On the night of The Great Blackout - Saturday, August 27, soon after power was restored along Molynes Road, in St Andrew, I had reason to be at an all-night tyre shop for an extended period. It is a fascinating place to observe the interaction of men around that most macho of objects - an automobile.
Part of that is the intensity with which the process of repairing a tyre is observed. The persons fixing the rubber that makes contact with the pavement are experts, the persons who stop for repairs are not. Yet, the staring, the inspection, the advice given at times and the general demeanour indicates that the men whose tyres are being attended to are not into any joking business. (Come to think of it, I have never seen a woman driving in to take care of repairs. They get there as passengers and never speak, apart from to the man who drove them there - very rarely and in low tones.)
