Camel Valley in Cornwall produces an award-winning and much-rated sparkling rosé, the Chapel Down Wine Estate of Kent sparklers are similarly highly-acclaimed, whilst  Sussex has a cornucopia of wineries stretching from West to East Sussex. One of the most famous is [...]

His signings Ray Evans, Richard Money, John Beck had fitted in well and young Tony Gale was emerging as a real talent. We took the lead but Blackburn rallied to win 2-1. The [...]

London 2014/2124

Ten years ago I made my momentous decision to leave London for the South Coast. I was born in London and regarded myself as a Londoner. My closest friend- alas now passed – opined that I would be back in 2 years if I could afford the housing prices. I can see the attraction and attractions of [...]

The Tanner Report: Crystal Palace 0 Fulham 2

Fulham, before Marco Silva, had a horrendous record in London derbies but this win made it 2 out of 2 in a week against West London and South London rivals. Once again Harry Wilson scored and had two more chalked-off. That form – and the imminent return to fitness of Sasa Lukic – gives [...]

The Rugby weekend

Harlequins have always operated a productive academy and one of the greatest supporter’s joys in any sport is the emergence of youth talent. Thus on Friday night I watched with utmost interest the game on the Premiership Cup – yet another competition – between Quins and Ealing [...]

FAWLTY TOWERS (THEATRE) – 3 stars out of 5

If under pressure and asked to list a selection of the Top Ten all-time greatest British sit-coms I should imagine that – in no order of excellence – I’d probably be scouting in the territory containing the likes of Steptoe And Son, Porridge, Only Fools And Horses, Till Death Us Do [...]

A la Colthard/Tea at the Grand Brighton

In all the years I have been reviewing for The Rust I have never covered afternoon tea though it is now a popular though not inexpensive experience: Bob Tickler’s charming P/A Polly once paid £200 for tea at a high end London hotel. This may be as hotels are still recovering financially from [...]

The Tanner Report: Everton 1 Fulham 1

There are few things more disappointing than conceding a late goal – just like scoring one is one of the spectator’s greatest joys. A late goal tends to discolour the performance as Fulham played well and deserved to win. Although we are settled mid-table in tenth place the question needs [...]

The charts 1969

It is often said that our generation was lucky to grow up with the music we did – and it’s true. The other day I happened to have my radio pre-tuned to Boom. When I switched it on, the Australian DJ was playing the charts of late 1969 and I was amazed what good music it was. There were four [...]
