This formula has appeared over their doorways of milions of Polish flats, as Poles inscribe the presumed names of the Three Kings with chalk blessed in church on the Epiphany.

sterile, secularist, materialist scum.

Bit harsh to call Polonia secularist.

Of course, Polonius doesn't live in Poland. In fact, he's never lived in Poland.

Such piousd practices including the opłatek sharing, blessing of Easter baskets and blessing of newlweds-to-be by their parents before heading for church are enriching, heart-warming touches that set Poland apart from re-zoologised socieities wallowing in sterile, secularist, materialist scum.

Mods?

Actually, "millions" is a bit of an overstatement.

if he had been to Poland in the last decade, he'd know how quickly this inscription is becoming a thing of the past.

To someone who has actually been in Poland at all (ie, not you Polonius/Des) - have you ever seen this chalked on a "new" flat door?

Apparently you can buy special coloured ones for the purpose.

Say in two - three doors in ten.

Really are you the smarmy British expatriate Argus with the ability to view all of the door jambs in the whole of Poland?

I think 2 to 3 out of 10 is quite accurate.

the local priest will come around over the next two weeks

On the white PVC door frames it is invisible and apparently no-one in the Chruch has thought of introducing coloured chalk to remedy the situation.

Is 50zł still ok or should I offer more, inflation being what it is and all?

As I understand in Poland,you give what you can afford there is no set fee.

Half of the people who let them do it aren't remotely religious but don't want gossip and an earbashing from the priest's post-menopausal fan club who come round the block with him while he's doing it - more to see inside their neighbours's homes than any act of faith.

it is only the priest that visits your home, there is no gathering,

Ha! My friends moved to Skierniewice and the wife came home from work to find the priest interrogating her husband about their household income and standing there with a calculator telling him how much they have to pay. And some people actually fall for that!

Not in my block - there's a crowd of coffin dodging old bags and their long-suffering husbands who come with him.
