PUDDING & SOUSE: Big spender may leave

ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS and wealthy British citizens who owns a home on Barbados’ platinum coast may be completely over the rainbow.

Word reaching Pudding & Souse is that he is having a dispute with his neighbours and is planning to sell his local mansion, never to return.

The big-ups in the real estate market on the West Coast estate where he resides are frantically trying to solve this dispute because they know that if this famous man picks up and leaves, a number of other wealthy Brits may follow suit.

Not to mention a number of local charities have benefited from his generosity.

A web has been cast on the situation to keep it all hush-hush from the British Press so it will be interesting to see what the big-ups will compose to keep this man who also carries a British title happy again.

Educator banned

This may sound unbelievable but it’s true – a well-respected educator who has given over 30 years of his life teaching at an institution has suddenly become persona non grata now that he has retired.

We understand that he has been ordered not to venture on the compound of the institution unless he requests a visit in writing or else he will be arrested.

This order apparently has been given by the principal, who has had a long-standing feud with the educator.

However, some people are not in agreement with the treatment that is being meted out to the educator, saying that instead of trying to ban him one of the departments should actually be named after him for his sterling contribution not only to the institution but to Barbados.

They say history will show that he has left a lasting legacy which can never be replaced.

Guests left wondering

Guests who attended a recent wedding were very jittery at the ceremony when the bride did not appear for several hours.

Many thought she may have left the groom at the altar because there were whispers that she was getting cold feet.

Apparently she had only been dating the groom for a few months after having a bitter fallout with her previous boyfriend, who she had been in a relationship with since high school. It appears that she dumped him after cheating on him with her new husband.

While the couple finally got married after several tense hours of waiting, one of her family members went on social media the next day to apologise for the delay and admitted that the bride took long to arrive for her wedding because she was having second thoughts about marrying her new man.

Never-ending warnings

How many more warning letters should an employee get before they are fired?

That is what staff at a certain institution are asking because one of their colleagues has been given so many chances that they are beginning to believe she is untouchable.

She has developed a pattern of working every other day and if she comes to work one she allows everyone to know: “I here today, so don’t look for me tomorrow.”

The thing is that several colleagues have spotted her in Marhill Street on the days when she is supposed to be at work and have sent her bosses some photos of her pulling the slots, but all they do is write her a different warning letter every week.
