13 questions to consider
published: Tuesday | August 9, 2005

THE EDITOR, Sir:

KINDLY GRANT me space to highlight these 13 questions that have come to mind and which I believe warrant consideration.

1. Why are there traffic lights and policemen in the same roundabout at the same time?

2. Does O-U-R mean office of useless rhetoric?

3. Is there a way to get calls you never made off your Cable & Wireless telephone bill?

4. Do JPS and NWC representatives really read meters?

5. Why is there an item called 'customer charge' on every JPS bill when the customer is already charged for usage?

6. Why do politicians when asked one question usually attempt to answer all except the one asked?

7. Why do Jamaican bypass roads have so many minor roads leading on and off?

8. Why is it that every time we have a serious increase in national crime statistics a new anti-crime squad is created?

9. Why do we have such a serious drought every year right after serious flooding in earlier months?

10. Why is so much tax collected and so little work done to show for it?

11. Why is it still easier to get through outside the RGD than inside?

12. Why does the passport office open at 5:00 in the mornings and close shortly at about 9:00?

13. Is GCT calculated on Income Tax?

I am, etc.,
