This benign invasion of eager and biddable young Poles has, it is generally agreed, been marvellous for the British economy and anyone who had previously struggled to find a cheap plumber.

I don't want a cheap plumber, I want a good plumber.

I know two local English guys who married Polish girls - more than 5 years ago actually, so its before current wave, they are all very happy with their wifes who I understand are delighted to cook, clean, look after kids and hubby. Can girls from Gles-ga do something like this? I thought so!

Ahh but do the Polish women know how to prepare the world famous Glasgae dishes: deep fried mars bar, deep fried Haggis, deep friend Porridge and deep fried fat. Of course not. They are ignorant of such delicacies.

Well let me give you a tip if you want to work here in the Uk, learn to take a joke and not take yourself too seriously. And before you start your "the UK owes you a living diatribe" you might like to sort our your country's appalling corruption record. It is a privilege for you to be allowed to work/live here (just as it would be for me if I were allowed to work in Romania). So if we dont trust you then it is up to you and your countrymen to earn our trust.

(BTW our caravans are towed by cars coz someone bright invented a thing called a towbar.... and have you ever heard of Jeremy Clarkson? I suggest you leave your caravans behind.)

Agree...but there are jokes and jokes. I know our corruption problem (slightly down in the last years) and I don't try to exaggerate the good things and forget about the problems. But I tend to react like this when I see people stuck with the same old concept about Eastern Europe. Some things change in time, and I personally don't think that the major immigration problems in this country are caused by Eastern Europeans.
And yes I have a problem with the fact that although Romania is a European country, although Romania will join E.U. next year, I still require a visa in order to ENTER, not to work / do business here. And you should see the queue in front of the f(*& embassy in Bucharest. Many of the people there are not bloody fecking immigrants, they just want to visit relatives / see the Big Ben. And in the meantime, you are free to go in Romania whenever you like...
I don't want to start a discussion here, I just want to hear from time to time REAL things about Eastern Europe not the same jokes / old memories from the last century...

Regards...

So lets get to the important stuff. Could count dracula turn into a bat and did he like the blood of virgin girls?

First of all the old jokes are the best ones.. favourites include stereotyping of aussies as convicts, scots as tight, Kiwis as one dimensional, Yanks as rednecks etc etc. We Brits are as much of a laughing stock as anyone-thanks to our socialists.
The reason why you have to queue for a long time to obtain your visa is that we dont trust you enough to accept you because your laws are not up to standard and your officials are corrupt. You are not a member of the EU yet even though your country is already a recipient of funds from the EU.
Anyway I told you that your women are beautiful (unfortunatly chico's boss didnt hand out any looks to the Romanian men).
And it is thanks to the generous spirit of the British that you are allowed to work here at all.. something you wouldnt get from the French who I notice are carrying out most of the infrastructure projects in Romania.

Well you can visit his castle and maybe you'll find the answer...
There are some parties there each year on Halloween day...including vampires and stuff

Romanian women are much prettier than Polish ones. They also use horse drawn caravans to travel around which of course pollutes the environment less than car drivers. I understand that they are particularly good at Risk management as their women can see into the future
