Yam Bites 1

Bits and pieces of information you'll see posted here as I spend the next 9 weeks or so out of Jamaica....


SPOTTED ON BWIA...

Professor Harris, new Vice Chancellor of UWI, Curtly Ambrose (for Dr D only....he's a retired West Indies fast bowler dear), Earl Moore, President of Guardian Life, Dr Nigel Clarke, formerly of NCB and Professor Carrington, head of UWI Continuing Education School in Jamaica.

EATEN ON BWIA....

Dry chicken breast, supposedly in Thai Sauce with veggies. 1/2 of a creme caramel (once I was finished the half I called the Purser and asked her to take away the temptation)

MISHAP ON BWIA....

Drink fell on the floor! Imagine that eh. I pressed down on the tray you take out from the handle to cut the dry chicken breast, when pashy....di tray give way and clunked into my lap! Both the glass of water and glass of Guava Pineapple juice fell.

WHAT SERVICE ON BWIA!....

We got a salad for a starter (yes, in case you wondering...I was 'up front') but it was very dry. I asked the purser Joan, if there was any salad dressing. She said that it's usually mixed into the salad. I turned over the leaves but only found dew. You know what I mean though. Next thing I see she go into a overhead bin and take down she bag and gimme a bottle of Caesar Dressing. Now that's service!!!
