Electricity

I need to settle an argument with a buddy. I told him, there was no central electricity in Cane Garden Bay until about 1975 or 1980. He said no way. I said yes, way, Tortola was very slow to get central electricity. If you wanted a blender drink in those days the power came from a small generator or a car battery with an inverter. Can someone please settle this ?

In 1979 I recall waiting for Pop Rhymer to start up the generator so they could run the kitchen for dinner.
