Why does he have this anger at Guyana...did some Guyanese horn he rass?
They viewed the Queen the same way in T&T....
Rowley stated that after reigning for 70 years, the Queen has left a lasting legacy for the people of the UK and the world.
“The prime minister recalled the promise that the Queen had made at the age of 21 when she pledged her life to the service of her people. That promise was refreshed on her Coronation Day when she asked for ‘God’s help to make good that vow... I do not regret, or retract, one word of it’,” the release stated.
It noted that Queen Elizabeth visited Trinidad and Tobago on several occasions, the most recent of which was in 2009 to participate in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.“The prime minister said that although Trinidad and Tobago gained its Independence and later became a republic, this country recognises the lasting legacy of Her Majesty,” stated the release.

And, when she came to Trinidad, I was there, I didn't bow but our mind-set back then was one of hope that the empire would see us a equals- you csn say we were damn fools but these people remain evil.

Last night I looked at a programme on BBC about South American countries,it started with Guyana but the people interviewed had nothing good to say bout their politicians,the Brit interviewer asked a shop owner, "people could all be rich in a few years,"it was pointed out Guyana could be the richest country in the world,the Guyanese then said only the politicians will get rich.It appears the people have no trust in the politicians.Surinam was also ful up ah oil,natural gas etc.More amazing was a Afro Surinamese who bought some landout in the jungle and started prospecting for gold,he now earns $800000 US every month,he showed how quick he can find a piece ah gold,within a few minuted he found a piece worth $75 US,many say he is the richest man in Surinam.He sometimes throws thousands of dollars from his Helicopter to poor villagers,he also has loads of children with many different women I'm so sorry for him.French Guyana looks like part of France lovely place,those places will be up with many of the bigger countries,they are all underpopulated and people will soon be looking to settle in such places,if i was younger I would've left my beloved England.

1. It is Masculine plural (PRINCES Town) not Feminine Singular and has nothing of relevance to Elizabeth as the name of the town was made in 1880
2. At the St Stephen’s Anglican Church on Lothians Rd/High Street (which is a part of the Naparima Mayaro Road) junction Prince Albert and Prince George (he became King George later on and they named the park across from the Queen’s Park Oval “King George V Park” after him) planted 2 Poui Trees (Still existing today and is a landmark in Princes Town). The town was called Mission of Savana Grande but after the Princes visited they renamed it “Princes Town” at the date I listed in 1 above

What about St Charles , just after Usine Ste. Madeleine Sugar factory (Naparima Mayaro Road)
Did King Charles visit here...

In reply to sgtdjones
Actually “St Charles (pronounced Saint Sharl)” and “Sainte Madeline” are from the French history of Trinidad and Tobago vs British
St Charles and (“et” in French) Ste. Madeline are part of the “Usine” area. Usine means Manufacturing Plant in French and that is where the Old Caroni Sugar Mill/Plant was located. At the end of that district is “Mon Repos” which means “Resting Place” in French and was one of the stops on the Train Track at the Bypass. Incidentally that is where the housing projects are as well.

I have never heard of the Seepay River?
No river exists in St Charles. Just an old Railtrack now gone.

Why is it called Princes Town?
The fort was completed in 1683 and was renamed Fort Fredericksburg in honor of Prince Frederick William I, Elector of Brandenburg. Because the fort was named after a Prince, it has been referred to as Princes Town.
