ANOTHER CASE OF REMARKABLE HONESTY!  
Last week virtually all of Barbados lauded the selfless actions of postman Tyrone Evelyn after an envelope containing bills and money had been mysteriously thrust into his hand.
And today Jamaican-born Philip Jackson is singing the praises of the management and staff of Jobu’s Sports Bar and Restaurant in St Lawrence Gap, after a bag containing US$10 000, £500 and a BlackBerry cellphone was returned to him after he left it there last Sunday night.
Waitress Petra Modoo, who found the bag, said that after she cleared the table and saw the bag, she ran outside looking for the customer but he had disappeared.
“I did not know they were staying next door. The rain was drizzling, so I stood there for a few minutes, thinking they may pass in a vehicle, but it was my time to leave my shift, so I left it by the bar to see if he would pass back,” she said.
