"Britain's million Poles have made up a secret slang that no-one but them can understand."

"UK Poles no longer pay 'podatki' (taxes), but British 'taksy'; they travel by 'tuba' (tube) and they complain about the 'trafik' (traffic).

They spend 'kesh' (cash,) take 'offy' (days off) and make 'fony' or 'cally' (phone calls) to their 'frendy' (friends.)"

'NO-ONE' can understand that 'tuba' might mean tube and that 'trafik' is traffic? REALLY?

Fannies. Still, s'called Ponglish though, which is almost funny. Almost.
