Hehe, good stuff! Let's open a diner - Swans 'R Us - All-Polish Food U Like Drive Tru. We should offer pierogis, bigos, charred swans and all waitresses will have yellow teeth. So, shall we?

I don't imagine British people generally believe Polish women have yellow teeth or that Poles eat swans.

I doubt that even a significant minority have this opinion.

I am merely acting as pani Ola's messenger here.

Hehe, well, just imagine - Bicycle Repair Man vs. Charred Swans. We could also throw in some psychedelic live swans like the ones Alice in Wonderland played with. Plus Teletubbies music background and subliminal message "eat fries, eat fries". How's about that? :)

Marcin, I think the swans Alice played with were flamingoes.

There are no flamingoes in Mazury - do you already want to get rid of me... Even the slightest prospect of making big money makes people bad... Do you know anybody from 'flamingo' country/ies?

Neither have I, but have no choice but to take up the gauntlet.

My opinion of the English has nothing to do with all the stereotypes as it is based on my personal experience and it's VEEERY positive. The ones I know are surprisingly very warm, friendly, helpful, intelligent, extremely practical and with a good sense of humour. Good organisers and reliable friends. They do drink tea with milk. Their skin looks OK to me and their teeth are within the norm.
Obviously , I am aware that there must also be some bad and stupid English people in your country - I am not that naive.

What about Poles then?????

Jews and Scots are mean.

The Irish are 'thick'.

Scandinavians are boring.

Germans are Nazis.

Italians are cowards.

And so on.

I can think of a few (negative) things.

Poles are anti-Semitic.

Poles are homophobic.

Poles are racist. (to non-white minorities in Britain).

Some Poles definitely are, however, most are not.

I was talking about stereotypes. (How Poles are perceived (by some) in the U.K.).

These are not necessarily my own personal opinions.
