yeah, I agree. I just wanted to point on the general tendency. Vietnamese come to Ukraine, Ukrainians come to Poland and Poles go to the UK, Germany. When you go abroad to work, you usually don't expect to be a manager or smth, you just hope that the currency relation will allow you to save some money. The popular trend of going to GB to earn a living has changed, mostly bcoz Polish zloty grew a bit stronger in relation to pound.
And I'm not saying that Poles were getting the worst kind of jobs there, I was just saying that, in most cases(except for "labor camps") they deliberately agreed to take such jobs.

No problem...I was treated with equal kindness when I lived and worked in Holland.
