Cant think who posted statement about our youngsters not wanting to work but think that there are some that would love nothing else but to sit on their AR^^ES all day and then expect to get money for it by signing on.

I know a young lad who joined up and he loving it now that he passed his Basic Training, he back down south at moment but hoping to come up towards Hull to do his Driver Training after that he thinks he might be off to Germany.

The students from Poland are very pleasent as I have had 2 or 3 as escorts from local Care Homes with one of the Residents. One young lady, think she gone back to Poland now, had been studing to become a Doctor and she was hoping to come back to UK for extra training to use back in Poland.

Good luck to them all.

Simple answer is that Poland is now a member of the EU. Therefore Poles can work anywhere within the EU and don't need a permit.

My new cleaner is a Pole - she is a terrifically hard worker, and you need sunglasses to go into the bathroom when she's finished.

The other reason there are so many Polish students is that all ours are off on gap years, paid for of course by long-suffering parents (who may well be only too glad to pay to get the little b*****s out of the house for that length of time!).

It's just the same as twenty or thirty years ago, when British young people went grape picking in France in the summer. They were prepared to do the jobs local people didn't want to do, in exchange for spending their summers in another country, and soaking up the local culture.

What these Polish visitors have soaked up of our culture in Blackpool, is another story. They probably think we all wear fairies wings or 'Kiss me quick, f**k me slowly' hats.

Appologies for not playing the messenger between Mez and Doug, but I was stood cheering on Stanley on at Alty when I got my instructions.

The place where I work has taken on 40-50 Poles in recent weeks for one reason only they work for less money. My neighbour and a friend both applied for the vancancies after I told them we had some jobs going, only to be told by personnel we where not taking on any new staff at the present time. Now I know the jobs where there and to me this is racism the jobs should be offered to local English workers who want to work and not be a drain on the benefits system, it stinks and this european loophole is the biggest threat to unemployment since the tories wher in government. So please be aware it could be your job next and you could be replaced by one of these "legal imigrants".

For the record the females are very cute but I'd rather have a job.

is this instance that to me is BLATANT racism, but as it happens WE are the race that do NOT count.

just got to get a word in edge ways here, the poles backed us up during the war and have never slagged us off!they flew planes and footslogged,they can come and do what they want as long as they kick the froggy sh-ts out!

...apart from a certain Monsieur Bossu who is welcome to stay, provided he does his stuff at Cambridge this afternoon!

i wasn't "getting" at the polish students who are working over here for the summer, iv'e just never come across such a big influx of them before, thats all, do foregien students pay more for their college/university fees, than our students? & if so you can't blame them for wanting to work here to earn the money to pay their fees. As some of our students have to.

garinda · 20-08-2005, 09:31

The 'girls' at Funny Girls better watch out, or they too will loose out on business to the 'Pole' dancing clubs.

This happens in Jersey as well. All the workers in the hotels and bars arrive on a big ship, and leave at the end of the season.

Perhaps all the Poles came over on a ferry from Gdansk, and were entertained by that German b*tch who once came to the meet at The Stag???

grannyclaret · 20-08-2005, 14:13
