Mr. Wilfred is one of the nicest persons I've gotten to known within the last decade. Had the pleasure of installing a surveillance system for him after he was the victim of a burglary. His shop is truly a step back in time. You can literally sit for hours and chat with him. Amazing article

Does anybody know of an old white rum called Trinidad ?
I saw that maybe 15 years ago in a gas station in Nigeria. It had Trinidad written on the bottle and it was made by Caroni iirc. The bottle looked old like the Crystal rum bottle in the article.

You can get the Malta. But he only opens for a couple hours in the morning and then again in the afternoon.

Where is this place? Opposite the landslip railing where doubles sells on mornings?

It all depends on which direction you're taking. Going to Princes Town via 'taska road', when you approach the 4 road intersection with the traffic lights and the WASA Station on the left. You need to turn left and drive along the
'Main Road'. It's located on the left after just driving for a few minutes. If you pass the licensing office then you've gone too far.

Regardless of the direction you travelling its either opposite or not opposite the landslip railings- like me perpendicular don't take sides

I am familiar with the Shop in my days.

I like the Nostalgic series of articles by Richard Charran.
