It's quite a contract in a row of charity shops. I'll drop by there: the food has to be more interesting than the bland supermarket stuff.White Horse Pilgrimhttp://transylvanianhorseman.typepad.com/whitehorsepilgrim/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-38206278105594104852011-01-03T10:37:04.548+01:002011-01-03T10:37:04.548+01:00Tyskie is a Kompania Piwowarska's product ;)Tyskie is a Kompania Piwowarska's product ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-51058717502095630052010-12-31T17:26:47.113+01:002010-12-31T17:26:47.113+01:00Jamie's got a point...

Polish beer is increasingly popular with UK underage tipplers because a) it's strong, b) it's sweet, c) it's cheap.<br /><br />But generally, hearing the Polish voices in the quantity that one hears, I'd guess that much of the litter is indeed generated by Polish open-air beer consumers.Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-9991064648333080472010-12-31T17:10:20.556+01:002010-12-31T17:10:20.556+01:00Your last sentence summarizes the problem best: di...Your last sentence summarizes the problem best: different generation, different upbringing.<br /><br />It pained me to see all the litter and beer cans in the beautiful forests and parkland surrounding Wawa when I was there.<br /><br />Holota?

Polish beer doesn't really feature in Belgian supermarkets so I'm afraid it's unlikely to be locals taking advantage of low prices.pinolonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473418753213565601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-12163174478724040482010-12-31T13:04:19.077+01:002010-12-31T13:04:19.077+01:00Sad is the decline...

O...Sad is the decline...<br /><br />Currency forecast report<br /><br />On 26 January 2010 I <a href="http://student-sgh.blogspot.com/2010/01/this-must-have-been-turning-point.html" rel="nofollow">predicted</a> EUR/PLN rate today would be 3.88, today's NBP rate was 3.9607. With tolerance of +/- 0.05 PLN I got it wrong (but not missed by a long shot).<br /><br />Out of three attempt to predict EUR/PLN rates, one was totally wrong (31 March 2010), one was right (30 June 2010), one was a near-hit (31 December 2010). <br /><br />Maybe they won't fire me after the probationary period...<br /><br />All the best in the new yearstudent SGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367244307612092688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-35412059463983452712010-12-31T12:57:27.269+01:002010-12-31T12:57:27.269+01:00Of course, Polish beer cans do not necessarily equ...Of course, Polish beer cans do not necessarily equal Polish consumers. When I was last in London Polish beer was becoming popular because it was cheap. I don't know if this is still the case.Island1http://polandian.home.pl/noreply@blogger.com
