Berbice was once a Dutch colony, hence Berbice chair.

Chief and IGH, 'tis the season for goodwill.
You all don't fret and fight over that darned sexist lazy-man chair.
Those male planters of yore were only thinking about themselves when they invented that chair.
Unlike all other chairs, the so-called plantation chair was not intended for women. And I've never seen even tom-boys spread their legs on the arms of such a chair.

"
A Morris chair is an early type of reclining chair. The design was adapted by William Morris's firm, Morris & Company from a prototype owned by Ephraim Colman in rural Sussex, England. It was first marketed around 1866.[1]
Chairs that are called "Morris chairs" feature a seat with a reclining back and moderately high armrests, which give the chair an old-style appearance. The characteristic feature of a Morris chair is a hinged back, set between two un-upholstered arms, with the reclining angle adjusted through a row of pegs, holes or notches in each arm." [Wikipedia]
This guy has a nice article on the Berbice Chair.

When GT people come to Berbice they ask "what you have for us". When Berbicians vist them in GT THEY SHAMELESLY ask " What did you bring for us".
Back in the days when you go upstaris at Demico House for a drink all them GT people ordering quarter and half , never a full bottle. As soon as they go Berbice or West Dem /ESSEQUIBO they telly the host buy a big bottle.

A Gt banna went and visit his friend in Berbice. Because of the constant black out by GEC the Berbice family was using a kerosine lamp. During the course of the night the host was overheard saying to his wife "Out the lamp and give me some".
The GT banna went back to Town and tell everyone that Berbicians do drink Kerosine.
