It's not that bad BM lol my ex partner is polish yep she's more catholic than me I'm more agnostic, get a polish girl who lives and works in England and you won't go wrong lol. But be aware they drink like mad work hard and play hard the Eastern Europeans especially the pols. We are very lazy people compared. It's one of the reasons we don't live together because I'm laid back well I'm British, plus she wants too get married because we share a child but marriage not for me not at the moment lol.

The poles have been stifled for too long and if they could forget the last century
and stop passing to their children a continuing stupidity like every other dumb
culture they may have a chance in the next.

It's why they like it here happy diver it's a more easy laid back life in Poland it's just constant work you never sit down always something to do like chop wood hunt especially in the rural area's and don't forget it's cold and dark grey it's very depressing in the winter it's just bleak snow and freezing temperatures. It's why they like a drink even some of their lager's knock you for 6 lol. Life in Britain is very chilled out compared. My ex didn't grow up with a TV etc just a radio. The cold is like cold youre lungs feel like they are going too burst. 10 x worse than the cold we have in blighty. You don't have the variety of food either that you have in Britain we just about have everything and everything all the different cultures who have settled here. Although nothing beats traditional British food like a nice cottage pie or a roast dinner.

Let's make happy divers mouth water lol

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kcp4chfFJw full English breakfast nice but only advisable too eat if youre a athlete or a builder who is going too burn off all the calories, for us mere mortals once a week treat lol, you can eat it everyday if you want clogged artery's or a heart attack lol.

Visited Gatos yesterday and we checked the rear brakes. AlexV40 joined us later on too! The drivers side caliper piston was sticking, not seized but was definitely more difficult to wind in and out. After a few times doing this it freed up and was working again - sticky rubber surround and dirt build up freed off. The brakes are much sharper now and the peddle travel is where its expected to be with no solidness anymore.

Great Thanks to Gatos and AlexV40 for his help. We also did some brake bleeding on his V40

AND we had some great BBQ food afterwards
