Remember those family planning commercials in Patois?

Got a couple more:

- de shorts mogglahs...OH LAWD
- Little Junour Tucker - remember his commercial for I think it was Milo when he was getting ready to write his common entrance exams?

I went home and worked for a while during that era and I remember it as if it were yesterday. Lots of warm memories.

Remember the tea parties with the fashion shows that all used the same music "Breezin'". I posted it once before.

- Remember the Cuban School?

- De helicraftah?

Being able to leave your door unlocked and go about your business even in some parts of Kingston? That has changed forever [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

- Third World's concert at the Jamaica Garden theatre.
