rudemedic Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Have you heard him speak? Unless Barbados is a suburb of Sheffield I'm not sure he's ever even been there.If I could visit Barbados with the excuse of visiting family, I don't think I'd ever leave. You're right though he's Bajan through his father, and was born, and presumably raised in Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFCM35 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 He's not. That's what he said. Just guess work. He's guessing he hasn't been there, when he has no idea if he has or hasn't.. For the record I have heard him speak and he speaks like a Yorkshire man but that doesn't mean he's never been to Barbados Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Is he on Trip Advisor? There's a map thing on there where people can tick off every country they've ever visited. That might solve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
