Warning to British people visiting Poland!!

I will for sure anytime I see people like "lef" giving us a bad name.

Besides, welcome all British and other people from all over the world to Poland and if you guys like our folk and country and you feel like staying here you're also welcome to buy any property you wish as long as you can afford it. I would do it too in England or wherever else if I could.

re: Not really - just Brit humour

- Really?

Well, if Deco really was just kiddin' and I didnt get the joke, then disgrace on me.

As for the question of why some Brits act outrageously abroad, first of all, its because they become automatically more noticeable than others, due to the prevalent conviction in many countries that the Brits are the classiest best-mannered people in the world and therefore arent upposed to act ourageously. Others have permission to act outrageously abroad - steal, get into brawls, scream at the top volume in public places, etc., but not the Brits. The other factor, it seems, is indeed a suppresson of the British, especially English, national character in Britain, due to so-called multiculturalism (which boils down to the much recommended (by TV ads, etc.) in-breeding with the Thirld World, especially African folks and allowing their values, such as dependance on the state, to dominate in Britain). And the Brit elites, alas, dont seem to be in real touch with the real British people. Only creeps of the Daily Mail ilk or the British National Party, whose political agenda is actually also the aforementioned multiculturalism, pretend they are for the Brit people.

These seem to be, roughly, some of the main factors contributing to the phenomenon in question.

this is a pretty accurate description of a lot of people in poland...

The line between high jinks and antisocial behaviour is a fine one. Probably the width of one beer too many. What really hacks me off is that some of the people who cross that line should know better. In many cases they are not uneducated dumbos but professional males who act like loonies when away with their mates. Best solution would be to photograph them and stick the images on a web site where their wives could see them.

I think no matter what, you are always going to get an element that spoil it for the majority....simple really...

Yes shame on you puzzler, of course i was joking !! :-)

lol, now that would put a stop to "jollies away with the boys"

you know what... its not just when they are away... these fekwits cause as much mayhem in british cities every weekend... its not just when they are away...

re: this is a pretty accurate description of a lot of people in poland...

- Dear me, bubba. Really you have encountered 'a lot of people in poland'(sic) who are allegedly 'imperialists, nazi's, jealous, bitter and many other things due to the posts of a few lame excuses for people' (whatever it all means)?

Any real-world examples of those alleged Polish vices?

re: Yes shame on you puzzler, of course i was joking !! :-)

- Meow!!!
;(

spend some time in poland P, other than as a tourist... open your eyes and you will see...

puzzler i'm not really sure on your position on this issue are you agreeing with people like Lef and Ola or are you of a different opinion?

Hmmm, szarlotka, Amethyst, and others arent you too hard on your own people? Some of the Poles also tend to be hard on other Poles. Yeah, one of the main reasons for the decline of European nations is the fact that members of the nations don't like each other, are harsh on each other.

I'd say that yes, scold some Brits who act outrageously abroad, but dont exaggerate about it.

Some time ago the Italian riot cops beat up in an utterly beastly manner the Manchester fans. It was extremely brutal and without any apparent reason. It seemed like an act of vendetta for the 1980s unfortunate occurence at one of the Euro stadiums. I would not say - as I heard some Brits say - that the Italian cops were right in this case.

I'm hard on a minority of them Puzzler. And I defend the majority.

re: spend some time in poland P, other than as a tourist... open your eyes and you will see...

- Bubba, why don't you tell me? Don't you have those facts in question?
:)

Its difficult for you to understand, if I go to another country where it has had problems with British people, then Im going to feel the backlash from that, I have said if you read my posts that its just an element not a majority of English that cause problems....but still its still causing problems for the rest of us who just want to enjoy some beautiful cities around the world.

we've now gone from British to English, The Scotch and the Irish party just as hard!!!!! with feet in both camps (English, Scottish) i do know

Puzzler, Last year when I was in Krakow, I was sat having a lovely evening drink with a friend on the old town square, where people were sat with their familes, then the singing of crude songs started by some scousers, you know we did, we got up and left because it wasn't pleasant to hear or see. So you see if an English person doesnt want to be subjected to this kind of behaviour, then god only knows how the locals feel about it. Its disrespectful.

re: puzzler i'm not really sure on your position on this issue are you agreeing with people like Lef and Ola or are you of a different opinion

- I definitely disagree with ola, and I am not sure if I share some of lef's assertons, but I defnitely refuse to agree with the asserton that Poland is full of imperialists, nazis and the like. for Gods sake guys. Especially you bubba, who have been living in the country for a while and ought to know better.

But you seem to speak from a minority (I don't mean here a national minority, but, say, cultural one ) perspective, don't you bubba?

ok i understand your position, but please don't blame me for somebody taking my words and using them out of the context that they were meant.

You can clearly see when i first wrote them, why i used them and in what context :)

yes mate... i met this guy leszek last week... he was bitter jelous and very confused...

satisfied now that i have named names...?

Not good enough, what did his parents do for a living.....

his mum was a peasent as was his father... and he ate bigos for breakfast...

any more stupid questions P... dang, youre starting to sound like lef...

re: ok i understand your position, but please don't blame me for somebody taking my words and using them out of the context that they were meant.

- Have I misrepresented your words? If so, if you didnt really mean that Poland is full of imperialists, nazis, etc., then accept my apology, man.

Also, no, I don't single out the English, or anybody else, for that matter. I actually like and understand you guys, perhaps better than many others do.

it's ok, misunderstandings can happen when you only see the words and maybe read them quickly, i was saying that maybe this is the impression people could get of the polish if they read posts by people like Ola and Lef.

This kind of hatred isn't helping anyone..I've just found out two of my Polish neighbours were attacked and stabbed last Sunday evening, one of them remains in hospital, all they did was go out for a drink and were walking home

where did this happen D?

this attack was in which country??? and do you know it was racially motived or just a random attack, mugging etc??

Best wishes to your friends, i hope they make a full recovery

It was in Somerset, it wasn't a mugging, there are a few BNP around here, don't know anymore.
