Polish worker's excuse and a vacuum cleaner (UK)

A Polish worker has come up with an unusual excuse after being caught in the act with a vacuum cleaner. The building contractor claimed he was cleaning his underpants with Henry Hoover when he was found naked and on his knees in a hospital's staff canteen.

It seems you cant pick up a newspaper these days without reading something about 'dodgy' Poles in the UK. The Daily Express (my mom buys it!) ran an article on Saturday about Polish criminals being sent back home at the expense of the Polish government. Today I read that the Sussex police are actively recruiting Polish people as Community Support Officers in an attempt to combat the ever increasing crime caused by Poles in the region, particularly in Eastbourne and Brighton... although apparantly you do need to speak English too.

If Polish people object to these stories maybe they should warn their compatriots not to make themselves newsworthy by making sweet love with household appliances in public conveniences. Also if you feel newspapers are out of order publicising these stories why are you doing exactly the same?

It's been ONE so far. And since you Britons claim there are millions and millions of us in the UK, then 1 of those millions is not that bad. Besides the user 'espana' is not a Pole.

I knew this would make it onto the forum as soon as I saw it haha. I loved Russell Brand's letter to the press about it [printed in the Sun (Pervy Pole)].

I can't see how this is possible. Looks like cheap tabloid crap

Washing machines for women are much safer.

There was a story in the papers quite a while ago about this Polish bloke, nicknamed the Polish Borat, who was running around groping women in London or somewhere, and when he got caught he claimed it was 'normal' in Poland and he was just being friendly and flirtatious, cos its in the Polish nature and culture. Idiot.

I thought of this for some reason [can't find clip in English] From Scary Movie.

A powerful washing machine can be quite expensive. 1000 rpm? I'll take it. It seems from the number of stories, you'd be better off with an old cheap vacuum cleaner that is NOT too powerful. Eubanks don't do it for you though.

It's not anti-Polish at all, it just happens to be a Polish guy! Just a pity that the tabloids have nothing better to fill their pages with. Why the Telegraph bothered with it I don't know. But...er...I wish them both well for the future...

_Sofi_	Mar 4, 08, 16:56 / #
A way in which it might be considered anti-Polish: The length [and the fact Telegraph ran the story]. I can imagine this story having so many column inches devoted to it if the guy was a celebrity. I can only imagine someone originally from here receiving a couple paragraphs on the subject in the papers or maybe mention in the feature journalists' [i.e Lorraine Kelly, Rikki Brown]pages. Maybe nothing in it. Either way... so pleased this is newsworthy...

What's the big deal? Harry does this every day and nobody gives him grief. I don't think it is creepy at all he has named his vacuum Filios.

'Newspapers always have to mention certain details about the people about whom they report.' said Osiol, 31. 'It's a national disgrace. This country is going to the dogs in a handcart.' The horticulturist added bitterly. LondonChick wrote: I take it you don't mean Chris Eubank LOL! The Eubank: A non-electric carpet cleaner, popular in the 1970s, along with flared trousers that worked much better on linoleum tiled floors. It beats as it sweeps as it cleans.

There are poles who would not know what a vacuum cleaner is. It was the Russian Army in Poland after World War 2 that introduced the Poles to toilet paper.
