Anyone know Nick’s username on here?

I am British and have lived in Poland for 25 years and went to my first Brighton game in 1966 when I was four years old and I have never met another British supporter of Brighton in Poland in all the years I have been here. I have however met recently a few Polish Brighton supporters and there is even a Polish Brighton supporters club.
I was wondering if there are any Brits living in Poland supporting Brighton?

I’m quarter Polish, quarter Ukrainian - my Grandmother was born in Ukraine, my Grandfather in Warsaw, Poland.

Dad was evacuated to Britain from Poland in 1939 on one of the Kindertransport rescue missions - my Grandparents followed later.

(I’ve never lived in Poland but have visited several times).

"Bloody Poles, coming over here, being all Polish and mending everything. Coming over here, fixing all the stuff we've broken and are too illiterate to read the instructions for. Doing it better than us in a second language...”

I went to watch a football match in the national stadium in Warsaw, I couldn’t see a thing as I was sitting behind a pole.

I was born in Polegate, does that make me Pole-ish

Funny enough, was having breakfast with my Mum in Seafords own fecking weird WW2 cafe. She said 'It's funny but I can't think of a single person in our family that died in the Second World War!'
So I said 'What about your Mum's entire family in Poland that was wiped out in the Holocaust?'
'Oh yeah, of course.'
Yes my maternal line runs through Warsaw. Whenever I tell Polish people I have Polish ancestors they're interested right up until I say they're Jewish.
I have the same with Bulgarians when I say my Wife's Grandmother is Bulgarian, they lose interest when I say Turkish Bulgarian.
