What's the difference between a fete and a fair?

and have been very helpful to Lexi lately by helping her improve her conversational English, but their latest session threw up a question that even the dynamic duo couldn’t answer – what’s the different between a “fête” and a “fair”?

Luckily, our ever-reliable listeners took up the baton and provided some explanations of their own.

Point of distinction #1: Knitted loo roll covers

Point of distinction #2: Tat

Point of distinction #3: Oiks

Basically, it's a question of hierarchy...

Or semantics...

Is this really an appropriate question to be asking Roy, anyway?

Fortunately, there were even some listeners who took the question seriously...

Unfortunately, consensus has not been reached and this is all likely to leave Lexi more confused than ever. Like The Case of the Missing Bunting, this one may have to remain unsolved for now…
