"Of all the islands in the Caribbean, we're the most British", proclaims Edwin Lovell, our Bajan driver and guide. His accent showed. Here in this most easterly of the Lesser Antilles chain, the island nation still clings to British ways of afternoon tea, game of cricket, dizzying roundabouts and Anglican faith. Even Queen Elizabeth II is regarded as the country's head of state. Naturally, there's lots of British tourists too. Thank goodness they didn't bring the dreary English weather with them - it's quite sunny as I wade into the warm Scope mouthwash waters of Carlisle Bay. Too bad, Rihanna isn't around.
