Now I have to begin with a line from BLUEBOY when he said: I eh sure if so the ting really happen, because (slight exaggeration) ....
Anyway, I am not going to swear as to the accuracy of any aspect of the story because the message from the story is more important than the content. But some time back in the EARLY NINETIES I was liming with some fellahs (Trini Fellahs) by meh pardner house in San Francisco with Kenneth Charles and some other fellahs who had come up from Los Angeles. So man drinking and smoking and ole talking and as usual the TRINI FRUSTRATIONS raised their head ... yuh know the HOW TO MAKE THINGS BETTER that always comes up.
Well, one ah the fellahs from LA STEUPPS and say: Leh meh tell allyuh ah story!!!
After the NAR take over in 1986 that Government started an outreach program to include EXPATS all over America (maybe the world) to come together and try to rebuild the country. So I think that either ROBINSON (himself) or some high-ranking Minister went to LA and had a meet and greet and everybody felt real important and patriotic and listened to the message and made a decision to schedule a BIG MEETING in the near future where plans will be laid out to advance ideas to work long distance to benefit WE COUNTRY.
This is the PUNCH LINE coming here!!! The man say (the fellah from LA) that within 15 minutes of the start of the meeting EVERYBODY start to tell EVERYBODY how educated they were, and what school they went to and how bright they were and what BIG JOB they hold right now there in LA and how nobody else eh smart and educated and RICH like them. Needless to say that the whole meeting descended into LOCAL DIALECT with yuh mother this and yuh mother that -- and the MEETING MASH UP.
With NONE ever to be called again!!!
Draw your own conclusions!!!
But I will always say that THIS IS AH OLE TALK FORUM y nada más!!!
