You needn’t worry. If you are eastern european you can always ring your depot in the UK as the eastern european planner or telephonist will find out for you.

Hey, this is the EU. Soon there will have to be signs in at least 3 languages in each country. I heard on the radio today that Polish is the 2nd most spoken language in the UK today. I know a lot of English people who speak Spanish or French. So what does that tell you ?
Does anyone know how much of an insurance premium an eastern european company would be paying for insurance to drive in this country. From what I’ve heard on hear say, the insurance cost in them countries is very cheap, surely there must be some insurance companies who collapse when they get a bill for damaging a house here ?

That genuinely shocked me I thought Urdu would be more widely spoken than polish.

I was thinking about that, but the program said Polish was the second most prevalent ‘first language’, so I’m guessing it’s because Gujurat, Urdu etc. speakers are now more often than not second or third generation so, generally speaking having gone through UK schools, it would be classed as their second language even if they do speak it more in the street and at home.
