Fair point. The architecture does give them away somewhat

Well Blatters me old fruit, when your only local is run by foodie people who serve steaks on blocks of wood and chips in a tiny fryer cage lined with a kind of sterile plastic version of the Evening Standard, what choice does one have!  

My local is now a Co-Op.

My local is now a Polski Sklep...

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?

Not sure they sell people. Polish sausage and Vodka is more likely...

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...

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!

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.
