Why is every tiny event these days called a "fest" or "festival"? A village pub puts 2 local singer/songwriters on under a gazebo in the beer garden and suddenly the Lamb pub in Brightwell has "Lambfest" or "Brightfest". I swear every village in this part of Oxfordshire has at least one, often two "festivals" every year. What ever happened to fairs and fetes?
