Seanus: To go back to the root of the thread, I sincerely hope that some Brits get their act together. Some respect for a cultural centre! well, is it a result of advertising Krakow as a stag party's center ?

I don't think it was really advertised in that way. I think it was more word of mouth. Many came back as satisfied customers and spread the word.

Well, there are cheap flights to get there and some pretty girls to look at so why not? They have every right to complain given disrespectful behaviour.

You can't have the advantages of being a cheap labor and cheap party country (money) without the troubles that come with it. I am sure that if foreigners stopped visiting and paying into Poland's economy there would be a major campaign to get them back.

Poland isn't really that big of a tourist destination, not exactly what one thinks of as a party country...

If the FDI stopped flowing on the other hand...

Well beelzebub, as long as those foreigners don't moan when the Polish police step in and enforce the law in their own way. Manners must transcend globalism, Ironside :)

Polish Police enforcing the law?? Hahahahahaha....oh my....hehehe....hhahahaha. I mean if you ever need someone to check a homeless person's ID and write in a little book for 30min then the Polish Police are your best choice...but for anything else I'd not look to them.

Ever been to a football match in Poland, beelzebub? They are pretty tough, believe me. Good manners cost nothing, Ironside, that's their beauty :)

so manners are worthless loads of behavior guides for those who cannot afford to offend the others! Whats is beautiful about it? But let your communication be, Yes, yes; No, no: for whatever is more than these comes of evil. :)

This is a stupid thread as well behaved pepole should not miss behave in any country not just Poland and if they do, then they deserve a good Kicking. It is not just the British who miss behave there are ass holes from every country the world it just the English have more than most.

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,160 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Feb 17, 10, 11:55 #314
Manners show respect for others and consideration. They are far from worthless. Cannot afford? It's simply about how you were raised. Manners make like better IMHO, they bring out smiles and increase peoples' estimation of you. It's just a shame that many old people and some young people here don't get it!!

MAGS1982:

if anyone gets drunk on one and a half pints of beer they shouldn't drink.

So first it was two pints, then three pints and now it is one and a half pints. Do make your mind up.

MAGS1982:

He had two pints in one pub and then one and a half in the second.

You expect us to believe that a Scot who wasn't driving and had already had three pints ordered a half pint? Pull the other one my dear, it has bells on it.

MAGS1982:

i can tell you that the only explanation is being drugged

Either that or he had at least four pints of Polish beer (which is about 6%) on an empty stomach but thought that he could handle it because he's Scottish and therefore hard.

Let me put it this way: I've been in Poland for 15 years and have only ever heard of one bar where drinks have been spiked, however people get drunk in virtually every pub I have ever heard of in Poland.

I was in Poland last weekend to visit my Poland to visit my girlfriend. We went to a bar with some of her friends who I had met on my last visit who wanted to drink Vodka with me. We had a great night night, but I was not used to drinking that many shots, and stupidly drank pints of Tiskie at the same pace as if I was in England. Suffice to say I had a few gaps in my memory the next day and a new respect for Polish Vodka and not mixing drinks alongside it.

Polish beers (mocne) have a much stronger affect than english beers as well. After 2 you will feel the effect much more than a couple of English beers!

Rubbish! I am well versed in the art of drinking.

Possibly, but not probably - and certainly not rubbish for far too many at all. As I said, Brits, more than Poles or any other nation seem to have lost their ability to hold their liquer and think it is cool to throw up in public places.

Until you come out of denial and start of face the problem, it won't be possible to fix it.

Save your nationalist tendencies for you next binge!

TIT:

when in France or Germany or Spain instead of "how you feel" you will get voule le vous de tuch or pargue bon paa or ws ducht wor walt or skad jestes not fcuking englese

Was in Spain the other week, they speak English to the English all the time sweetie :D Also been in Czech Rep many times, they are happy to speak English with us too...in fact, everywhere I have been (even though I make the effort) they always speak English..So TIT, stop being lying tit.

Ironside:

Whats is beautiful about it?

If you dont understand what Sheep is saying, you will never know...manners maketh a man

Someone might look great and be accomplished but if they are boorish and ill-mannered they will not win friends and influence people. Only the super-talented and very rich can get away with it. The ordinary person is more likely to be acceptable if they have an agreeable disposition and pleasant manners.

I am assuming you are not super rich? :D

Seanus:

If someone is respectful and considerate for others he doesn't needs manners!

Seanus:

It's simply about how you were raised.

well, another load of useless tricks to deceive people - I was fed with them manners up to the tilt - so called manners do not make you a good person!

Right...so it is the rest of us who have the problem in objecting to larger louts drinking themselves silly and throwing up all over the shop at weekends. Tch, and there I was thinking that people should be able to hold their drink.

Will do Ironside and i have found the cast iron (North east bar) and will give it a try.

The actions of a minority and not something i tend to do, get your nose out of the Daily depress and go out for once, you will see life is not as bad as they like to portray. I have even found a beer for you too it's called "Twitter and bisted" :-)

It may be as you say, but if you think about it, the fact is that most people formed their opinions about Brits inability to drink outside - or do you think we saw people only throwing up at home?

Anyone pukeing in the street because he is drunk only demonstrates that he can't hold his drink - just another obnoxious little amateur who hasn't grown up.

English on Stag do's abroad are not good examples of the vast majority of English people abroad. They are there to get very drunk because its cheap.

The locals in Krakow should just charge extra for beer when its a group of Drunk English men, ban them from every decent club and the Police should arrest them for being drunk on the street.

This will stop them coming to Krakow and they will go to a different country. Why do you think they moved to Krakow from Prague?

I don't want to be banned from places in Poland because I'm English. I can hold my drink and be polite even when drunk. I'm a Happy drunk.

Ironside: how was it? Are you back yet? Alive and kicking ? let me know :) :-) It was a great day/night, plenty of people, some good live bands and some great beer. The cast iron was a good choice and a very enjoyable beer. After a walk in the snow (yep it's here again) i feel much better, so i am alive and well and thanks for asking.
