  • Off topic, But during the course of one particular gentlemen's evening, I was challenged to the question 'what have the Polaks ever done for us ?'
    My response was 'Nikolai Copernicus, Frederic Chopin and Marie-Curie Sklodowska'.
    Following which, the questioner wound his neck in.
    Sharpish.
    FTR I was born in Stockwell. I'm not a Polish patriot. I'm a Londoner.

  • First two, tho important bit far from today, but Mari Curie is a good call especially as her discovery caused her and her husbands deaths. But as @Thrustvector not just 303 squadron, have a look why there is a Polish war memorial as the people of that ilk think it was the english that won the war.

  • Did you know that in photographs taken of her in her later life, Marie Curie appeared blurred on account of her emanating radiation.
    ETA 303 Squadron were based at RAF Northolt - hence the Polish War Memorial, adjacent to the airfield.
