someone send me this ! once you pass through communism usually you never go back!
Found a funny thing, but
not sure if to Poles only. In communism times (especially last 15 years) there
was almost nothing in the shops, supplies were coming in erratic way, almost
everything was rationed (like in war times, you had special bonus only for
limited volumes of various purchases like meat, sugar, fuel, etc etc). So permanent,
long queues in the shops were something very inherent to Poles' daily lives.
You had the impression that you were queuing all the time, without even knowing
what will come with the delivery, and if there would be sufficient amounts of
that to get any chance to buy something. I found a photo from that times,
accompanied with a very contemporary comment: 'In old times Black Friday was
every day'
