    Tips for Poland

    As it happens, just noticed an email from the boss lady asking me to plan a trip to their Krakow facility in July for a week.

    While it feels like a dream come true, are there any "patrons" who could advise on what not to do when in Poland?

    Yes. Go native.

    Drink Vodka, beat up the wife, then move to England to wash cars & claim benefits.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      All our local car washers are Romanian.

      The Polish are the builders, electricians, plumbers, plasters etc.

            Be sure not to do anything that can be construed as work. You won't be allowed to.

            I bought some of this (cherry):

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soplica_(vodka)

            from the local Polish shop not so long ago. Very nice it was too.
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              back in my days you would get beaten up on the street if you said you support football team X to a supporter Y xD but things changing.
              Careful for woman though , they are damn beautiful and can make you go stupid xD unless thats what you want
              also you can get 1h hooker for 20f that looks like a freaking model (not that i know from experience xD)

                What is a 1h hooker? And how much is 20f? Not that I'm interested of course.

                    Is there room for negotiation?
