Charlie Seems To Be Popular In Barbados

I have just had a wee 11-night break at a hotel at St Lawrence Gap in Barbados. Everywhere I went, Charlie seemed to be following me. Charlie sure seems to be very popular in Barbados. I have never personally came so close to the revered and well known Charlie as many times as I have during the past 11 nights in all of my life.

During my 11-night break I must have came across one of Charlie’s friends at least twice every day without fail. Good old Charlie was everywhere I turned.

I remember the first time Charlie approached me, it was the first afternoon of my break and I had just walked along to the wee shop on the Gap. Which was only 2 minutes walk from my hotel and someone gave me the talk, “You alright man”, and then asked me If wanted to buy some Charlie, which took me a wee bit by surprise as I thought drug pushers only operated undercover of darkness.

The most disturbing of Charlie’s friends that I came across was a young kid that looked about 14 years old, who asked me if I was looking for Charlie. This happened virtually right outside my hotel entrance. Maybe he had a friend called Charlie that was looking for a white guy from Scotland!

The craziest of Charlie’s friend’s that I came across, I met when I was walking along the road in Hastings. I heard a car virtually screech to a halt on the opposite side of the road, next thing the driver is asking me If I need a taxi, then If I would like some Charlie, then some weed, then  if I was looking for a girl, maybe she was Charlie’s sister.

The most persistent of Charlie’s  friends followed me along the Gap for about 5 minutes shouting after me, waiting for me to stop and for him to catch up with me. I kept on ignoring him because I knew I didn’t want anything that he was peddling. When he eventually caught up with me, it was the usual story, are you looking for some Charlie.

Just in case anybody is wondering, my answer to Charlie’s friends was quite simple an emphatic no,no,no, no, and some more no’s. I think the authorities in Barbados need to do more to combat the evil of drugs in Barbados.

Now I have never taken drugs in my life and never will, it just isn’t my thing, I don’t believe in it. For those of you that do take drugs, go and get some help, for there will come a day in your life when the drugs will own you, they will control you and then become your master.
