imagine Poland going to the euro currency.....teachers in public schools in Poland would be earning 300 euro per month :O

You cannot just convert currencies in the absolute, you need to match them with the local prices and standard of living, in Spain i am not sure teachers make much more than that?

Not to mention the millions of people all over Europe recruited as " trainees" and who work full time and many years for peanuts replacing normal employees...

You're right - I should have said that anyone earning less than 1600zl netto in a big city with a degree from a public institution is a failure.

Sorry I thought you meant real money like pound sterling or Euros lol.

No offence.

What's your point? Poland is a poor country by EU standards. We know this, everyone knows this, nothing new here, move on. The UK used to be a **** poor country (the sick man of Europe, as it was called) by EEC standards, Portugal used to be so poor that the EFTA countries had their own special fund to help her after the restart of democracy, the list goes on...

When, how?

We didn't create the biggest empire the world has ever seen out of nothing.

Stolen spanish gold helped though lol.

After WW2, Britain was bankrupt. Then into the 60's, Britain was very poor indeed - one of the reasons De Gaulle vetoed UK entry into the EEC was because of how poor the country actually was compared to the original 6 countries that founded it. Then you had UK entry in 1973 - and the UK was still exceptionally poor compared to the others (except Ireland). Then you had the mess of strikes, the Winter of Discontent and more - really, it was only as late as the mid 80's that the UK started to catch up (and overtake) some of the original six EEC countries.

WW2 is obvious. Unavoidable really.

That will teach the UK not to disarm. Doing it again with military spending cuts.
