Why the stubbornness and narrow-mindedness of some Poles?

Real ale. No-one else really seems to touch it.

I think there are northern and southern European ways of drinking.

About language / culture coming across as rude or whatever, I stood behind an American tourist at a market stall selling noodles. He kept pointing and saying: "Can I get..." which to many British ears sounds rude. Maybe he was being polite in his own culture's way!

perceptions

i had a gf from another country who i knew to be a lovely, kind woman... but when in the uk, her mannerisms, both verbal and physical, were perceived as rude by my friends

poles have been labled as stubborn, rude and narrow-minded. whether or not they actually are is not the point - the point is that they are perceived as being so and this is what is causing people to make these accusations.

when in italy i wasnt comfortable as being perceived as a british p*sshead as i didnt think this was fair... so i changed my drinking habits and started drinking at home.

how is a pint bigger then a liter? maybe after a few of those pints it seems like you have to p*ss out a liter. lol

i have rarely been served a litre of beer as the standard measure
