The grass is greener

A former London bus driver has become the first British man to get a job driving a bus in Poland.

While up to 2 million Poles have left to work elsewhere in the EU in recent years, Paul Brannan has made the reverse trip. He met his wife Kamila three years ago on a snowboarding vacation in Poland and decided to leave the UK and live in her country.

Although he is paid much less than in London, he said he felt safer. He said even the drunks are friendly.

Mr Brannan now lives in the picturesque mountain town of Zywiec in southern Poland which is famous for its local beer.

The number of people from the UK now living in Poland has increased by more than 300%percent since the Poles joined the European Union three years ago.
