Awards

Nominations being accepted for Anguilla 2008 Awards of Shame. Several of you have sent in suggestions for additional Anguillian awards. Most of them are unprintable. But, you sound very angry. Some of us need to ‘vent’. So, I am inviting those of you who have not yet done so to send me your nominations for the year 2008. Please do not just send a name.
