    There was an item on the BBC radio news just now regarding criticism
    of Cheshire Police. They have apparently been erecting road works
    signs along the Cheshire-Shropshire border in two languages: English
    and Polish, of all things.

    I'm dumbstruck.

    The signs will soon be 100ft high to encompass all the usual languages. We
    have a site signs here in English and Hungarian! there are no Irish or
    Polish construction guys left on site.

    In
    In NE Wales now we have a growing eastern european community, most of which
    are Polish, so I guess it's a reaction to that.

    There's a massive Polish workforce in NI. There's Polish on the BT
    phone boxes here. (signs, not Graffiti ;)
