British Gas/ parts 4 and 5

I honestly thought I would not be boring you on the ongoing saga of British Gas and that after the appointment was made yesterday morning for an electrician to repair the damage to circuitry they caused that would be the end of the affair. I had severely underestimated their gross inefficiency. At [...]

What do I know?

When I first was approached to write for the Rust I raised the question of reporting accuracy. We are not a national newspaper where facts are checked and copy ‘leagled’. I was concerned I might make some factual error. The editor told me not to worry as firstly it’s unlikely that [...]

Watching cricket at Tunbridge Wells

Yesterday I went for the first time to the Nevill Ground, Tunbridge Wells to see the first day of a championship match between Sussex and Kent. I had been told it was one of the most beautiful grounds in the country but that hardly prepared me for it. It’s situated in a park and totally [...]

The golfing weekend.

Both European and US PGA events were determined by play offs. Alvaro Quiros whose recent form was so bad he nearly lost his card squandered a 7 shot lead largely through nerves to Zander Lombard but beat the South African in a play off. Over at Texas, the Byron Nelson played out on the Four Seasons [...]
