Dizzy Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Google "Warrington Forum" and this comes up before Warrington Worldwide,Try it. RC.... Any chance you can edit your title a bit and put a few spaces in it or perhaps something like <without this bit> in it (ie so it's not a direct web link format). Only reason is to stop the back link and also all the foreign automated and foreign human spammers from picking up on it that's all so don't take it personally I would have done it for you but it wont let me. I wonder why we have never had any genuine 'local foreign people' registering on here though... saying that I don't blame them really and they wouldn't have a clue what we were all on about anyway just as we don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they like you I thought you were kidding..... and I went to look just in case..... and they do have a picture of my car......

Dizzy Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 So you didn't believe me at first then Baz. Charming and as if I would have joked about something so serious. Not just your car though is it... unless the person sat in the drivers seat was trying to pinch it PS have you checked out the job sections on the main site that RC mentioned. Maybe it's just the translation but some of them are actually rather funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I personally believe that it is to their credit that the Polish community in Warrington have taken the initiative to construct a social website to help each other to intigrate into our town and why shouldn't they, British ex-pats do exactly the same when the are abroad, i don't have a problem with Polish people living in the UK, let's face it they fought alongside our lads in WW2 and after it was over many stayed here and in numerous cases not out of choice, there families had been obliterayed by the Nazis. I do however have a problem with eastern Europeans (and other nationalities) that have entered the UK illegally, many being the scum of those countries who won't work in their own countries and have no intention of working here either, their only intent being to live on the proceeds of crime.

Gary Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Perhaps someone should volunteer to venture over to "the other side" and invite them to integrate with the Warrington community on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockcutting Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I really didn't expect this topic to be of interest and am very encouraged by the variety of replies. My (late) father-in-law was a Polish freedom fighter flying Spitfires with the RAF who settled in UK but he didn't really learn to speak English (well he did but with an accent that very few English people could understand). Apologies to Dizzy but I don't know how to change the thingy either! In my opinion it would be good for the native Warringtonians to welcome the Warrington Polish community with open arms and I have asked them if they run a class teaching Polish to English. I believe they do and I for one would like to sign up.Dzien dobry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 A lot of my fellow Officers are Polish and are good blokes (with the odd not-so-good ones mixed in as you might expect!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockcutting Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Are the crew of the Sarnia Liberty aware of the sea conditions on leaving Scabster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 My Grandad was one of the toughest blokes I ever knew, even in old age he was a proper handful. He was a Desert Rat and was at , amongst other places, Monte Casino. He swore that the Polish fighters were the hardest bunch of men he ever met and I think it was the Poles that eventually took the position. He would balk at some of the things that get posted about Poles on here and things that get said about Poles in general, especially by some work shy chav looking for a scapegoat but I guarantee you this, if he were still alive you would not insult them to him twice... I enjoyed that rant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockcutting Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 My Dad was in the SAS in WW2 training the "Free French" to parachute back into France. He was decorated and in my mind, at least, a hero. But his family didn't come from Warrington. Can't we welcome newcomers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Of course we can welcome newcomers Rocky!, but what self respecting Polish citizen is going to join this forum after many of the remarks posted on here are derogatory toward them?.

Dizzy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 ... I have asked them if they run a class teaching Polish to English. I believe they do and I for one would like to sign up.Dzien dobry! I tried (briefly) to learn Polish on line RC and there are loads of free sites and youtube clips. You should check them out. Unfortunately I have never been any good at learning foreign languages (as my French school teacher would probably still confirm) and gave up on Polish as quickly as I started as none of would embed in my brain cell. Their alphabet is strange too as it has the same letters as the English alphabet but also has more with little squiggles, tails , dots and slashes that look similar but aren't. The only Polish word I can remember is Czesc (with two squiggles above it) which I think meant 'hello'. Not much good for me earwigging when shopping that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
