They probably take away all the good jobs, hot women, cheap flats and best parking spaces like all the other unwanted immigrants.

I'm going to be flooded with more resumes for TEFL posistions. "Yeah, I do realize I only served fish and chips on the pier in Brighton for two years but I know I can teach!"

I sincerely hope the person who wrote this goes back home.

No, on second thoughts, I happen to live in Poland, so I'd be far happier if she decided to stay where she is.

It's rather very insulting than untrue.

Like saying, 'if you enjoy displaying your private parts to others, you may be Polish.'

Of course, this may be true of some, but clearly not all.

Obviously the person writing it has a poor sense of irony, particularly where she writes about English people being 'overweight or obese'.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 08.09.09 o godzinie 15:22

Who said this was ironic?
It looks like nearly every colleague of mine ticks the boxes(although they're not benefit busters and did not have not kids in their teens). Would you like to deny?

That most Brits, for example, identify with the late Jane Goody.

I would imagine this is not true.

As I stated earlier, many things are true for some, but not all.

For example, the most apt description of yourself in English would be, 'a thoroughly nasty piece of work', but I personally doubt whether this description would fit the majority of Poles.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 08.09.09 o godzinie 15:38

In this context, "late" means "dead".

I don't think you read with understanding Warren.
She wrote "You may be English if you:" which I think proves that her sense of irony is pretty good to my understanding.

I can guarantee if I were to write something similar about Poles, many would be tearing their hair out and screaming blue murder.

I don't, however, wish to attempt the experiment.

Such articles generally reveal far more about the person making the observations, than the people being described in them.

If you find such observations 'amusing' and 'true', then I feel pity for you.

Personally, I find them about as 'funny' as a five-year-old's funeral.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 08.09.09 o godzinie 23:07

She doesn't understand how to use the word 'ironic' in English either.

She has been warned about making herself appear foolish.

I bet you this is not true. On the other hand with your sense of humour it would be best if you stayed away from this idea.

Where does it say that this is a document about English people?
Majority of points are true Warren, and you know about it.
I find it amusing as I believe that majority (not all) could be diagnosed with true "englishness" based on her silly points.
Perhaps you have not been to your home country recently ;)
