A lot of my good friends especially John Hamilton. My wife worked as his secretary for a number of years. Then there was Willie Alleyne our famous photographer and Peter Morgan as Minister of Tourism and owner of the St Lawrence hotel. These were great times.
Wow, this small film, made me feel so special to be a Barbadian. Man, this little has changed sooooo much. Still there is nothing or nowhere like my island in the Sun.
I see a lot of my friends playing cricket at Wanderers Cricket grounds where I played cricket and football. David Allen. Prof Edwards bowling and Ian Dowding batting bring back wonderful memories.
I am of Bajan descent and have lived there is well. Thank God it has changed, this is so white washed, but I am guessing that this was catering to a specific tourist market.
Lol this looks so weird , the only place that i was able to still make out was the garrison , certain parts of town looks about the same 😂😂 I must say this is the most white people I have seen in bim , the old days were different damn and loool @the flying fish pie wdr 😂😂
White people colonized Barbados in the 17thy century. They've been there ever since. Most of the white kids "mixing" in the schools are Barbadian born natives.
Nidhe israel synagogue in Bridgetown. One of the oldest synagogues in the Americas, standing since 1654, restored and used by the none human community in Barbados to this day. Book reference: Barbados the first israel by Hutchinson.
This is bs Barbados was fully loyal to the British empire and it showed so in ww1 and ww2 and I'm from Barbados go do your research before jumping to nonsense conclusion also I lived in Barbados and my family lived on British saint Lucia before it became independent my mum lived on it too when it was a colony too
@@kidgaminggaming5731 Typical old school bajan mentality......good servant for the master, little England🙄.....my grandmother told me about life in St John in the 40s and life wasn't great. The loyalty you talk about is because they grew up under colonialism and were practically taught to be thankful they were slaves. I thank Jamaica 🇯🇲 for changing that giving me freedom rather than the whip.
@@equinox95 LMFAO okay buddy explain all the Barbadians who willingly fought in bother world wars for the British empire my guy and you say slavery this slavery that but yet England still gives Barbados aid money TO THIS DAY and the rest of the former British Caribbean you're a bozo bro servants bro is funny barbados wasnt even inhabited by anyone before the English came and when the English DID ARRIVE majority of the original colonists were white mostly Irish indentured servants before the Africans arrived which is where the Bajan accent partially came from but I bet you didn't know that
@@kidgaminggaming5731 Barbados removed the Queen from head of state with majority support in Barbados. The UK does not send Barbados aid I live in London. The men who fought in both wars were colonial people who saw the king/Queen as God and England as heaven 🤣.....ask the people there now how many will fight for England and the Queen and wait for the response🤬. Some of us don't want to be little England little slaves anymore, although I can see there are still a few going around 🤔.
@@equinox95 little slaves? considering england was the first european power to get rid of slavery and even forced other coutnries to abolish it themselves but okay keep coping ignorant lad
