Barbados blades.

[corkysbeard]

Watching England v West indies at cricket and just seen a blades flag,obviously supporting Joe root.

Just saw a "Chesterfield Rams" flag as well. Never heard of them, but it must be more fun being in Barbados than watching either Chesterfield or the Rams just at the moment. .

[CarlingBlade]

Used to work for a number of hotels in Antigua, I was at Workd a Travel Marketing selling these hotels to Tour Operators, I know hardly anything about cricket, I got talking to this guy who was working for the Antigua Tourist Board, I knew he wasn't from the Uk office so must have been based in Antigua, I made him a cuppa and introduced myself, he said "pleased to meet you, my names Viv, but you can call me Sir Viv". OOPS.

She keeps changing her mind,today it's Barbados,yesterday it was St Lucia,day afore that it was a cruise,I'm saying nothing leaving her to pick,it's her birthday

I'm a bit biased as Mrs SEB and family are from St Lucia, prettiest Island in the whole of the Caribbean. If it's the first time out there I'd recommend a cruise as you get to see several islands and get a bit of a taste and feel of them without the outlay of a two week break. We're on a cruise in December this year in the Caribbean.
