Not looking at you when serving you or talking on the phone and not opening the til for the next 2 mins, that's bad. I had that today, 2 idiots in consecutive delis. They just don't give a toss.

My ss were in a weird mood too, aloof and disinterested. Cnuts!

Polish people are extremely rude especially females who seem to think they are better than everyone else and seem to have got it into their heads that they are all highly attractive when this clearly isn't the case. Educated blokes seem to be fairly civil and happy to help but the ones who are thick are just khunts.

Absolutely. My girlfriend is Polish and she and her kids are completely lacking in basic manners, for instance if we are invited out for a meal they simply eat and leave. No thank you's, no see you soon, they just feed their faces, invariably turning their noses up at anything which isn't meat or potato, and leave.

Polish people are definately more direct...sometimes it hurts and it could be preceived by other nationalities as rude.

Actually, being originally from the east coast (of the U.S.) I quite like the directness of the Polish people. It reminds me of New Yorkers & Bostonians and the rest of the people in the Northeast U.S. They cut to the chase without all the BS smalltalk. Now living on the west coast of the U.S. (near San Francisco) I have to remind myself constantly to greet people with the small talk. A lot of people have called me rude or abrasive but the fact is, I'm from the east coast where people are just more direct, very similar to Polish. I also noticed years ago that californians are ridiculously over sensitive.

What's the definition of rude? And what's good manners? What is considered the polite way to act in a given social situation?

One thing I noticed time and time again is that Poles do not wait for everybody to be served before starting to eat.. On the other hand, men are much more polite/gallant with women compared to the West (they hold doors, pass coats..)

I noticed that first in France, and the explanation I got was that food should be eaten while it is still hot. I'm Polish, so I always waited and they egged me on to eat when the plate was put in front of me. Live and learn.

You haven't had statistics and probability in school yet, I suppose. That comes at higher levels of education if you chose to continue. Highly recommended.

Nah. It proves that McCoy has a wicked sense of humour and enjoys winding people up.... which means he's also an honorary Brit;)

It is very rude to disagree with people who make sweeping generalisations about a nation or a race. Please be more polite in future Charlie99.

No. But you are allowed to graze sheep on Hampstead Heath at no cost and to take one carp a year from my lake for Christmas. Plus I have to buy you a beer on every day of each month that starts with a J.

I'm well educated and familiar with the concept of statistics, but thanks for the assumption! In a debate concerning manners, politeness etc I found it ironic that someone would resort to profanity. Maybe that's simply because he lacks the capacity to contribute anything. Hence my tongue in cheek comment.

I understand that Polish people are straight forward that's not the issue, possessing above average intelligence I'm able to separate straight forwardness from manners. I've travelled widely and experienced a number of different cultures and I can honestly say that my opinion of Polish people is that they lack manners, and opinions are cultivated by experiences. I used an example to illustrate my point i.e. a family being invited for a meal and none of them offering a word of thanks but I could have used others. I have never experienced this with any other culture, it gives the impression of arrogance and that the invitation was simply expected.

Plus I have to buy you a beer on every day of each month that starts with a J.

Maybe the meal was dreadful and they were being polite by not saying anything.

I don't think Polish people are rude but I think some people lack a sense of humour and are in fact trying to be rude.

If this is directed at me, you are sadly mistaken.

Speaking of a sense of humour - In order to get his bank loan, John Cleese had to pretend he was Polish, and claimed that his aunt came from the small southern town of Pcim, which is on the road to the Zakopane ski resort from Kraków. The result? An outcry by Pcim’s mayor, who failed to see the humour in the joke. But after consulting with some PR agents, the mayor U-turned on his accusations and now Pcim wants to use Cleese’s image to promote the small town, with a slogan stating ‘Thanks for remembering us – Your aunt from Pcim.’

Apparently you can buy a sense of humour!

I hope you are rich.

I live down the road from Pcim and it was a bank advertisement for WBK.

My comment was directed at the Mayor who had obviously had a sense of humour bypass, until it dawned on him "hang on" there's coin to be made from this.
