"Even the shorts have rules here'' by John Westbrooke appeared in the Weekend Financial Times.

The article targets the colours of the Island's vegetation, sky, sand and sea -- plus that of its buildings.

Its small size and remote location also get mentioned as does its susceptibility to storms and the fear of what might happen to some of its low-lying islands should one of the polar ice caps melt too much.

Mr. Westbrooke stresses the Britishness of the Island -- "British? More so than Britain in many ways,'' he wrote.

And he notes the strong international business sector and tourism industry, which is registering steady visitor arrival numbers, but is seeing more visitors coming on cruise ships which is why hotels are closing, the story said.

Activities mentioned in the article include cruising the harbour in the evening on Mike Gladwin's motor yacht, visiting St. George's and the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, scuba diving, glass-bottom boating and helmet-diving.
