How about a 2017 Christmas card mailed in Freeport for a Freeport resident arriving in June 2018! From one side of the office to the other...

Looking at the photo above makes me anxious about the cleanliness of the cutting board and knives! And even more about the hands dealing with the conch...Better to buy the conch and make your own delights!

I too object to this double taxation! You forgot to mention how the Vat is added at Every point in the transaction when handled by another vendor. So, at the end, you pay on the higher value plus the seller's markup. We cannot afford to live like this!

Mr Gardiner served with distinction as a Headmaster at Hawksbill All-Age School in Freeport, Grand Bahama many years ago. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Cut your coat according to your cloth! The country cannot afford to host and for once the decision is reflected by the budget constraints. Finally, good sense.

Absolutely, Mr Gomez! You have stated my feelings exactly. In addition, I want to have the blueprint of success designed by Government hung up all over the town and periodically adjusted, showing how we are meeting our goals. If we are all in this together, let's keep in touch.

He has to learn to take his licks! He made his decision and his leader made his. Travis doesn't have to justify anything. Suck it up and accept the consequences. Maybe in the future, someone will recall there was an opposing view. It won't change the price of rice in China. Welcome to the real world, my boy. Your job is to represent your constituents and no excuses!

Hope they are not planning to penalize us who use US medical facilities! They already make us have US prescriptions rewritten by Bahamian doctors before having them filled locally. Having experienced medical facilities in both places, I do lean more toward the foreign ones. An example: foreign nurses provide bed pans if needed; locals ignore request, hoping patients will get up anyway to go even wearing a leg cast...We have a long way to go .Thank goodness for medical insurance that allows choice of the options. One day we'll reach the first world.
