STICKY DEAL

ZR VEHICLE OWNER Roger Jordan feels as though he is being "squeezed off the road". On one hand, his insurers, Consumers' Guarantee Insurance (CGI), have told him: Take off our sticker and we'll stop writing insurance coverage for your vehicles! On the other, the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) has told him: the sticker must come off. The sticker, which all ZRs insured by CGI must carry, invites people to phone the company whenever they see public service vehicles off route, engaged in reckless driving, playing loud music, speeding, or loading and off-loading other than at bus stops. CGI general manager Peter Harris said the stickers – 30 inches wide and six inches high – were introduced in an effort to control or eliminate bad driving habits of public service vehicles.Source: The Nation Newspaper

These stories does kill me dead... you know somewhere down the line, somebody telling more lies than a fly got eyes. The Barbados Advocate (the paper that i apparently don't read) reported that MTW said, that all de ZR man had to do was seek permission... of course if there was also something said about passing money and sexual favours, that probably would have been editted out. Ahh boy.. you know how we public sector does operate... keep noise about a fly when there is a camel bading in the soup... TEK OFF dem stickers, but leave in the big CD deck so my 12 year old sister can hear how a panani is supposed to be ridden.. this type of education is a public service. Wear your Uniform... but you don't have to shower before you come to work and the occasional Guinness is OK. Drive properly, but swerve like a maniac to avoid the potholes we refusing to fix and every now and then, curse a passenger. Who calls those insurance complaints numbers anyway... it gine eat up the last few minutes on your cell phone and you know that report gine end up in file 13. All de talk, you know there is no vehicle that does go in more scruffy than a Transport Board bus running cross country... hopping bout the road like de shocks were unceremoniously removed... automatic bus and de driver hand still pon de gear stick like he at Bushy Park.

*After reading this post, 28 persons from the ZR community will say dem does bade everyday. That could be true, if their shower water is being pumped directly from the wharf. Wuh if a school girl ever faint in de van stand, they could use a ZR man shirt to revive she... more potent than smelling salts.
