History / Communist Era in Poland: Some questions [28]
Yeah i was a boy in 1980,81,82 when the tough times were on. There was periods where food was scarce, we lived in the city. In the morning the bakery was swamped by people lining up for bread and other basics. My mother sent me once, she said ' i am sick of these stupid lines can you go?' So i went and the line was 150 people long. I lined up for 15 minutes and got nowhere. Anyway, because most of the people were adults they let me in the line infront of them and i tried to look really cute ( lol at the cunning! ), they must have thought i was a poor boy with no parents. From that day on i went to the shops on a regular basis. It was easy, i just start talking to the ladies and the men too and get further up the line, one day i was pushed to the front by people behind me and the guy who was at the very front objected. He turned around to see a 100 angry faces staring at him and just waved his hand and let me in, i won't forget that one. SUCKERS, I win!
