Is it the one in Cliftonville? There are quite a few long time residents from Eastern Europe who live in that area who almost certainly will have applied for settled status. I would guess that the established shops will stick around, maybe a few drop off but no expansion. Whether the next generation continue to shop there or migrate to the likes of McDonald's and Tesco is anybody's guess. I would think that there would be a more permanent presence than the last European influx, when those from countries like Poland and Czechoslovakia had decided that returning to a Soviet welcome wasn't something to look forward to having served and fought for the UK. The biggest loser near me is the local boot fair, they used to arrive in buses.
Yes, that’s the one. I’d say it’s the size of a Tesco Metro, and even has its own butcher and bakery.
No doubt many are permanent settlers here who want to stay here, but I imagine there will be less of the more temporary workers here to use these shops, as well as a reduction in those coming to live here permanently.
How ironic that we've just got the Crown symbol back on pint glasses, which according to the Express will make our beer taste nicer.
When I first saw that, I genuinely thought it was a parody article. I do wonder if many employees of the Express just work there for a laugh.
Firstly, pint glasses have always said ‘pint’ on them, and was being part of the EU really stopping us from putting a crown on the glass?
No doubt the Express will be celebrating if there is a reduction of foreign beers on tap! The UK is great at ale and craft beer, but I like to have German lagers too. Thankfully though Brexit doesn’t seem to have affected this so far.
Some of the pilots of the Polish Air Force based in Britain performed notable heroics when taking on the Luftwaffe in the Second World War.
Indeed. A fact not talked about enough I think. If ever I hear anti-Polish sentiment amongst friends or family, I tend to tell them about this.
Out of the many Polish squadrons there were, the 303 Squadron alone shot down 126 planes during the Battle of Britain, for example.
