Ahh, fond memories. When the communism was giving its last breath in Poland in 1989, inflation got pretty high - around 40 percent a year.

This guy had friends in London so he spent a lot of time there working (those were happy times when Policeman was not allowed to ask you if you have a work permit and having a government issues ID was considered as a disgrace to human dignity), so he was a very fluent speaker plus he was bringing to Poland luxuries like Melody Maker magazine that I was laboriously reading, fascinated (I was and I am big music fun).
