Many Polish driver’s (not only proffesionals) still use CPN as a synonime for gas station, as during old times Centrala PrzemysÅ‚u Naftowego (The Central of Petrol Industry) was the only network… What is interested, I hear that even from people who are too young to remember CPN stations!

I wonder how stupid was the guy who got an idea of rebranding every lasting CPN station to Orlen this someteeen years ago… That brand has to be worth a fortune even today…

"Do you want anything from the shop " the youth asks, yeh get me a toffee crisp, 10 mins later he comes back with a packet of cheese and onion crisps, what’s this I ask?? They hadn’t got toffee so I got those.
He was bloody serious !!

Rough shag was pipe tobbacco, so it’s just as well you didn’t!

How do I know? well when I was too young to smoke but did, I went into a tobacconist and asked for some tobacco and papers…Which tobacco do you want said the shop keeper…not knowing there was any difference I saw some “rough shag” and asked for that. the rest as they say is history…it tasted bloody awful and I bet the tobacconist is still laughing about it today
