STRIKE!

This is Robert France and Khrystene Dalecki - two Native English teachers working at UMK - the University of Nicholas Copernicus here in Toruń. Yesterday, together with fellow teacher Thomas Anderson they were on strike! Reason being because for some reason, Native English teachers at UMK were not given the same fair contract as Polish employees. Hence there was some fireworks!

The story was big news here in Poland and even made national papers and TV stations. Here the pair are being interviewed on local TV (note their red arm bands!).

You can read about the situation from Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza (albeit in Polish):

FIRE STARTER!

Following on from our successful post yesterday which attracted numerous comments from around the world...we have followed suit again with a similar 'native speakers enjoying a Polish pub' pic!! This time it is English lecturer Bob France and yours truly...captured early morning in some local Polish pub!

Apologies for the blurred image but that was how we were feeling!!! lol!!

And really why was Bob's hair on fire?!!!!
