Upset the whole world I think. |

My grandmother is still, apart from now you are here, the greatest human being that ever lived. |

She lived with me for all my life, her morals are my morals, but my problem is I ignored them for many years. |

Just behave yourself, be kind, be truthful. |

I know. |
(0, 3) 187 |
I did send the odd message. |
(0, 3) 188 |
I'm sorry, I probably said some things… some things that probably upset you. |

We used to grow citrus fruits; oranges, tangerines, mangos ─ my grandfather used to grow Tangelo. |
|

They're like a cross between tangerines, oranges and something else. |

Your great-grandmother, |

A few generations ago we were slaves and my great-grandfather, he was like a landowner and I think he was almost, more or less, pure white, he was. |

Caribbean and black slavery doesn't worry me as much as some people take it to heart. |
(0, 5) 279 |
I know that it was a great evil and it needs to be compensated for or what not, but I'm pragmatic to the point where you know … everyone be a bastard in that age, everybody took slaves, even Africans ─ we just got the sharp end of the stick. |

I'm so glad that we've managed to meet. |

I mean you can still get away with doing pretty much anything ─ it's not like they're really policing it. |

/When we had curfew in Jamaica, I was held at gunpoint because of the killings. |
|
|
(0, 7) 406 |
The killings in Kingston, political violence. |
|
|
(0, 7) 408 |
That's ok, I never taught you. |
|
|
(0, 7) 411 |
So you had the Jamaican Labour Party and then just across the road you have the PNP, People National Party, they were just killing each other. |
(0, 7) 412 |
Killings and gangsterism were just a hangover from colonialism. |

I suppose, but more dangerous, we were just outside the city limits, I was with my cousins in Spanish town. |
(0, 7) 419 |
Yeah, but anyway, we go across and we go see some Rasta man just over the other side of the city limit, and we sit there and we eat and we smoke, not that I was smoking mind … |

… and we're coming back and there's a massive lorry full of soldiers, I could hear it in my head for ages after, they had this tail gate on the lorry, dropped the tail gate, boom... boom... boom. |
(0, 7) 423 |
And they had us up against the bank, and this one soldier stuck his rifle in between my legs, I was only, like, 14, and he went, 'bang...bang, spread out', and I, I was helpless like this, and then he came right up to my ears just touching me, and, excuse my language, he said, 'boy, if I feel anything hard in your belt buckle I'm gonna kill you'. |

(0, 7) 425 |
That's what he said to me. |
