    Midnight or midday?

    ADMIN: Midnight.

    Note the following example: If the time is 11:59pm 28th March one minute later is 12:00am (midnight) 29th March.

    It’s very sad in deed. So young to lose your life like that. But on the other hand if’s kinda not too bad. Because we used to lose our young people every week. Sometimes two and three at once. Things are not bad the am just came back from China 🇨🇳 to make a deal or two. So let’s see. Condolences to the young man’s family. I hope the other one recovers from his injury. Peace to men of goodwill.

    Its not midnight Friday March 29th yet. Correct the error.
    Everytime i read of those fatalities, i always ask if there is a traffic department in the politically compromised CDPF. Those lazies still do not put forward a case for mandatory wearing of headgear by cyclists. Their forte is to dress in green and follow a group of elderlies walking in Roseau on a Wednesday with guns and cameras. What a waste of resources. No surprise though, when the broken force is headed by a numskull who does not even comprehend the term ‘AMNESTY’!
