Housing market in Warsaw

The housing market in Warsaw is booming with prices increasing by around one percent per month. However this could mean in time that no-one is going to want to live in socialist era housing.

My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/events/ and http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/agenda/ give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).

My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.

I have also a second blog on the site http://www.navigeo.net/blog/alan-heath-blog . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.

Interesting. I remember reading about a garish, "evacuated" stained high rise block of council flats in Liverpool in the early 80s on sale for £10 but no one wanted to buy it. Now i guess the land alone would end up in a posh auction house lablled "estate". The terrible thing is UK was not communist so no excuse, (or was Liverpool? is?).

[alanheath]

@McG4evah Polish pilots made a significant proportion of those during the Battle of Britain but not 25%. You earlier claimed that Britain did nothing now you admit that there was a Battle of Britain - which the UK would not have had if it had not declared war on Germany in support of Poland.

[McG4evah]

@alanheath They did declare war, together with France - and they were fighting with flyers dropped from planes, trying to convince Germans to stop fighting :D Thanks for such help :D Your little historical knowledge is just SHOCKING. Once again, I'm proposing a meeting. Do you know where McDonald's under the Central Station is? If you're willing to have a historical talk, just let me know and I'll be there.

[alanheath]

@McG4evah In your opinion why did UK declare war on Germany on 3 September 1939 (assuming of course that you accept that this happened)?

As for all those Catholics who were active in handing over Jews to the Nazis would you say that they were collaborating or not collaborating? Would you say that the blue police (policja granatowa) were collaborating or not? Or would you claim that they were not Polish?

[McG4evah]

@alanheath This is enough. Too many lies. British Aid for Poland? YOU ARE RIDICULOUS. Poland after 1945 wasn't a sovereign country - until 1989. Poland was the only country in occupied Europe that actually DID NOT collaborate with nazis. Poland was the only country where helping Jews equalled death penalty to the whole family of the person who helped. The other lies - no need to comment. Once again - I live in Warsaw, we can meet somewhere (some restaurant for example) and talk about history.

[McG4evah]

@alanheath Your unawareness of facts is so funny. Read at least 2 books, and maybe then we can talk. I can even meet u face 2 face somewhere in Warsaw and we can discuss on the war. I'm open to any propositions, cya ;)

[alanheath]

@McG4evah Despite British aid for Poland in WW2 and a massive amount of dead, Poland thanked the UK by aiding Argentina in the Falklands war. Thanks very much. Total ingratitude. But what else can we expect from lunatic nationalists.

And I wont even begin on the subject which the far right collaborated with the Nazis in occupied Poland in hunting down the Jewish population - who were also Polish!

People like you are a disgrace to Poland!

[alanheath]

@McG4evah 1. Tehran - decisions made by Roosevelt + Stalin largely behind Churchills back.

2. Yalta - decisions already made at Tehran

3. Gibraltar - you cannot provide any evidence of the alleged assassination of Sikorski, I know of no serious historian who so claims

4. There is a 100 year period on many files including WW1.

Of course people from 2RP were dead by 1989 - it was a long time.

That still leaves 40, 41, 42 in your silly claims.

[alanheath]

@McG4evah It is you who believes in the fairy tale world of conspiracy theories and lunatic nationalism. You talk of communism but you have no experience of it - unlike me. Your history knowledge does not come from research or understanding researchers but from far right publications which blame others for mistakes of the nationality you are trying to protect. The mere refusal of you to open your eyes to the real world condemns you to the fantasy world of being the victim.

[McG4evah]

@alanheath Once again, I don't see the point of discussing with you. Someone with such little historical knowledge is not a discussion partner to me. Have a nice day in the world you want to believe in, and Cya ;)

[McG4evah]

@alanheath And now, my last words here. I don't see the point of discussing with someone like you, who doesn't want to accept obvious facts and evidences. Just meet some historical facts and u'll find out what I'm talking about. As for now, I won't sink down to your level. Cya.

[McG4evah]

@alanheath Ad. 1: Teheran, Yalta, Gibraltar, Warsaw Uprising, delegalization of the London government,

Ad 2. I have death cerfificates and obvious evidences - they're available to the public.

Ad 3. MI5 admitted it, and well, in 2008 they prolonged top-secret status of the files until 2041.

Intellectuals - most of them were killed in concentration camps, sent to Syberia. Later they were murdered in PRL. Some survived, but most of the people who created IIRP were dead in 1989.
