How does this example match your thesis that wealthy doesn't always mean honest ? I don't catch your drift.

Genealogy / Winskowski surname [4]
I tried 'Wińskowski', but there are only Winskowskis who pop out if you google it... Many Germans and some other nationalities (I suppose with Polish descent) with that name as well.

Well, you should buy him a very dark sunglasses. After a while give him a bit lighter ones. And so on. Perhaps that'll attenuate the whole culture shock :)

Here's an answer for your 'hamster question', Hueg.
YES!!! Me too. The family is close and important. When I was kidnapping my fiance from Poland, his sisters were crying, his mother, his nieces. I felt terrible. Like a criminal or somrething.

Well then, it appears that some shops charge for plastic bags and some don't.
Yeah, it's a good thing, my family uses bags made of strong fibre, so no amount of shoppings can be scary (especially for my mum).
really? ive been to tesco's there and other skelpi and never paid for the plastic bags?
Well then, it appears that some shops charge for plastic bags and some don't.
This encourages people to recycle which is good for the environment. people dont like paying for their bags but when they get them for free they use so much more!

Life / Prices of cars in Poland? [88]
Nope. Speed camera takes a picture of number plate of your car. Driver has nothing to do with that - it's the owner who has to pay the fine.
apparently because speed cameras also take a photo of the driver

UK, Ireland / Polish opinion of England as a country and the English nation [64]
Well, I've only met several English folks, and have been in England while travelling to Scotland, so actually there's not much to say apart from English accent being easier to understand that Scottish one (but I don't mind and treat it as some kind of challenge).

I know what 'average' means. But I don't think that 'doctors, engineers and managers' from Poland working in Britain will pull average wage of Polish workers up in these statistics, simply because there is too few of them.
it says "average" not "most people".
