Yes Ernest I remember when the UWP was in power. These are some of the things that I remember from 3 years ago
1)Fuel and Cooking gas was much cheaper than it is today!

We also had an international horse racing track employing many young men who would normally be on the block. Cruiseship home-porting was also about to happen in the south. Today it is now an Escalated Crime Area!
