'Damn Set of Thieves'

While waiting on my Media Pass at the Accreditation Centre last Thursday, someone I knew said she had heard that parking at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium cost J$500.00, and you had to shell out J$150.00 for a cup of water. No bottles allowed, remember, so you cannot stock up at the supermarket before the game, to reduce costs.
I don't live in Jamaica now, but I recalled occasionally buying bottles of water from guys at the traffic light, and I was sure I had paid J$50.00 each time. Maybe I was mistaken. Maybe she was mistaken, and in my mind, I passed it off as hearsay.
