The Boardwalk and The Wandering Scotsman and What a View

I was just lazing around indoors avoiding the cold weather on one of my trips back to London, when I was looking through the many pictures I had taken in Barbados. When I came across a picture that I was particularly drawn to and which I truly love and before you ask, it’s not because I’m in it, but because it reminds me of the beautiful Caribbean sea and the fantastic walk you get along the Boardwalk  in Barbados.

When I was looking at that picture, I almost felt as if I had been instantly transported back to Barbados and that I was enjoying the warm sunshine on my body,  I swear I could here the soothing sounds of the Caribbean Sea and that I could see countless pretty girls walking past me. Then I suddenly snapped out of it , when another police siren came whizzing past my home in London.

Thieves, Liars and Cheats All Around Us

Picture this scenario that happened to my wife the other day in a shop in Barbados! You take a $100 dollar bill out of your purse to hand to the shop assistant in order to pay for something and it gets accidently dropped on the floor

You bend down and pick it and then the guy behind you claims that it is his money and he wants it back. Now this is something that I suppose could have happened in any city in the world, if there happens to be a crook behind you in the queue.

Now the shop assistant could clearly see that the money had came from my wife because she watched her take it out of her purse and the assistant had her hand on the money and watched it drop to the floor. Now did the shop assistant even open her mouth when the crook demanded the money, you guessed right! Of course she didn’t!

As far as the crook is concerned, don’t try shit with a Londoner with Bajan blood, you are gonna wish you never started and he ever so politely got tore a new asshole for his trouble. Oh! And the shop assistant felt the sweet tongue of my wife as well!

I suppose things like this are a normal enough occurrence in the times that we live, where there are plenty of people out there that want everything for nothing and if given half a chance will steal or cheat to take what  doesn’t belong to them.

An incident like this could quite of easily escalated into something more serious. Could you imagine if my wife’s husband had been anywhere nearby when this happened, it could have turned into something more than just a bit of verbal.

I hear all your righteous bleeding heart social workers out there, which claim that it is society that that makes people resort to stealing, killing and doing whatever they want because they are so poor! There are millions of poor people out there that have never stolen a thing in their lives or hurt anybody to take something that don’t belong to them. I rest my case!

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
