Washing machine in the bathroom of Poles

Yep middle of nowhere, this is the Podkarpacie, where they plough using horses and sometimes men!!!!!.....maybe Lenka is right and Western style regulations will be a long time coming. But in my house I do it my way. I remember way back in the 60,s in England we had a couple of big USAF bases near to my town and the airforce people would sometimes rent properties. But there were american regulations to be met.....the house would have to have aircon in the bedrooms....a huge freezer or fridge freezer, seperate laundry room with a tumble dryer (and these all had to be of what we thought of as industrical capacity) Oh...and it also had to have a garage big enough for an American car (or a driveway/ offroad parking area that was big enough for two American cars (aircraft carriers). These regulations seemed crazy then, but eventually they have all been adopted by most houses in UK now being built.

BS. Another one that knows sweet FA about English regs.

Germany allows sockets in bathroom.

I've been to Holland and Denmark apart from Germany, and maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to remember sockets in the bathrooms there too. At least I don't remember NOT seeing them and having to use my hair dryer in the bedroom.

AFAIK England is the only European (?) country with this strange bathroom-related obsession. ;-)

A similar discussion, but from a different point of view ;-)

just think
if you were hairdrying in the bath
what would happen

its for your own good

I'm not a moron.Simple as that.Similarily you can say
if you jumped of the builing or used blender in the sink

you dont know who youre talking to

i am the fool that actually would consider doing stupid things like putting the blender in the sink

As well is the only European country with those weird sockets.

Dreadnought
Why do you write with such a condescenting vein each time when Poland is mentioned. No one told you to live in this *backwater* as it seems that's how you see Poland. Mind that Poles are reading it.

If that's the case - there are no regulations in this world that would keep you really safe

Ah....Zetigrek I think you misunderstand.The truth is the truth, I do live in a backwater....the locals hereabouts call this place Koniecswiata ??? end of the world?? I,m not one for all this PC nonsence....when I look in the mirror I see a white european......I,m not Black or Asian...I face reality. I actually like it here, I,ve done the big cities London, Frankfurt etc etc.......I,ve come here to retire and farm in a small way at the end of the world, life is slow here, I have time for off roading in My Unimog, a little farm work and seeing the countryside hereabouts. One day when you are old like me, maybe you will retire to Koniecswiata?? But then I took early retirement at 50 not sure you can do that here? Locals say it can not be done, but then this is a backwater, big city may be different? Edit: We wish we had chosen land further up into the hills with even more trees all around......perhaps nearer to Jaslo.

You have chosen to live there. Is it respectful to sneer at locals?

Ha ha......My dear chap, you clearly do not understand these people or have lived in a village. There is a severe pecking order here and I could never sneer at them as much as they sneer at each other.....even the drunks behind the Straz, have a pecking order!!!!! village life is mostly dull and nothing happens so they invent this pecking order and sneering at each other. You know what? I,ll bet it goes on in English villages too!!!!! (I never lived in an English Village...I couldn,t afford to) Because I am obviously foreign I cannot sneer or be sneered at, I am outside the 'chain of command'. (plus I count among my friends several businessmen, a doctor, a teacher, a professor etc etc.....and I make a point to stop and chat with the drunks...they just don,t know what to make of me?)

I'm not a chap, I live in Poland and I feel insulted with the way you talk, dear sir.

I suspect that the reason not many people from the West will come to Poland, is that we will never understand you and you will never understand us....let us agree to differ.

I understand pretty well other users "from the West". Dreadnought you're just very snotty, it's sad you can't see it.

perhaps you have problems understanding them
but i and many others dont

a quick read of some history books
might help

for what its worth
i dont recognise the poland that you talk about
i think
a lot of it is in your head

As I said....you live in your Poland and I,ll live in mine.

...and you're welcome to it.
