“We will continue making other power related upgrades in October and November as well to catch up with deferred maintenance.”
Deferred maintenance???? Why isn't maintenance the highest priority

According to a Letter to the editor, GEBE was too busy celebrating their birthday to do maintenance, I guess. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Carol, How does the Herald work? The date on the top says Sept. 30, yet you posted this on the 29th. in the am? Doesn't look like "island time" everyone talks about. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Such jerks at GeBe.
Plus that was the Opinion column of TDH.
And government fell today.

Do the people that defected and jumped ship stay in office? Were they elected? Or do they have to resign and you have elections again?
Is it similar to if someone changes their party affiliation?

gln60 said:Hi..sad to say but "ISLAND TIME" for citizens of many caribean islands is just another word for LAZINESS...the only people that should be on "ISLAND TIME" are the people that spend good money to visit an island, not the people providing services in restaurants..hotels etc. on the island!!! Thanks <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> where do you get off calling people you don't even know lazy? I wish people would stop being so insulting,

Definitely, ban her from the island, maybe even tar and feather her.
How dare she have an opinion and less so even express it.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. ðŸ˜

There you go, I took it as an opinion and you took it as an insult. I think that many who have visited the island have experienced poor service as well as exceptional service. And, as so often happens, the tales of poor service are shared over and over.
Maybe she has had experiences on the island that are less than stellar.
Me personally, I've had a million wonderful experiences associated with my visits to the island and can not remember a single experience that was less than positive.
It might be easier to ignore a comment that you don't agree with than to become insulting yourself.
My opinion, and it might be influenced by being batcrap crazy.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. ðŸ˜
