You know you're West Indian when ...

As loads of you know, I'm always on my Twitter as I find it easier and an instant way of communicating to people.

Stuck at home yest, I was in and out of Tweeting and a fellow tweeter of mine (sup Xi'an) were wishing producer Dready a Happy Birthday and let him know we would have fixed him some 'hard food' had he been here in the UK to celebrate.

After passing a few jokes the day went by without incident until. R&B sweetheart Jamelia came on later bored and started the trend:
#YouKnowYoureAYardieWhen which I've got to say has given me the most joke.

I had to blog some of them for those who aren't on Twitter and seeing as I'm from Barbados and Guyana for the West Indians as a lot of this applies to us (minus the small island digs lol)

Shout out to everyone who made me laugh til no sound came out, my cheeks and stomach hurt and I was exhausted, and Jamelia who started the madness. I swear half of these were from Dready too! *side eye*
