Dear Editor,
While walking across a minor road, I was hit in the side by a road hog driving a black Mitsubishi motor car. This was because he couldn’t wait for me to get across the road, which he wanted to enter from Half-Way-Tree Road.
I thought about reporting the matter to the police, but wised up; for I am told they don’t even investigate robberies in which illegal guns are used, so what are the chances of them investigating an incident in which the weapon used is a legal motor vehicle? I am clearly assuming here.
Anyway, it happened at the slip road by the former Scotiabank Premier Plaza, which has been captured by mainly illegal taxi operators right under nose of the police in Half-Way-Tree. But we often hear that a number of the taxis, legal and illegal, are owned/operated by police anyway, which might explain the oversight of the indiscipline.
I wonder if this new Government is up to the task of turning back the creeping anarchy which is threatening to totally engulf the country? I guess only time will tell.
And talking about the Bank of Nova Scotia. I noticed that at their branch on Constant Spring Road all the parking areas near the entrance are reserved for the bank staff (with 2 spaces for disabled persons) leaving their “valuable customers” to have to walk long distances to get into the branch, come rain or shine. I wonder if the staff would have a job if there were no customers?
