British living in Poland - documentary [42]
Obviously things are much better now than during communism, but the fact that there is mass emigration, must mean it's still pretty sh1t here.
frankly when it comes to rise family and live - not really! People could afford to do it then and cannot now that the fact.
I never claimed that it was easy and pleasant, it worked for me, I guess women are less up to challenge..if it doesn't involve men lol!
Yeah, they got so mild that when I moved to Mazury in the early nineties the lake I lived next to would freeze over completely several winters in a row
I remember them somehow milder then before.
Yeah, I was also totally freezing in 91-94,
Was it? damn,I guess I didn't really payed attention.
Don't know. But living in Poland, it's gonna be cold in the winter, whatever the government ...
yep blaming it on government is a bit rich.
the infrequent and unheated buses with icicles
not all the time ...
the undeveloped public transport
Not so bad, could be better.
failing communist state.
Failing? you mean if not for
the round table communism would fail anyway? I don't think so!
long bread lines
Don't recall them, I recall buying easily yogurt and bread roll, you know the longish kind,a stage between baguette and a short bread roll.
Yogurt was somehow better than nowadays. Less of chemicals and all that ****.
On the other hand, people who were comfortably cushioned within the system, who had so-called "backing" (plecy), or who participated in the shady dealing and trading that took place all around
What changed? They can do it openly now and show you a finger.
The Pewex shops stocked with seemingly normal products like lipstick, jeans, and cans of Coke,
Hey? Are you talking 60' or something? Coke you could buy easily in a bottle and was somehow better then #coke I drink sometimes nowadays. Fact, there were no cans, but hell who needs them, glass bottles are more ecological.. as for lipstick I;m not using it.:)
I could blame my parents for not playing along, for not joining all those dealing, trading, stealing, and "borrowing"
Come on, for not buying meat from other sources, nothing wrong with it. Honestly I don't understand where you come from with this[i]hunger[/i??? Yes, there were shortages of meat but then it wasn't that bad, there were no chocolate though(I still don't understand why- in 80' ? - I think they were doing it on purpose)When my father brought few bars from somewhere I was looking at them as if they were bars of gold lol!
