      Home girl seems to forget this is not St. Vincent. She needs to tap the brakes and know exactly what time it is up here in VG.

      No joke honestly, all the grandmother had to do was apologize to the person’s foot that she stepped on. It is called manners. This is not st. Vincent where they are accustom to doing S. THIS IS VIRGIN GORDA, BVI BABY, YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE. THIS IS NOT DOWN VINCY.

    Is the princess the ZBVI Quiz kid from the Frances Lettsome Primary School? Well, if it is , I wasn’t expecting nothing less for her introduction because she can articulate very well. Congratulations to all the contestants.

    I must commend the VG Easter committee for their work to get it all done. Up to now there is no Government coverage of any of these functions. We had taste of the BVI up to now no report except from BVI Beacon, Are we part of the BVI?

    Some of these comments are so juvenile they are embarrassing. Stop with the name calling and degrading of another. Congratulate the children for having the chutzpah to step forward and put on a show to entertain us. It is not easy when we have to deal with the garbage that is thrown aground by “grown” folks. This constant hauling and pulling is the reason we will NEVER be able to move forward and improve.
