That volatile mixture they call Jankro Batty was a force in Jamaica at one time in the 50's. I have heard stories about many a strong men who drink ankro Batty and stagger home in the late night only to fall down the stairs and them 2 shoes them come off. Man knock out on the floor spread out like the letter T inna diamond sox. And didn't even spill on striking drop. The kids would shout " Oy, Aunty Mary Cecil drunk again outside pon di varanda. Come mek we pick him up".
Jamaica Business Expo? You can't have a business expo without a area leader extortion racket in Jamaica.My Grandfather Eric Higgins used to work at Wray and Nephew. He used to steal rum by dipping a clean rag in the unrefined rum and putting it in a plastic bag.When he got home he dipped it in a small pail of water and BAM, He got rum. He used to get drunk and say crazy shit like " Not even the dog dem that piss against the wall of Babylon shall escape the power of rum. " LMAO
I remember attending EXPO back in the 80's as a youngster,the best part was sampling all the products especially the Milo,Malted Milk,Grace Fruit Juices and visiting all the booths and getting the souvineirs,I lived in Nannyville, which is close to the Arena, so I was there every day,remember Prof
