The following are feedback letters to the popular Roving with Lalah feature published every Thursday. Robert would like to thank his readers for joining him on his adventures throughout the Island and hopes they'll keep taking the ride. Be sure to look out for another exciting adventure tomorrow!

Dear Robert,

I love how Lillian never bothered to prolong the issue with Munchie. It shows how we have the ability to put things behind us and move on because there can be a deeper care for each other. I would love to live in a place like Harmons that is as peaceful as the residents described. The water situation is unfortunate though, and I do hope they get piped water soon. People shouldn't be living under those conditions in this dayand age in Jamaica.

Keep up the good work. I love your articles.

I am, etc.,

Dear Robert,

I must commend you on your very hilarious stories that keep me searching The Gleaner weekly to see what next you have discovered in Jamaica. Keep up the good work, so many talents have gone to waste in Jamaica.

Take care and continue roving.

Dear Robert,

Since I was introduced to your column by my co-worker Doreen, it has been one constant drama in the office. We gather together every Thursday to read your stories. This is usually accompanied by laughter, repetition and the new word to be used for the week. For example "Prekeh" was used in almost every sentence by all of us this week. Every time it is used, laughter erupts not just from the intended victim, but from everyone. We count down the days every week until the next Thursday. Then on Thursday morning we greet each other by saying "Roving with Lalah today".

I realise that your column is a stress breaker that uplifts the spirit. It connects the overlooked communities with the rest of the island. It shows off the various interests, peoples and hamlets. It reminds you of the good old days and how simple life was. Some people may think, "Oh my God, no running water, how are they managing?" My thought is their life is simplified because they have no water bill to pay.

You truly are a storyteller. You remind me of days in Jamaica when my grandparents would sit on the porch in the evening and tell stories. Your column stirs nostalgia. Your use of our natural spoken dialect is warming to the heart. I am glad you have not shunned it but encourage the use of it. I could say so many heart-warming things your column does, simply put, it is a delight to read your column Mr. Robert Lalah. Keep these stories coming.

I am, etc.,
