Sheeptrimmer, I think you will find that Grants Town was established by the colonial authorities for freed slaves but not absolutely sure of this. Mr. Bain owned the land that is now named after him and sold inexpensive lots to many free citizens. I don't know what complexion he was.

Yes, unfunded pensions for government workers (sic), the fiscal elephant in the budget room. Thank you, Swindling, A.D., Delivery Boy, and The Finger.

What a horrible thing to wish for, you should be ashamed of yourself, wanting to mess up other people's party time. How would you like someone wishing your life would fail.

Who told you slavery has ended? Do some research before you post your fake news, john-done-gone.

Your humour always appreciated.

My poor country indeed but at least the corrupt buffoons of your beloved plp are no longer in power and destroying the economy.

This is a D-minus racist post. What racial prejudice are you taking about?

it did not rain today, also I had M.Dames Private Security Services check my lines and they reported that they were clear. Not too sure about the little box with an aerial sticking out which they seem to have left behind in my fuse box where the lines come into the house though.....

fair point, boggant.

Bogert, have you read the article? Their major concern is that the foreign nurses being hired are being contracted to work 12hr shifts for less days instead of 8 hour shifts for more days. The union worried about contracts of people who are not even members. I worked as an auxiliary nurse when young, changes in shifts worked sometimes meant off at 11pm and back on at 7am. Nursing is not a 9 to 5 business, it is 24 hour a day work. Don't become a nurse if you do not understand this.
