? In what way are they rude to you. I have found some particularly obnoxious nurses in hospital but they are a very small minority. Note while visiting patients and as a patient not working in hospital.
Bad manners.

Meh, sorry you feel that way.
My experience, 3 years working among them is so.
Id agree, Poles are generally more polite, however the majority of our workers are Lithuanian. It goes in waves,15 years ago, Poles were the majority of the immigrant workers. Then we had Afghans, various other smaller groups, lately and strongly, Lithuanians, Latvians and smaller groups from Slovenia etc.
Its not stupid however, it is my experience. Thats not my fault, thats what I see, day in, day out for the last 2 or 3 years. Not exclusively, but definitely a very strong trait.
I hoped the tone of my post didnt display a hatred, fustration etc of east europeans, in fact it didnt, simply highlighted what actually happens in the vast majority of times.
How in the world can that be stupid ? Or is to talk in any dispaging way about others not allowed, even if it's true in my observations.

You said they were rude BECAUSE they were Eastern European. That's daft, it would be just as daft if a Pole claimed people were rude BECAUSE they were from western Europe.

They ( and Eastern Europeans in general) regularly say that the British are lazy and all on the dole. Is that also daft? Personally I am going with xenophobic!!
There seems to be a sense of order in all that madness. When in Rome I guess applies in these countries.Does anyone adopt the reverse when they're abroard ?. I do...well I say queue jump, they don't actually queue properly. Egypt for instance, people of many nationalities tended to hang around in a non organised way at the bus stops for instance...as soon as the bus arrived...all would just head straight for the door. So we adopted the same mentality and found we were often the first on.

Oh c'mon, read my original post. At what point did I say they were rude ?...not at ANY point, in words or intimation.
Simply put forward an observation that some dont adhere to what we percieve as polite. Certainly doesn't mean tthey're rude, simply that they dont use the same thought process as 'we' do...generally speaking.
And generally speaking really should be acceptable when, as far as you can remember, in 3 years ONE guy holds open the door and it surprises you, it's that unusual.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Therefore they are rude.
Surely your post is no different from gbb? A sort reverse xenophobia!!

Polish children are reported as being better behaved, to such a degree that they improve behaviour among British kids at schools in the UK.

Damn you had already done the when in Rome bit!
You said or implied they were ignorant in your earlier post. Anyway who reported that, the Polish Express (UK edition!!)
