Hi Yotgoz know what you mean arrived in UK on Monday by Wednesday marooned in Reading with 10inches of snow!!! Just taken my daughters lurchers out, boy did they love it. Brilliant sunshine but no sign of melting. So just watching TV and pigging out on English food.
-
Nonsense, we're now up to -2C from -7C this morning. Glad I brought my shorts back with me now :D
-
Did you honestly think that post could ever stay? If you have a grievance with your estate agent you won't get much sympathy by hijacking a totally unrelated topic and calling your agent a "whore".
Go away.
Scunner
Apologies folks, please return to topic.
Thanks
Scunner
Oh, and you didn't even introduce yourself, too late now :D

I don't know if you know that the UK is part of the European Union and that means that Polish people have every right to be there in the UK.
In fact there are lots of different nationalities including Turkish people living and working in the UK - one of the many things that make it Great Britain.
We all live in One World and are all citizens not just of our country of birth but of the world, with rights and responsibilities to ourselves and each other wherever we are.
-
Ytokgoz - where abouts are you in UK ? We live in Cambridgeshire and we have a very large number of polish residents in this part of the UK. Which is great, because we can now find all sorts of lovely polish food in the supermarkets !

If you are unhappy with that situation you had better hope Turkey are never in the EU as you will be swamped by most of the UK aswell as other European countries, then at least there will be enough room for the Poles in the UK.

Don't knock the UK, we are privileged to have freedom of movement, in and out of our country.
Don't knock the NHS until you have not had it to hand for a number of years, its free, even to foreigners.
Don't knock that you are not enjoying where you are, there are some places in the UK and Turkey that I would not like.
We have just been out for a brisk walk in the crisp snow, deathly under foot but loved it.
Loads of Polish in the UK, and you not sure whether or not you are in UK or Poland.
Loads of Brits in Turkey, and the tell tale sign that you are not in the UK is the weather.
Brits moan about the council tax in the UK.
Brits are still moaning about the Road tax in Turkey.
Brits moan about the road conditions, Turkey and ~UK
Brits moan about the cost of Electric
Brits moan regarding the maintainance companies
Brits moan about the build workmanship
Brits moan about the local council
Brits moan about the cost of drink
moan moan moan no wonder the Aussies call us "Whinging Poms"

Dear Nichola;
"answer: this is your country, you can do whatever you can do with it, but if it ws my country i would deinitly stop lots of people including turkish not to come to my country but taking the jobs of what british people could do so your children would have jobs, stop using social services so your children can beneift them better, am i wrong? i am not racist but if it was my country i would definatly stand up for it because if i am paying taxes for it i would like the use the benefits of it not a sileem seeker or illegal immigrant coming and using all the services that i have paid for in case i would need it someday..i assume you are either polish or greatest fun of labour party in uk..."
to pookie"i am in chelmsford but i go london for business lots. the other day we went to a italian restaurant and including the waiters to cooks everybody was polish except the menu..."
to gorgeous bird" i hope we never get in to eu cause there is nothign good in it for us as we dont like to be told how our babanas should be ,controlled by brussels which has no knowledge of our own culture and rules...and you already have enough polish , indian and pakis in your country so you would not want turkish coming there too..other wise your little island would sink..
come on falks is it only me thinking like this?is all of you happy with where britain is going to?
-
I certainly do not want anyone interfering with MY babanas!!!:D
-
what is interfering with MY babanas?ı dont know that sayıng
-
I,m sorry. and before anyone jumps up and down, this is my opinion and I am entitled to it, but our turkish has raised quite a few valid points.Bee

Just having a joke with you. :)Britain was invaded by the Romans (Italians)Normans(French)Vikings(Scandanavians)years ago. We had the Windrush ship bringing Jamaicans over after the war and greeted thousands of Commonwealth immigrants. We have now thousands of people from Poland and eastern Europe. Many Turkish people already live in Britain, the owner of the Artemesia in Ovacik was one of my neighbours there. His son is now becoming a doctor. If you go to Haringay in London it is a thriving Turkish community.
What do you suggest we do if this is not to our liking. We ARE part of the EU.If a lot of us Brits go back into our past we are a mixture of a lot of races. :)
-
I love my country warts and all, ok so it is not perfect - but where is. I am very happy here. I can think of places where I would not want to live and the UK is not on the list.
-
i am not saying anything bad about your country at all. i just wrote what i did not like like you write about turkey, like price of beer, hassling of waiters at the restaurant doors, local council and i agree with you all.many people have been writing many things about turkey and never become a problem so is this it that someone wrote something about uk and you all became nationalists?
-
Ytokgoz,you have just put into words what the silent majority thinks,well said.
-
thank you ronzeus, finally ı got some back up.and i believe there must be others who agree with me.
-
and i am sure if we had more Turkish people on the forum they would defend Turkey
-
What an absolute load of old rubbish. The Poles in the UK are allowed under EU law to travel to and work, quite freely in the UK, for which they pay UK taxes and NI. They are not taking something for which they have not paid (benefits, healthcare etc) and are not taking jobs away from those UK residents. A lot of those on the dole do not WANT the types of jobs that the Poles and other legitimate non-UK take up, and would rather sit on their backsides taking money from the state, than work these type of jobs (who then is sponging from whom). Also the NHS could not function without foreign workers. Many such as Poles, Pakistani and Indians, are superbly qualified as doctors, surgeons, and consultants, and treat all UK and EU residents for free, from the NHS, at point of contact. If someone comes to your country, is prepared to work, and work hard, pay taxes etc, what is the problem? Not many so called Brits, can trace their roots back to confirm only true British heritage. Most of our forefathers were exactly like the Poles of today, namely economical migrants. And Ytokgoz if Turkey ever join the EU, the SAME regulations will apply to your country!!
-
Daffodil and Woodies; wish I could have put it so well myself.
I believe that we should do to others as you would have done to yourself.
I don't want to see people die because they can't afford health care, I don't want to see people living in poverty because there isn't a welfare state, I don't want to watch people in other countries dying from war and famine or being raped and tortured and turn my back.
There are many people of different races and nationalities that live and work legally in the UK because they have that right coming from member states of the Commonwealth of Nations (all but two are from the British Empire!) or they are from countries in the European Union.
Regardless of your nationality if you work in the UK you pay taxes and taxes are what pay for Health and Social Services which ALL that live there can benefit from when they need to.
Incidentally, less than 3% of the world's population lives outside their country of origin. World population 6,794,800,000
-
Very rude comment Woodies saying what a load of rubbish to someone who has a different view to you,i am personally too polite to tell you what a load of crap you have posted.:-\
-
OOPS.
-
ronzeus, please enlighten me as to what in my post is crap.
-
Freedom of speech and debate is such a wonderful thing to be allowed. In fact in Britain it is one of our favourite pastimes!!That is one of the reasons so many foreigners want to go there.
-
Different places offer different things to different people. I can clearly see why people want to come to the UK, but I can also clearly see why people want to move to places like Turkey. Both have their positives, and it is a personal choice. Nobodies views are normally "absolute rubbish" and that is the case here too.
-
Personally I have no issue whatsoever in someone coming to the UK to work and add value to our great country. Of course they should have a job sorted before they arrive as I understand most Polish etc. do. If we are short of skills such as Doctors then we should invite whatever nationality to take up that place.
I do take exception however to those immigrants who arrive in the UK simply to avail themselves of our wealthfare system and NHS for which they have not (nor intend) to make a contribution to. Our immigration system appears weak in this respect.
That's it, I'm off the soap box and off to the pub. Good evening all!!
-
Woodies ,I was making the point of your rude comment,so i was showing you how it must feel to have your post rubished.
-
There is no Eutopia!! Racism is such utter ****e though, we are all human beings. I think Ytokgoz has been listening to too many moaning English folk!
-
Well said Woodies and Nichola, once again we have someone claiming they know what the silent majority think, I guess they need that belief to support there invalid argument.
Ytokgoz you been listening to two many little Englanders, you ought to get out more.
-
well well well,
what alot of things(rubbish,crab) people had to say.....you are talking about foreigners coming to your country with no problem , but you are very insulted that a foreigner is making a comment about your cold weather and seeing polish people around all the time.if you read the other two lines which i also stated the good parts of ur country about xmas and fish and chips wrapped in newspaper and kfc...but no comments about it.
so next time a tourist comes to my restaurant and tells me this country is hot and beer is expensive(3 lira last summer) i will tell him he is talking rubbish ....
as i said earlier this is your own country and you can do whatever you want with it.but when i talk to some sensible people who are british and peopleyou can discuss things with, because they have their own brains not brain washed by others they say ;they are not happy with the government policies and feel like minority is controlling the majority of people which i can see and agree with them.i read the newspapers and new goverment policies which british citizens are not always happy with. ı rarely discuss things like politics but still better than beer price in x pub is cheaper than y pub discussions.(no offens to whom likes his beer all the time)
anyway it is forecasting some more snow in essex tonight so it will be a cold weekend for me unfortunetly as ı am going to shooting this weekend i ipswich.
finally this is a forum.from wikipedia "An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site."
so we discuss things here. we dont say rubbish things to other peoples ideas. so mind you manners lady.
regards
yusuf
-
Yusuf, the next time someone comes to your restaurant in Turkey and says it is too hot in your Country and the beer is too expensive I think it would be quite right to say that they are talking rubbish! These are the same English people that moan about everything when they are at home as well, so don't listen to them when you are in Turkey or in England is my advice!
-
I for one didnt vote to join the E U ,did anyone else?
-
"this is your own country and you can do whatever you want with it"
Thanks for that, how magnanimous of you.
So, seeing Polish people in England is a bad thing is it, how long will it be before you regard seeing English people in Turkey as a bad thing I wonder.
May I suggest that it is you that has been brainwashed or are you just listening to people that support your own narrow minded view,
the latter I expect. England is so much more than cold weather, fish and chips and polish immigrants, go and look at it with an open mind
you might just learn something.
-
Sorry but i agree with yusuf... I dont think he has said anything offensive about England- The weather is dire, you only need to look out of your windows to see that, and there are far too many poles over here.
I think the country has spiraled into one that puts political correctness before its people.. I'm not a racist and i dont care for those who are- i think its vile. However, we live in ENGLAND, ENGLISH people (regardless of race, gender etc) should be given priority especially where jobs are concerned. Many people are out there looking for work who have lost jobs and would be grateful for ANY job but we just dont have enough to go around. If we have a shortage in the system and it would be beneficial to draft in foreign workers then i believe they should be given jobs, taxed and allowed use of our free health care etc- but not before our own.
There are many english folk who sit on the dole, who can work but dont and choose to sponge off our system- In my opinion, they should be limited to how long they can claim benefits for- if the government doesnt pay them- they'd be forced to work. I think those who arnt working because they cant be bothered and arnt contributing to our system shouldnt be entitled to free medical care either. There are people out there who cant have the medication they need for serious illnesses from our "free health care system" because we cant afford it- why should they suffer so the doley who's sat on his backside for god knows how long can trot off down the docs and get free medicine whenever?
I could rant on this topic all night, but i wont bore you all any longer..
All that was said in the original post was how bad the weather is (which it is) and how there are alot of polish here (which there are)... how did it become such a political debate? Some people are being far too defensive of our lovely country, which is in a dismal state, to put it mildly and the petty name calling is just childish.
We're all entitled to our opinions, we dont all have to agree with one another, just respect each others views and play nicely :D

YtokgozI am glad that you are able to comment on this forum it is interesting to hear a Turkish persons opinions.
As I have said earlier, many Turkish people are already employed in Britain and own their own businesses too.I am sure if you search around Chelmsford and Ipswich you will find some.I know the area well. They certainly appear to be happy in Britain and funnily enough say it is too hot in Turkey when I have had a chat with some. They may have been joking though.There are some beautiful villages in Suffolk and if you are interested in art the artist John Constable painted many landscapes in that area.
Would you employ a European person in your restaurant if Turkey enters the EU? Would people be allowed to start up a business as the Turkish do in Britain?
-
Unfortunately there are many expats and tourists who come to Turkey and say exactly the same as Yusuf has said about the UK, so I don't think we can blame him for what he has written. Yes there are many great things about the UK, there are also many bad things...I'm pretty sure the same could be said about any country in the world.
-
Nicely put Laurie,we all have opions on this subject ,it is just a pity that if you disagree with the certain more liberal members you are branded a bigot .Yusaf expressed his opinion as a visitor to our country as he sees it .

Thank god for fish and chips, kfc and christmas thats what puts the great in Great Britain:D

Hey just come in and found this topic!
I have never been a racist and didn't vote to go in the EU all those years ago!
What I object to are the people who come into the the UK specifically to sponge..... don't know why on this thread people are picking on the Poles. Do people realise thaat anyone who is entitled to work in the UK on minimum wage are then allowed to claim Child benefit, family credit etc.
Myself and Hubby both work full time, had 2 kids and were not eligible to claim anything - not even rate rebate but they can come in and take the best houses, when there are no houses big enough they can go private and live in luxury at the tax payers extent.
They are then offered thousands of pounds to go home which most of them take and then come back again a few months later to start the whole process again!
There was a good item on BBC news earlier where Eastern Europeans were being paid to go through an arranged marriage with Pakistani/Indian people so that they could then apply to stay here, divorce the wife and then bring their own families over here to sponge even more......
How long can the British taxpayer keep doing this? We have enough paying for the young people here who cannot get apprenticeships, work etc (Not including the ones who don't want to work)
Think I have ranted enough going to find solace somewhere in the snow!

I shall move this to the nothing to do with Turkey section, where you can discuss it forever.
-
oh there are many other things in britain than kfc and fish and chips but can not remember now :)))
to MÄ°KE A;
May I suggest that it is you that has been brainwashed ?answer is NO you may not suggest it.... neither you can call me narrow minded which i will return all those words to you. where they belong.ı wonder which planet you live in as you can not see the things clearly and can not forecast...but as you said i am magnanimous and will forgive you for not seeing things clearly.i wish you a happy 2010 and end the conversation.fullstop. and if you would like to continue using insulting words i and my cousins will have a great pleasure to visit you personally next time you visit turkey.
-
Quite right Ron and a good post from x billiegh.
Free speech isn't that what it is all about ?
Do the members who think Britain is still great and does not need a radical overhaul agree for instance with the hate cleric who is alleged to be on over £25000 a year in handouts despite being university educated and fit to work,but creams in benefits while living in a £350000 house
paid for by the state.
I for one think Ytokgoz's post was interesting and in a short time here he has seen some of the problems this country is now facing.
-
"i and my cousins will have a great pleasure to visit you personally next time you visit turkey."
Oh dear.
How mature.:(

such a comment has no place on here sir and you should apologise for making it.

Yusuf clearly sees that his integrity and character is being attacked and has reacted in the wrong way. There is no place on CBF for threats, I have told him privately and he agrees it was wrong to say it. Apology forthcoming and accepted, please keep it clean, no biting, no punching below the belt, seconds out...
-
Can't believe after the good comments made by ytokgoz he came out with that!
-
That being the case lets first of all graciously accept Yusuf's apology.
-
Yusuf, I suggest you read MikeA Blogg site, it is very interesting detailing his travels spanning 40YEARS to Turkey. You could be enlightened.

Ytokgoz, with respect
Firstly I think that alot of the problem here is in "translation". When I read your posts I took them to be "light-hearted" ("funny")
I think that's very difficult in a foreign language (I hope that is the case).
The greatness of our country is that we allow people to come here and openly criticise it. But don't expect, for a one minute, us not to defend our wonderful country to the absolute hilt.
I hope this doesn't sound rude, but I do not need you or anyone else to critise my country for my to be a nationalist, because I know that my country is the finest in the world, bar none.

was it formal enough?

Good man Yusuf
Magnificant translation Scunner - well done to you :)
-
either it is lost in translation yet again or you have just ruined an apology, this is the type of reply I would expect from my husband!
-
it is a joke loz, nothing to take it serious of course if mike would like to we can alwaya have a raki together if he likes to drink with me.
-
It's an apology, in formal terms. I didn't translate anything, it's meant as a formal version of an apology. Can we move on now..?
-
My apologies to you both.
Yes, we can move on.

Yusuf
If I had to pick just one thing we love about your country, it would probably be the people.
If you had to pick one thing about our country, what would it be.
PS I don't like raki at all:(

Enjoy your holiday in the UK, Yusuf, and best wishes with the new baby. I'm sure you'll find lots of things to love about our country - the weather, especially at this time of the year, is always a good (or bad) discussion point! :o
Like all countries, there are good and bad things about the UK, as I'm sure you've already found out! :D

I thought it said "Take care" - sorry for trying to be a smart-ass.

'kendine iyi bak ' is what you want H

"Dikkat" is the word on the bright yellow stickers with electric shocks on, generally found around electricity boxes. This is because "dikkat" means "warning". I suppose if you think about it, when dealing with people getting electrocuted, a sticker saying "take care" would be nicer than "warning". :D

Tell you what, after reading the last 8 pages, my eyes and brain can take no more!
The only thing I want now after reading this is a bag of fish and chips, a pint of efes or a mojito and some hot weather.
