Not mine, not affliated....standard disclaimer.
But, what the heck is a "polish" galley?

If I was overly-sensitive, I think I might take umbrage to the detrimental use of my ancestry; but I think they are referring to the forward facing galley as opposed to the more common rear facing one.

Hear, hear! What makes them think the Polish got it wrong -- maybe we are the only ones who got it right?!

Clever. I often use my tongue box as a kitchen counter.

Hands up all those who used to use one of the early Hewlett Packard calculators back when only businesses could afford them. The worked in "Reverse Polish Notation", which is what this teardrop advert reminded me of.
On my Casio, I press '2', '+', '2', '=' and it displays 4.
In RPN, that would be '2', 'input', '2', '+' - enough to fry my brain.

Just remember Polish with a capital "P" denotes the nation.
polish with a lower case "p" denotes the property of being smooth and shiny

I tried one once... it fried my brain too! I'll stick with my Casio.

Once you get used to RPN you wont want to use anything else!

I love my HP41 in RPN. Ten minutes to learn and a lifetime of quicker, more sensible math.
