There was also many transported there from Bloody Assizes following 17century Monmouth rebellion.
Bullers ( gay men ) and trans* are not uncommon living openly in Barbados.

My husband's uncle moved from St Lucia to Barbados simply because it was significantly easier for him to live there as a transsexual. Of all the islands it's probably the most liberal.

However, homosexuality IS still illegal there........

Why is it sexist? Is battyclart offensive to people who go to the toilet?

Do you mean Bumbaclart? Meaning a shit rag or toilet paper?

...and yes it is sexist to denegrate the fact that women have periods by abusing others using terminology like pussyclart/bloodclart.

Yes, or bumbaclot, as it's more commonly spelt:

I always took it as meaning a used tampon/sanitary towel which is not a particularly pleasant object. Insults tend to be references to taboo objects.

I should imagine those googling such things are not from the Caribbean anyway.

....and I disgaree with you, I think it has further/deeper connatations than that. I think it associates with women being seen as unclean when they are bleeding and because they bleed. A woman's normal bodily functions being denigrated, just like women are too.

I seem to remember a similar convo with you in Fishco Mao? Not on this specific subject but similar vibe. I'm not doing it again.

?!?!?!?!What vibe?

No idea what you're on about. I've attended fishco once, and don't remember talking about much other than how to play a video. I enjoy discussing the finer/obscurer points of language, it's an interest of mine, but if you're going to take it personally I agree we should leave it there.

Leave Cliff alone. He is one of us, and often posts in Suburban and the What's For Tea? thread, complaining about the Barbados Waitrose. They have stopped stocking Rodda's creme fraiche, just like my local branch. I am with him all the way.

According to the Radio 4 news at 1pm today he was in Portugal earlier this week. But I'm sure he'll be popping back to Blighty for a visit soon...

this man might want to change his job

He raised a wolf in Montana, was named an honorary member of a native American tribe and became an uncanny Cliff Richard impersonator when only in his 20s.

Now former Longwood resident and performer Kytsun Wolfe is back to take to the stage in the area for the first time.

It’s fair to say that it has been a rather 'unusual' life for the one time Thornhill Road resident, who will grace the boards with his new 50s and 60s inspired musical, Bobby Socks and Blue Jeans, at Halifax’s Victoria Theatre on October 9 following a career that has led him globe-trotting around the world .

Kytsun, 30, discovered his love for singing when he was only three. He entertained his dad’s trucker friends and school pals before moving down south at six-years-old and leaving school at 16 for the starry lights of London, before plying his trade as a 1950s and 60s singer and entertainer at clubs around the country.

“I’m not sure why I started but it turned into a lifelong vocation, even playing to audiences in Tyneside social clubs which were known as the graveyard for performers didn’t put me off-it just makes you a tougher performer.”

i was looking at the children in the background of the video and didn't realise the song was about the transient nature of childhood, thinking it was more about the carefree late teen years. i intended no sexual connotation.
