?do polish people not mind british workin' search
not sure what that was. class' no, we don’t. we definitely mind people who are nasty to us, and that’s mostly poor middle class. if that was British working in Poland, then they usually work in language schools. We certainly don’t mind that. if that was British working culture, then some aspects of it are lovely, some are choking. For example ten o’clock coffee break is cool, but the fact that breaks are counted to the minute like we were slaves, is not so cool.

I thought I knew of most of the bloggers here, at least those in Brussels, but boy was I missing out. With the high expat turnover rate, especially in the capital, there always seems to...

Racist abuse against the British on St. Patrick's Day
This is what racism looks like. This is a message an Irish American, Mare Mayer, sent to me after I remarked on a hate link against the British which she posted on Facebook. I’m actually part Irish and my remark about stop hating the British for the potato famine of 200 years ago was meant to stop this stupid racist hatred. Instead I’m sent a hate email. I don’t like to generalize. In fact I find it hard to do because I have traveled the world and lived in many countries but...

But more importantly, I use her blog constantly to get excellent information about Italy. She keeps a list of all the extant blogs written about the country,...
