    A nice idea to round off the summer vacation, but I wish they would call it something else. Traditionally, "wet fete" has a totally different connotation.

    Bvi has become a "party, fete, carnuval country, everything is about revelling nowadays. Even the Tony children being trained in that mindset. Why send them to school again, just forvthe daycare service?
