Today, as in the past, Poland is at a crossroads for invading forces, being situated on the Central European Plain, invading forces devastated and colonised its people over many centuries. Now it is a quite a different invasion that is taking place, with the laying down of smooth autostrada, which in many cases have replaced mud roads, modern trucks have replaced the formerly ubiquitous horse and cart. Roads are jammed with new trucks carrying goods in all directions, even outnumbering cars on these new routes.
The people of Poland are well-educated and hard working, which any gang master can attest to, they do not have the social problems that England has, often as a result of numerous immigrants and the loss of traditional working class jobs. Poland is strongly nationalistic, as well as having only one, well-established religion, the false teeth breaking language, which is full of unpronounceable consonants, must also deter.
Another visual observation to that of my beloved country, is that women i have seen, mainly in Warsaw, spring along lightly, with poise, elegance and confidence, as if their natural place is on the catwalk, slim as greyhounds, this all adds to their attractiveness, which is in stark contrast to so many of the obese, who can be seen shuffling along on our streets. (Present lady readers excluded, naturally). This happens despite a generally appalling diet of numerous dried sausages, and salami types of meat, with veggies cooked to a pulp, and plates heaped up with ladles of mashed potatoes: none of your five fruit and veg a day. Probably they do not eat much of it.
I maintain that Poland is destined to become very successful within Europe.

Hmmm. Sounds like the Russian ladies I remember so fondly! As for the food... Russian food was never a positive talking point either. Have you made it to Moskva?
