To the UK-ers on PF...have you noticed any discernible differences amongst the migrants from the 8 different new Central-East European EU states in terms of work ethic, money management, sociability, pastimes, English language skills,etc.? Or can they by and large be safely lumped together?

OK, I'm from Ireland but I'd imagine this would apply in the UK too: here, the majority of Poles that have arrived appear to be professionals (architects, engineers etc) whereas the majority of Lithuanians, Latvians seem to be labourers, cleaners - not out of necessity it seems, that's what they were in their home country too. From what I can see Lithuanians & Latvians seem to have ended up more ghettoised too where the Poles have integrated much better.

Only the Russians have made a positive impression in the UK as they brought there lots of cash.

It's all about the cash; ideally free cash in the form of state handouts.

Don't worry, MisterH. Donald Tusk has promised that, with Poland under his rule, Polish
immigrants will start coming back to Poland en masse (and as we all know Donald Tusk
always keeps his promises.)

Mister H: don't integrate or care about their surroundings. Eh? There no city in Poland as dirty as London - don't tell me that you blame it on the foreigners. Anyway what happened that after temporary absence you rise again beast of the generational? Mister H: It's all about the cash; ideally free cash in the form of state handouts. I see, its a typical trait of the eastern Europeans.
