What do you expect from a system so mired in cultural inefficiency that real changes are never made. On Eleuthera recently (and bear in mind BGCSE and BGC exams are fast approaching) there was school on Monday disrupted by taking chairs to workers house.Tuesday school closed for awards ceremony. Wednesday school.Thursday 1/2 for sports in Rock Sound.Fridays school closed for sports day in Rock Sound. Add to that throughout the year school closing early for staff meetings , no water visiting speakers and band practice three times a week, are you surprised that so many students struggle ?

Birdie you seem to conveniently forget that the PLP squandered the VAT money and saddled this country with huge debt leaving the new government the hard job of trying to get the country in a position where new infrastructure can commence and with a fair and transparent bidding process.

So many expats want to pay their property taxes but often find the red tape almost impossible.

Maybe Dear Fweddy would like to explain how numerous delegations visited Central Eleuthera to do numerous ground breakings for the new (pie in the sky) hospital. The land was purchased
from a prominent Bahamian and months of tractor work said to cost in excess of $900,000 to excavate, cut, reduce the hill to a level surface. There is now enough curry to pave the entire Bahamas. Just think what a couple of million of wasted dollars could have done Fred--Oh sorry you have selective memory issues.

Comment by a wealthy long time foreign resident. " every year they make it more and more difficult to live here". Comment #2 I paid my land taxes but the cheque lay un deposited on a governnent employees desk. Bottom line I can't license my car. What a cluster f_ _ k. Someone in power do something.n Winter residents and prospective investors are at the end of their patience.

How the hell can this fat idiot blame this government when they hired thousands just before the election. There are 52 weekers working in one government facility who do absolutely nothing except look at their phones and dash for lunch. Brave Davies nobody wants unemployment but how can you hire unqualified persons for positions that don't exist and expect their wages to come from the magic money tree. This country is deep in debt because of the cronyism, and GROSS incompetance of the PLP and you still don't get it. Go away.

It always facinates me how members of Parliarment obviously read and hear these woes yet refuse to take quick and decisive action. Smacks of a sinking ship wher rapid action could save the day but instead wait until the ship is nearly submerged to do something. Common Brent just come to Eleuthera and see how many foerigners are selling up.

Firstly many are legally here and secondly that doesn`t answer the question why so many young people prefer to wait for a cushy office or government job and find cutting grass or yard work beneath them

Funny on Eleuthera every morning there are Hatiens going to work and one can see some Bahamians who stay by the bar all day drinking. There is work if you want it.

When we had chickens produced in Nassau ( abaco chickens exclued) they were about the size of a cornish hen. What a rip off food prices are in general. My wife recently saw a SMALL cauliflower for sale in Eleuthera for $11.00 Thats beyond crazy.
