Snow Watch ....

OK I know I'm cheating as I'm now living in Poland but it's snowing here.

Good win today, we need to string some positive results together.

Now where's that snowman smiley?

May I ask how come you live in Poland?
Also, what's it like living there?

Why?: A combination of Brexit & Customer insistence (BMW, Audi, Mercedes), their contracts stipulate that their products must be made within the EU. As a result the UK facility is being run down, ultimately with the transfer of around 400 jobs plus the hundreds in the supply chain to Poland. I've spent the last 18 months project managing the construction of a new factory and will spend the next two years overseeing the start-up.

What's it like?: Same as any other European country really. The people are great, Catholicism still has a major influence. The language (pronunciation) is tough, the weather's a bit more extreme. Eating out / hotels etc. same cost as UK but supermarket prices are ridiculously low, I've just done my "big" shop for the week, total £24.

Thanks for the reply.
I work with a few Polish lads who've asked me to to fly back with them when they have their yearly break.
I've done quite a few countries in Europe but never Poland. Will have to put it on my list :thumbup:
