Why are the police holding a Community Action Meeting for Polish people??? How bizarre. Why not have meetings for all the Scots in the town, and the Welsh, oh and maybe people who have moved here from Liverpool could have their own meeting too!! What an odd thing to do.
Does seem a bit strange but in answer to your comment the Scots, Welsh and Liverpudlians can all speak English so maybe this CAM is a special one with a Polish Speaking Officer or translator 🙂 Must be a bit hard to live in a country and get your concerns accross if you are struggling with the language barrier 😉
I quite agree with Diz, I now live in Spain and it is difficult putting your point of view across when you either have no command or very little command of the language, and you also sometimes misinterpret what the locals are saying to you. Believe me the older you get the more difficult it is.
