Letters to the Editor
Friday 13th January, 2012
Hello Graham,
I enjoy reading your paper very much and I am glad I can make my small contribution. I find your column particularly interesting as you write about local events which frequently turn out not to be less important or less interesting than the global crisis everybody is fed up with. It is the first time I have heard about the Operation Smartass and I wish it had got more publicity nationwide. Polish drivers seem not to differ much from the Greek ones in terms of their driving skills and inevitably the next grade they are going to achieve is that of the Arabic expert drivers.
Very best regards and a Happy Xmas. (Sorry I omitted this part in my first email but I was too tired to notice that yeasterday)

Dear Ed
‘Bring it on’ you declared last week.
Well, I’m here alongside you. Healthcare is a fiasco here. The one time I turned to the Polish system I arrived to hospital, bleeding profusely may I add, to be told no-one could deal with me because there was a strike. As a tax contributor, I’d like something back for my cash. My health for one.

There is a tendency for letters to complain about things not being done correctly in Poland. Having sat and watched with embarrassment as my compatriots turn a bit of snow into something equating to a natural disaster I think it is time to point out just how well run everything is here. Where I live snow ploughs are out, public transport runs normally and people battle the ‘extreme’ weather by using the revolutionary tactics of putting on some warm clothes and a hat. The trains are covered in snow, but at least they are still running pretty much to schedule.
Your readers might find the following amusing. My good friend is a headmaster at a primary school in London. The schools were closed on Wednesday because of the snow but my friend went in anyway. He was met by a bunch of bemused Polish parents and children wondering why everything was locked up. When he informed them it was because of the severe weather he said the look of bemusement on their faces was a picture.
Happy new year and keep up the good work.
