Well done @RoyalMail - took a mere 19 years to deliver this magazine. Inconvenience? Well the kids have now left home ….

@oheathersue @TRobinsonNewEra Looks like they will be

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

@LittleKnownPL Yes and did you know there was also a cinema at Wrocław Główny, which at one time screened porno

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

@The_Davos_Man Brexit voter here: This is honestly money well spent

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

@LittleKnownPL Yes been to both thanks! Also the Biedronka in Głowny is open on Sundays for groceries. They sell very good vegetarian sandwiches at the station too, in one of the little shops below the platforms. I'm aware Polish actor Zbigniew Cybulski tragically died on platform 3.

@adamhaertle Not being handcuffed after being stabbed

@LittleKnownPL Another thing we could all do without.

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

Because the line between these countries has been quite flexible over the years. There's a lot of blending in Silesia for example.

Why do so many Polish nationalists have German names, while German nationalists have Polish (and foreign) names?

Polish nationalists be named like:
- Braun
- Mentzen
- Fritz
- Muller
- Berkowitz
- Schreiber

Meanwhile German nationalists:
- Tomasz
- Sobolewski
- Dworeck-Danielowski
- Halemba
- René
- Khan

@RevivedThoughts You have to clear customs and purchase something

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

@kulervo @MFAestonia I hope they were worth it? Shame that no British-style "banger" sausages were available

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

It's International Children's Day. Still observed in Poland and elsewhere. I have a Soviet badge of it that I must have picked up in the 1980's in Russia.

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

@bobbostark @RaminNasibov Yes this one

[Richard Lewis @29bus]

@uncle_fury And all for nothing
