poppy2 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Please can anyone tell me how you would go about finding Polish tradespeople? Is there a list somewhere? I have read that Polish tradesmen are very reliable and have been let down several times by various people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handypandy Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Back in the early 70's I knew 3 polish lads who did the working mens clubs and functions, keyboard, guitar and drums. They were great lads but I lost touch with them. Annoyingly I can only remember the drummer was called 'Ziggy'. Anyone know of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Can`t reply in Russian because I am waiting for a converter for my dual keyboard. The way I do it is to compose the text in Word (using the "insert symbol" facility) then copy and paste into the Forum window. But it's a bit laborious if you need to write a lot of Russian text - and my Russian is VERY basic anyway. It is nice occasionally to meet a Russian in Sheffield - I occasionally get to a "Kruzhok" meeting. I made 10 visits to the former USSR in 1975-1990 and have written a few books on Russian philately (see my home page). In my experience the Polish community in Sheffield are a great bunch of people - hard-working, not afraid to let their hair down and full of firm opinions! (especially about Russians...) The Polish Club "Dom Kombatanta" in Ecclesall Road was a favourite watering-hole of mine. I have a Ukrainian uncle, but beng from Lwów he also speaks Polish fluently and is still going strong in his 80s, living in Lincoln. I bought my Wadsley bungalow from the late Josef Sliwa, well-known in the area as "Polish Joe" - a great bloke. Years ago I corresponded with a stamp collector in Poland. I did him a few favours and he gave me a book on the history of Poland - it was delivered personally one Sunday morning by a Polish emigrant living in Dinnington - as Don_Kiddick mentioned there is/was quite a community of Poles in Dinnington, and the "grape vine" system obviously worked well! Great people, the Poles. And the hard-working, skilled Poles that are coming here thanks to membership of the EU are to be welcomed. And those who don't already have skills are willing to learn and adapt to life in a different country - unlike some of our own layabouts who expect the State to give them a living.
