mattydski 560 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I've had good and bad tradesmen form Poland. I think with all nationalities there are good and bad representitives in all walks of life. I have how ever seen a polish joiner put up a Kit frame building with 700mm centres of stud, that was amusing...His boss finding out, as he finished the last partition......He was quick though...

Guest hyperion Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Mac we all know its not difficult to get anywhere illegally is it Problem we have is we accept them when we find them other countries send them back! Frogs help them over the channel because they dont want them! Some countries you cant get into 'legally' without a lot of effort and some financial backing or a job to go to! i had a good laugh at the french coppers running around calais ferry port catching the poles ect once, got chating to one of the customs blokes and he said once they catch ten or so they load them into a van drive them ten kilometers up the road and kick them out!, i pointed to the big hole in the fence and asked whats that then?, "oh thats where they get back in"!

shotup 9 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 you,ve got to take your hat of to the french even if you hate them, they wont stand any shit when i comes to job shortages, french jobs for fench people is what they say, they havent over run thier country with immergrants and fighting them for jobs.my mate has been out of work for 5 months now and walked on to an aldi being built in the town centre only to find all the trades are eastern euro,s working for half of what were working for.he said he would take any job offered for the same pay just to get something back on the table and was told thier would be language trouble as he couldnt speak polish..his dad was a miner and is in his seventies hates thatcher but said even thatch wouldnt have allowed this... countries fooked big time we need an english nationalist party to put us back together...
