    I hope it starts on time and not 35 minutes late as, on average, do most events, meetings and appointments in Dominica.

    A senior civil servant has labeled me the most arrogant Englishman he has ever met. Why…because after waiting at his office for 20 minutes after the appointed time I came home. Previously he had not shown up at all for two appointments. There was no apology on all three occasions.

    On another occasion I was invited to attend a management meeting. I was there on time but had to wait over an hour for the rest of the team to show up. First item on the agenda: the unreliability of their workforce!

      One of Dominicas big problems, the total lack of discipline.
