Tens of thousands of Poles fought for Britain during World War II - my dad was one of them (Drugi Korpus Wojska Polskiego - Polish II Corps).

Now tell me how many of the Poles who moved to the UK since 2004 have joined the British Armed Forces.

Your Balkan Power would be useless against the Gurkhas, trust me.

Alot of blahblah in that wiki page..."martial race" my arse...what battles did they win against the Germans (wanna know that too)...

Nepalese (Ghurkas are Nepalese after all) are small, dirt poor people, barely 1.50 m...with turban, I don't think anybody was afraid of them.

And what did they do against the chinese opressors and occupiers during the last decades if they were such a "martial race"? Not much I fear.

I read in some british book that the german soldiers where totally awed about the heroic Ghurkas...but I never found any german story about that they ever met one. So sorry if I don't believe that...looks like wartime propaganda to me.

Yet they were allowed to stay in the UK no problem, actually. Gurkhas needed special lobbying, as late as last year, if I remember well.

And - Poles fought for Britain, but only because of the Alliance, so somehow in self-interest. Gurkhas did not fight for Nepal. Even if you treat them as mercenaries, they did well.

Not legal. Only UK citizens for ?? years allowed. I bet some Polish youth would much prefer UK uniform to hammer and chisel.

southern:

Actually... they took part in Monte Cassino, quite a lot, and strong hope was they will prevail. The thing needed Poles, though, so no shame to Gurkhas, really...

plk123: nott:chisel. scythe Lost me again. You hint at kosynierzy, or perhaps sickle? ------- The thread seems to have started wandering, so it's like close to dead. Dear Mods, please let it live for a day or two, and then I will post conclusions, Ok?

*astonished, actually*

Im rather pleased... :D

NorthMancPolak:

But if my block started to fill up with Somalis or Pakistanis, I'd be out of here faster than you can say lokshen kugel!

We both know that is NEVER going to happen :D

nott:

This having said, I work with a Somali girl, and no problems. Very nice person.

Now Im astonished..A somali that works..I dont believe you! ;0)

Trevek:

lol I've not lived in Britain for a while now but before I left I was based in Glasgow. Lived in a house load of Afrikaaners. What I noticed was that at one point lots of Antipodeans worked in pubs and sandwich bars but slowly the accents changed to those of South Africa.

Safers now need visas so their access is limited (those applying for a 1st visa that is), too many overstayers and other africans faking SA passports....Ausis come here on WHVs and work for the full 2 years and are also prone to overstaying...
