I have, however, many many times been let down by workmen, like builders, electricians, plumbers, etc. They say they'll do the job next week and then disappear for a month. I know there are flakey, unreliable tradesmen everywhere, but in Poland it seems that they just don't care about their reputation.
We can't ask as much as we want so don't care about our reputation. Thank goodness I escaped myself to the office finally. Several times changed my phone number to drop my moaning "clients".
