well I have to apologise you for the mistake I have made
I don't know why it somehow stuck to my mind that the number of car accidents victims is over 10000 - I don't follow such things closely - so I though I am making an educated guess - seems like it was not well educated
In 2006 the figure was lower than 6000 so I guess it is not much different now
I had some doubts about the 10 000 figure that's why I checked it out
Anyway I was absolutely sure that the figure is still like a town vanishing

welshguyinpola: Polish ppl love to talk in superlatives, 'the best', 'the longest', 'the most ......' etc without showing any evidence of any of this I think that's a universal trait. I've seen it from a lot of people (from around the world.)

i'd say it;s a trait more typical for the British...

Gaa: i'd say it;s a trait more typical for the British... No way. I'd say it applied more to Texans;)

Texans of British descent to be more precise

i find alot of friends and cousins complain about how theres no future for them and nothing to do. but in fact, they love to go to clubs almost every weekend and party. they also dont realize that drinking at age 18 is not allowed everywhere. nd yes, they are very patriotic because even if they dont show it, they really love there lives because they're happy at what they have and not worry about stupid unnecessary things to buy.

The most embarassing thing in Poland is that you see all this sea of beauties and you wonder:How is it possible that I have not banged them yet?

southern: How is it possible that I have not banged them yet? Most probably some underground legal authority had the common sense to casturate you to stop the spread of disease.

Can't buy some badly-needed **** here (like a desk fan, for instance. Neither Tesco nor LeClerc seems to stock them. Neither does RTV.) Oh, and the beer sucks. http://polishmeknob.blogspot.com/2009/06/beerfest-be-not-held.html

I hated it when drivers stopped a few meters before the red light and then, instead of standing still, they slowly rolled up to the line, creating a gap between cars. Luckily, I rarely see it nowadays.

The absolute worst thing, bar none: No free refills on drinks, and having to ask for ice.

lets see.
dog ****
homeless dogs that nobody gives a rats about.
stray dogs that people simple ignore.
dogs that are kept in small out door cages.

locals that drink at the bus stops
garbage littering the streets and forests and the beaches up north
lack of recycling when it is a huge money maker
nouveau riche that think because they have money they have more rights
older women that offer an opinion on absolutely everything because they know better
traffic on all the roads all the time
state of the roads
the fact that infrastructure is the last thing built and the gmina doesn't seem to make the builders responsible for it.

that is just a start.

there are loads of things that annoy me about Canada too- but they don't prevent the enjoyment of daily life.

natasia: hate the mixture of snow and dog sht ... really hate that dog sht. pgtx: yes, people slide on dog ** around the town pip: lets see. dog ** Dumb question: Aren't the locals bothered by all this animal waste on their sidewalks? Aren't there any ordinances in place? Nobody enforces them right? The next mayor should run on such a quality of life issue maybe?

natasia:

hate that dog sh*t

yes me too! every morning you get up and go for s short walk, you will see people less than dog ****!! i dont know why these people dont clean it up after that! its absolutely disgusting!!

2. billing system- hate the way the bills are made! its prepaid on an assumption basis! hahaha! the most stupid system I've ever seen on earth.. trying to use tax system for bills and ''council tax''

3. Can't praise any other women if you are married. Like Asian countries were before! lol

4. the roads are abs sugar!

5. public cannot raise their voice. there is a sugar factory next to my house which gives bad smell everytime and its situated in a residential area but still people just take it on the chin, bow there head down and move their arse!

6. the way old people interferes in your personal matter!!

7. transport facilities- this is a disgrace- railways are not secured just open to anything/anyone and from Torun to Krakow 2 ways is 200PLN!! omg! people barely work for 1000PLN a month!

8. wastage of resources: like one of our friend said earlier that recycling should be encouraged on a larger scale. Poland is resourceful! they have things which could be used not only in summer but even in winter if more budgets is allocated to the national R&D department. 23% VAT yet poor living standard, poor govt services, ill mannered staffs.......

I still have more but they are not coming now! lol! I dont like these thing but as the water didnt reach my nose level yet I'll be here! once they reach there... I'll find a solution!
