grubas:

The train broke down?So what?You can try to tell me that no train ever broke down in UK

Imbecile.

Magdalena:

Honestly, I wouldn't know where to start... and where to end. And I might offend. Most British institutions seem completely topsy-turvy to me. I tolerate their workings but that's about it.

Ohh crap - what you didnt get your boiler fixed for 10 months, if your boiler didnt work you WOULDNT have hot water.

Magdalena:

Tradesmen: I had a faulty boiler and the landlord promised to do something about it. Sure enough, I get a phone call from the boiler guy, he'll "be right over". He never showed up, though admittedly he did call me one more time almost 10 months later to tell me that he "would pop round tomorrow".

I'm done with this one for the night.

Seanus:

Magda, when you hear 'we/us Poles', what do you think?

I don't have any special thoughts, why do you ask?

Do you honestly think I sat around and waited 10 months for a pathetic cowboy boiler guy to come over and fix the problem? When he didn't show up the first time, I took matters into my own hands of course. I am Polish, after all ;-p

Wedle: Polish are very capable of fixing things ...and another generalisation has just entered the conversation... ;-p

Seanus: Foreigners must bear in mind that Poles are well aware of what goes on and they voice their opposition in their own way. that sums things up. Poles are very aware of what is going on, yet when the discussion happens, they become defensive, because many are part of that corrupted system.

Cheery: I admit that I am a liar. So...how do we know that statement is true then.....?

Hehehe, top riposte! He might be a part-time liar. In which case, we are left guessing as to which part ;)
