Life / School system in Poland? [59]
Poland is different to England in that they speak Polish, as Lukasz said, there are 'some' schools that teach lessons in English.
You will have to see if Poland actually participate in the Cambridge O' Level, this is an international qualification and not to be mistaken with an English O' Level qualification.
They either send their children to schools that teach in Polish or pay for private education, families from the UK are usually in a Polish / English relationship and the move is one for life so therefore the children just go to normal state schools.
Again, foreign officials would send their child to a private school that teaches lessons in English, Poland is not for life and not their home.
would very much like to send my children to Polish school and to learn Polish language and culture, but the fact remains that one of my daughter is already in 8th grade of an English Convent and it will not be easy for her to study all the subjects (Math, English, Geography, Arts, Chemistry, Physics etc) in Polish .
Poland is different to England in that they speak Polish, as Lukasz said, there are 'some' schools that teach lessons in English.

I just had a thought that there must be some people like as migrating from Canada, US or UK to Poland under similar circumstances

Usually in many countries there are English schools for children of foriegn officials living different countries for missions or so.

Life / Getting ripped off in Poland! Is it normal? or should it be tolerated? [97]
if I paid the price on the menu then all is good :) I actually felt more ripped off last time I was in Spain with the way prices have gone.
He does bloody not tell me what to think, maybe my wording was unjust, I sould have said "in my experience" but I've only ever been a tourist, I would expect things are totally different when living in a country.

Life / School system in Poland? [59]
They will be private schools, you are after all going to Poland where the national lang is Polish why on earth would they do lessons in English? You will either have to send your child to a local school where lessons are in Polish or you will have to pay for private education which will be taught in English.
I understand that private schools are very expensive.
Do any good English School exist in this area

That's unfair, I've travelled round Czech rep and visited Hungary and been to Poland a few times and never been ripped off, maybe prices of drinks in tourist areas were more expensive but it's easy enough to get away from the crowds and find a bar that's cheap and slightly less crowded :)
I am saying in my experiences the 'east' has a higher discrepancy usually.

Get in touch with the AA they will probably be able to recommend a good garage that can do this in your area. It's probably more common these days as so many people are passing through and purchasing cars in the UK to take back home.

dnz is originally from the UK so in comparison it is a lot cheaper, that's if you're earning a good wage...if not, prices keep rising and certain people get poorer and poorer.
I would say Poland (food prices) are reasonable, but it's not like you're going to get a weekly luxury shop for £10 - people seem to have this premisconception that Poland is dirty cheap and you can live on a pittence - it's simply not true.
The first time I went to the Czech republic I paid 30p for a pint of beer and £2.50 for a steak dinner (including coffee :))) - those times are well and truely gone! Exchange rates are bad in EU has expanded......

I takes a real man to apologise Mrs E, so this time he is forgiven.
May I ask a question? I'll assume your answer is yes, so i shall proceed.
Why do you think British women behave the way they do? Do you think that British men are perfect? You mention about our problem with teenage pregnancies - do you think it's imaculate conception or could it be that some grubby little 15 year old boy is playing his part too, but lucky for him he can scarper after the happy event has been announced?
Do you think that only British women drink copious amounts of a weekend? If so why were the marjority of arrests in holiday resorts British men who were too drunk to behave themselves? When I say behave I mean not only stupid druken behaviour, but also violence and sexual assults.
silobreaker.com/DocumentReader.aspx?Item=5_890272784
Do you think British women changed to cope with how British men behave? Or are British men still the same and British women have moved on?
I wouldn't dream of slaggin of British men because I know men come in all shapes and sizes, some good and some not so good.
ok...ok...you're off the hook.....too soft by half me!

I would hope a bit of both, but it is true that we cannot sustained the influx of migrants from none EU countries, we have more than enough labour both professional and none professional from within the EU to cover our needs.
The NHS has changed it's recruitment policy and they were one of the largest recruiters from outside of the EU, things change and the population of the UK has changed to a degree we no longer need to source from outside of the EU.
