there will always be a place for the British in Poland if they wish to come and live with us.
Thank you Donoslask..
My pals at junior school were of Polish origin. I would go with their families to some of the bashes at the Sherwood Rise Polish club in Nottingham.I loved the symbolism of the Zywiec beer with the dancers on the bottle . Everybody was aristocratic in manner and it was a great atmosphere, and I remember the national anthems too at the end of the evening. As you say, veterans from the British legion would attend and vice versa.
All this talk in Poland today, from people who should know better, would have got short shrift from those ex- serviceman. I grew up with an "uncle" in the family who was from Plock, and knew why the British Polonia hated not only the communist regime, but also the brainwashing that fed ingratitude, that lives even today in Poland, drip fed to grandchildren, to what Britain in particular did for the Poles in going to war against the Krauts..
