a friend of mine is a teacher but teaching pays crap money in Poland so he moved to UK to work, found the opportunities of reasonably well-paid factory work and decided to stay to earn money for a flat.
The above is the reason they are here! Not to create a home.

UK, Ireland / Immigration and Identity: how to keep Polish identity when living in UK. [30]
Polish people in the UK generally do their shopping at Sainsburys or Tesco - there are some "Polski Skleps"
Some Polish people will go to Polish socials, some don't, some Polish people have Polish TV some who speak English, dont have Polish TV....Some Poles are "clannish" some are quite friendly and open to having English friends...
Dmustudent, there are no hard and fast answers to your questions, Poles are not like certain other minorities from other countries that have landed on our shores, Poles are for the most part very much the same as any other nationality in Europe, the only difference between other European nationals and Poles is the numbers they arrived in the UK and for those Brit that haven't done a lot of travelling they seem to think anyone with a foriegn accent these days is Polish, here is an example: A woman was complaining about how loud a guy on the bus was, she said "bloody Polish" the guy was Hungarian!

I'd say the ones who are quite low class as we have a better benefit system than in Poland, even Poland has it's under-class and whilst stories of how good british benefits filter through, those sort will still arrive and settle, lets face it they have fuck all in Poland so why not come over here - fee housing, benefits, free school dinners, the list is endless - it's a totally different story in Poland......
No professional inteligent pole would want to live in such a shite hole as the UK for any prolonged period of time let alone move his / her family - those that are in these kind of positions are here purly to make money to make a nice nest egg in Poland, I seriously doubt they would think for one minute that they would move their family here.

It's purely economical - the vast majority will return home - Poland is not some 3rd world slum from which people are risking life and limb to escape.
I'm really interested in migration in general, and can see how Polish migration is simmilar to many other forms of migration, and am using Polish migration as a case study to explore migration as a whole.

Think British ex pats in Spain and you bascially have Polish ex pats in the UK. Fortunately Brits get a much better deal since they have sunshine, fab wine and heavenly food :) (all Spanish that is).
Can you explain what you mean by the above, Poles are the same ethnic group as Brits - or did you mean, nationality? rather than ethnic?

Looks to me like they're doing the same as any other ethnic groups who move to another country 'en masse'.

Shows what kind of cheap shitty pubs you go in, try something a little bit more "up market" next time and you might be surprised to find there are quite a few slim attractive English women out there!
As to your Polish boyfriend, don't worry too much, maybe he just wants to get to know you a little bit better, christ I didn't introduce my b/f to my parents for 15 months :) I did however meet his friends on a regular basis, everyone is different, maybe the language barrier is a problem, maybe his friends don't speak very good English.
don't worry, i've been with my bf for nearly 3 yrs and only met 3 of his mates, and that was like once or twice - plus he is not Polish.

Trouble is:
So you see we end up with more foreigners here because Polish girls marry their lovely exotic boyfriends who actually only want to stay here.

Life / If I could introduce something from my country into Poland, I would.... [175]
Fat people cost the NHS more than smokers (and pay a damn sight less in tax on their fat habit)! A fat person could fall on me, therefore endangering my life, in fact there is as much chance of me dying from a fat person falling on me as there is of you dying of passive smoking!
Hang on a minute! I love my country! The quality of meat in the UK is poor, unless you pay £25 quid for a half decent steak - I have had some lovely steaks in Poland for a fraction of that price and had it cooked for me in the bargain! As for T-bone, one moment you are going on about dying of passive smoking yet you will take the chance of contracting CJD!
Shelly, I asuume ur a smoker so let me enlighten you. Fat people cant kill me with their eating, smokers can kill me with their habit, just look at Roy Castle.

Do you live here or are you just a UK hater. The variety of staeaks we get in the UK is much wider than here, try and find a nice T-bone or some excellent sirloin.

Stella is not considered by most a good beer, now on the other hand Erdinger is a decent beer or Pilner Urquell.
Steak in E. Europe which includes Poland is far tastier than I have had in the UK in any restaurant, which includes some very nice ones I have been to.

Liar!
Stella?? I love it! Wife's not fussed tho'...can't work out why!

Fat people AND smokers should be banned from restaurants as they are both health hazards! Nothing more off putting than the smell of a fat person and the look of a smoker!! Especially when you are tucking into your long-anticipated Polish steak!!!
