Is there anyway to put a stop to this?

It's an embarassment.

Unfortunately all us native speakers get lumped up with these blokes.

I can remember a group of them walking around the rynek asking where they could find some hookers.

Easy, you find a bunch of Polish hools and tell them there's a bunch of Pedophiles walking around looking for young Polish boys, and BAM... end of Louts Wink

I just talked to some of my friends there and it sounds like it's already like that.

They went out on Saturday night and the place was full of drunken British men, some of them were even throwing up in the corner.

As of now it seems Poles welcome the diversity, but I'm sure the honeymoon phase will pass.

The moral of the story, avoid the Rynek at all costs and don't tell anyone you're British Wink. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Good times.

unfortunately it's the same in Wrocław. I haven't been able to walk through the Rynek for the last 2 weeks without hearing English. I take consolation inthe fact that in a week they'll be back in their narrow-minded little Northern British Hackett-wearing larger-drinking world. And I'll still be living on the Rynek.

Yeah, welcome to the downside of Ryan Air. Poznan, it seems, hasn't yet been invaded by these folks. Sorry fellas, but if you thought you could jet on over to Central Europe and get laid for a weekend, you forgot that Polish girls actually have class.

Short of minor terrorism, I don't think there's anything to be done. A few kidnapped stag party guests, the odd fatal brawl and the stag trade could dry up...........................

Overall, the site's idea is quite funky. A tad Leningrad Cowboys-ish, which I love... but that Stag part, ergh. I guess it's the best way to make money... and there are still a few Polish women who will pander to that trade. They have to make a living somehow.

Reminds me of why I don't go to Bali... too many Aussie yobbos....

Yes, considering what's going on in Krak, Torun was a good choice.

Can I just make a few a points to the above if I may.

Northern men do not wear Hackett, and never would.
You wear Hackett and you're a southerner and that is
that.

Most northern men will still jo for a jolly boys weekend
to Amsterdam, Dublin or Blackpool. I would bet any money
to a pound of mud that the majority of dickheads in Rynek
are from the London area

Oh and most racist football fans in the premier league still reside
in London.

Xenophobic, mindless, violent halfwits reside in all parts
of our wonderful and esteemed country. Not just the north.

Exactly. Prague, Krak�w, even Warsaw. When you see the stag groups lurching down the street, you know where they're from even before you hear their grating and abrasive southern whine.

What's worse, with the prices of their houses down there being inflationary, and a frankly lazy southerner often owning something worth hundreds of thousands they've started to buy flats (southerners call them 'propertee') here in Poland, to rent out. One new apartment building near me was 60% sold to British. And I bet to southern wide boys. It's largely the same in Spain.

We should never forget that the kind of accidental and undeserved wealth in the south, that allows them to buy hackett and burberry, and to live in the kind of place that has houses for miles on end but no pits or factories, was made by Northern labour. Nor should we forget that the economic problems in the North were, in large part, caused by southern 'floating voters' who thought 'Mrs T' was sweet.

Maybe time for a separatist movement , and let the buggers turn the south into one big Essex, with cheap flights to wherever they want to spoil next, and let the rest of us get on with it.
