Let Me Down Gently (Flagman)


The Flag of Trinidad and Tobago - Red with a white-edged black diagonal band from the upper hoist side to the lower fly side. This masquerader is showing off his weeks weight training and twirling our flag as if he was a flagman.


Flagman jumps down from the wall to get a last lap wine from a passer-by. The woman foreground is the friend of the woman with the Flagman.


Flagman grooving to a Soca Chutney tune, Madam is the white shorts is working at his crutch



Friend (standing facing forward) is not amused and walks up to the couple and says quite dismissively; Tracy don’t break the focking stupid man little wood….come on! Then she proceeds to grab her hand and walks off leaving Mr. Flagman somewhat crestfallen.
Note that she was capable of squeezing in the words, stupid and little.

I keep telling people that Trinis spell the word "fock". So how did they advertise "Meet The Fockers" in T&T?
