    And really who can blame them? a hell of a lot of English I know would leave the UK tomorrow if not for the economics
    Growth in Poland for next 2 - 3 years = 7% p.a.
    Growth in the UK for nect 2-3 years = max of 3% pa.
    I predict there'll soon be an influx of us getting contracts in Poland.

    I can't see families once settled and integrated into society here going back.
