"When I went into a coma, there was only tea and vinegar in the shops," Jan Grzebski, now 65, told a Polish news channel.
"Meat was rationed and there were huge petrol queues everywhere."
When Grzebski fell into a coma 19-years ago after being struck by a train, his native Poland was a communist state, part of the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact. Now, as he's rapidly learning, all that has changed but, still, he says some things are very much the same. He couldn't help noticing that people were complaining just as much as during the years of empty shops and martial law. "Now I see people on the streets with cellphones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin," he confessed.
"What amazes me is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and yet they never stop moaning."
