My local is now a Co-Op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed a shop today that said it was a "Haircut Sklep" from which I infer that 'sklep' is Polish for shop, and in this establishment one obtains a haircut. Therefore, does it not follow, that 'Polski Sklep' is where one can acquire a Polish person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Not sure they sell people. Polish sausage and Vodka is more likely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Eastern European (Polak) by parentage - trust me you don't need anything else... The vodka is to break down the 100% lard the sausage are made from... Trust me, you haven't lined your ribs until you've eaten your fill of Bigos Got to survive those winters somehow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 A Polish chap I worked with said Polish winters are so cold that fence posts explode with the pressure of the frost expanding inside. Brrr..... Enough to freeze your sausage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Not that cold anymore due to climate change. My mother is from East Prussia which is now North east Poland, winter temperatures were down to -30deg. during the war. Mum never says things were better when she was young, just awful.
