Stuff was coming in from Trinidad and elsewhere so cut your crap that it was only Berbice. People use to leave Guyana with shrimp and other products, sell it in Trinidad and then buy toilet paper and other items for sale in Guyana.
I was on many of those flights packed with traders who also used to bribe baggage loaders in Piarco to ensure that their bags were loaded, and then bribed the customs officials. And before you start up with your usual Indo Nazi nonsense as if it was only Indos involved a whole lot of these people were also black.
