    Hi everyone just joined was on a different forum but it was run by a dictator He kept deleting your post for silly reasons ie "I ask what was the crime rate was in Poland because I was thinking of going there " .That was taken of the forum. What is wrong with that ? I have told this is a more friendly forum so Hi to you all;)

    Welcome in , some would say we are friendly most likely is that we've lost the plot.
    Just be wary of littleade and Gloria :)
    As to the crime rate in Poland no idea but I'm sure there will be a few suggestions made about that.

    Hi Chris

    It takes all sorts, and no doubt they're all represented here too. But we try to avoid politics - not always successfully!

    Welcome and look forward to hearing about you and your special one.

    Welcome to the forum Chris.
    Good banter on here that's for sure.
    As for Poland, I have only ever been to Cracow which is a beautiful city and as with all cities there were undesireables roaming about, the heavily armed police seemed to have them in check though.
    More remote areas ? just keep your wits about you and avoid any known 'bad spots'
    There are some forum members due to tour Poland this year so I am sure they will give you some great tips and feedback.

    Hi and welcome.

    Ask Winglad about Poland, his lot had no trouble on their tour, but that was a few years ago!!! ;):D

    Hi Chris, yes Winglad is your man for the gen on Poland. His mates generally take that route on the way to Russia.

    As for friendly, did Admin let you know newbies always buy the first round?

    You're on the same wavelength as Winglad, who I'm sure will be along soon enough. His fellow countrymen always took their Tigers round Europe.

    Hi Chris and welcome!

    I did not realize, that I already achieved such a good reputation regarding my travelling expertise...
    So Poland, eh?
    No problem at all mate: I asked my dad. He checked it out a couple years back. Said the Tiger should just do fine...

    My dad was still in shorts though. He only got to play the drum:

    IMG_0504.JPG

    Nevertheless, they all had a good time.
    He said the only crimes, he knows about are war-crimes and there were only German and Russian perps.
    So you should not worry. The Polish are very nice folks.

    And don't forget: Just as in England; don't mention the war...:eek:

    (the only serious part of this message being: "Hi Chris and welcome!")

    :);)

    P.S.: See, I am still on the forum... :D
