Barbadians in parts of St John, St Joseph, St George and St Thomas did not have the merry Christmas they wanted after waking up to dry taps or very low water pressure.

Kaycene Richards said it was customary for her family to get together and have Christmas functions that ran from lunchtime into the night.
