Well it's Glasgow and down the Clyde but I suppose you want more detail than that.... I remember Waverley coming to Fleetwood in the late 70's, everyone was stood on the prom for miles, then it sailed round to one of the piers at ful tide and did a short cruise.

The official language of Poland, Polish, is a Slavic tongue and therefore related to Russian, Czech, and many other Eastern European languages.
English is spoken to some extent in larger cities, partic. by younger peolple, though older inhabitanys are more likely to speak German or French as a second language.
Russian is understood, but very unpopular.
