Just got back from lovely poland, had an amazing time.
BUT BIG HUGE MASSIVE warning to britsh people visiting poland - Pleeeease dont get drunk and start smashing the place up, the poles are getting really p1$$ed off with it.

There are quite a few clubs who will not allow britsh people in because they get over loaded with booze and cause trouble. i witnessed it and it very embarassing.

Please remember that poles (well the ones i know) dont really get leathered. They eat, drink and talk, very refreashing.


I so agree with you! It's so embarrassing,and so typocally british!
Please dont smash the place up brits!

it is the well behaved, civil majority go unnoticed and an ignorant few are causing trouble.


Very true Daffy!

You never get a news report that says something like "One hundred thousand Brits behaved themselves abroad this week".

Same goes for a Saturday night out clubbing - people only noticed the w**kers who get absolutely bladdered and then started fighting with anything and its shadow.

learn to spell before casting your aspursions or maybe travel a little bit more and you will see that there are a lot of well behaved English people out that enjoy and respect other countries cultures and whilst you're at it try stepping off that bandwagon you just jumped on!

equally do you agree the polish troublemakers are embarrassing and typically Polish?

its very simple laydeezee92, there are PEOPLE from ALL locations WORLDWIDE that are plain ignorant and WILL cause trouble. be they Irish, English or Polish.

and they are ALL embarrassing and typically HUMAN.

So please don't be so narrowminded and tar a nation with the actions of a few. As im certain you would not like us to do of your nation. Im quite tired of arguing against stereotypes and narrowminded statments - its points like that that continue to keep them alive rather than see the problem for what it truly is. Rather than so, oh thats so Polish/British/Russian/etc etc. Why not profer a solution to such a culture? limit of alcohol per person? increase responsibility to the bar for selling lethal doses to over the limit persons (off licenses too) etc etc. Stop whinging and jumping on the band wagon and try to help the situation perhaps.

This is my first post on this board... and this might possibly be the worst excuse for a thread I have ever seen.

Look out, British tourists! You might have a couple of beers with some kids who then show you round a derelict factory with shed-loads of asbestos in it which will get into your lungs and kill you.

Daffy as a moderator you should hold your head in same, you have been talking so much nonsense of recent times, just open your eyes when you go to Gdansk and Sopot, the British are just thugs and low life's. Because you are British doesn't mean you have to defend your own kind.

Yeah its good to have a laugh, I suppose we are all different and all have our own opinions, like I've mentioned in other treads, I may speak out of turn but I never intend to offend anyone, I have a lot of time and respect for the Polish people, I've done pretty well but unfortunately most Poles are doing it hard. I believe Poland is being used up at the moment and is losing its identity.

how.. nothing can take polands identity away lef.. even if they put ten new stores
up. poland will always be poland..

I can see your point about certain things, but poland needs to grow, she is behind
in alot of things thats why her economy is so bad.. thats why people left to work
in better jobs.. she needs a face lift.. do you really think people will let go
of their culture.. stop going to church and teaching values?

and to add to this, even in America the Polish culture is strong, chicago being
one of the most populated areas.. they still wear folk dress and dances and
food and fun and its not going anywhere lef, especially in the strongest place its
originated from..

Why is it wrong to visit Poland...


it's not. ignoring those voices is the best policy. myself, I find it iteresting to meet foreigners in Poland and learn about their experiences in my country, especially since only throughout recent years we see large increase in numbers of westerners visiting the place (except for the Germans, they've always been there, at least where I come from). don't worry mate, you want to go and have cheaper fun in Poland, GO AHEAD! :)

hi, i'm a british male who emigrated permanently to south east poland. i came to live in poland with my girlfriend who is polish, after we met in london, and we intend to get married this summer.
i came online to find some information about other english people in poland, and i was very upset and shocked to find that the majority of articles are about how english people are coming to poland, getting too drunk, smashing the place up and being generally disrespectful to their hosts. i found that many poles are generalizing that english cannot take their drink, and should be banned from clubs and hotels.
i should explain an important point.
in england it is very unusual (apart from weddings and funerals) for english people to eat while they are drinking. when i first came to poland, i could hardly stand up after a few shots of vodka, mainly because i refused to eat. now, i eat and drink all night long with out any harm just a very mellow mood.
if english people could adopt the polish way of enjoying alcohol, then maybe the common problems of a friday and saturday night across the uk, could be avoided.
please, please, please do not generalize that english people are bad news. :)

Well, there's one thing about the night-life in England: most clubs close at 2am. No wonder why...

IMHO the underlying problem is not the alcohol, but the fact that the English youth (or, hmm, the youth in England) have no discipline. When they go out on the p*ss, they know neither God, nor human. They drink brainlessly... And they turn totally unpredictable, no matter their age, though. At home, I know "who to avoid, where to go" (generally the low-life type of people like gipsies and low-class pubs + all-too-popular clubs), but in England even the most harmless situation can end up awfully...

i feel so ashamed
i would love to have seen Gdansk, wandered in the Tatras, seen that strange light you see in a bohemian sunset. Heard the sexy accents and drank borscht of a summer supper on the beaches of Sopot. Viewed the endless enigma of the architecture and revelled in Gorrecci....but, as with the rest of Europe, it seems my 'fellow countrymen' got there first; i would'nt feel welcome as i hate the drunk brigade far more than any pole, and can well understand why poles would be at the very least noticably cautious were i to appear there. Might try Lake Baikal in Siberia instead where the degenerate scum of Americana have yet to manifest their disease
