ABOUT THE BOOKAre you travelling to Poland, and wish to know more about the Poles you'll encounter? Are you fascinated by this country of forty million, rich in natural beauty, cultured, and famous for its people's wanderlust? Have you ever wondered what makes your Polish plumber or waitress or doctor over here tick? What book do you pick for background and insight? A superficial travel guide? A dry history book?No! You need the genre-busting Polska Dotty. Follow the hilarious exploits of a newly-wed English lad and Polish girl as they settle in Poland and encounter corrupt Polish police, counterfeit software sellers, and scammy private doctors. Observe as Jonathan, under the watchful eye of Marzena, gets to grips with the Polish condition, and finally integrates - completing his rite of passage by learning how to down tumblers of vodka in one mighty gulp.Polska Dotty informs about every aspect of Polish society including its work ethic, family values, and the Polish character itself. This is a funny, heartfelt, sparkling read, a touching portrayal of an Englishman's submersion into Polish life.

ABOUT THE BOOK On 1 May 2004, Poland joined the EU. The UK government at the time predicted this would make for an influx of c13,000 additional immigrants per year. A decade or so on, there are reckoned to be around one million Poles living in the UK. Why did so many Poles come to the UK? And how have they settled here? What impact have they made on our way of life? What do THEY think of OUR way of life? Do they love our carpeted bathrooms and strangely separate hot and cold taps? Do they yet understand why we have to change into our swimwear at the merest hint of sunshine? What do we think of their ubiquitous (and cheap) plumbers, and “Polski Sklep” (Polish shops)? Find out in Polska Dotty 2! In this hilarious follow-up to Polska Dotty, Jonathan and his Polish wife Marzena return to the UK from their two year sojourn in Poland to encounter more Poles: plumbers, builders, handymen, hairdressers, cleaners – and a whole host of others. It’s a rollercoaster ride as they engage Polish plumbers on various work, and eventually a Polish builder to carry out a major extension to their home. All is well which ends well, but not without the joy and pain along the way of multiple leaky pipes, half-in half-out fireplaces, and world-record breaking light switches – all facilitated by a world within a world of Polish suppliers and itinerant workers operating in the UK. Laced with references to the key press coverage on Poles in the UK during the last decade, and with a contribution from Marzena's inimitable All-Girl Polish Book Club – this is an incisive, comical and ultimately myth-busting account of the recent great wave of Poles into the UK.
