    I have come up with an idea for a fast food outlet that sells fried chicken and cabbage, it will be staffed by Polish people, the name will be KFski

    I'm told you boil (various types of) cabbage for 4 days to make it, is it worth the wait?

    All the Polish people I know (Which is quite a few) are all hard working people, they are a good laugh, love living in the UK and are greatful to live and work here. If they could have a similar standard of living in Poland they would prefer to live in Poland. They also take the time to learn to speak the local language which is something UK expats often do not bother doing

    There are plenty of UK ex pats living all over the world, they have often moved abroad because they can earn more or have a better standard of living abroad, is there any difference to the UK expats abroad and the Polish living in the UK?

    Polishbugspender one of my Polish mates has promised to make me a special Bigos at xmas, it sounds very hard work to cook and not very appealing but I'm assured by the other Polish people I know that it is tastes lovely!

    We have Polish neighbours who sadly have gone home due to the lack of work and they were really hardworking nice people.
    .They used to cook some fabulous food. I will miss them.

    Likewise in Spain with horrible British expats.
    Nobody could possibly ever accuse you of being a Brit obsessed one trick pony with a chip on your shoulder of such proportions that it would keep a medium sized third world country in vegetables for a year...... could they? ;)
