A night out in Middle England
Apr. 4 | Royal Tunbridge Wells is very familiar to me. Every two weeks I can take a long hard look at the fine architecture of the town as I get stuck in the through traffic on my way down to Lewes. The town of just over 50,000 is one of only three that can...
One beer, two pies, three goals, four minutes
Apr. 1 | In the past two weeks Lewes have dropped 3 points in injury time against teams in the top 3. After the heartbreak of a home draw against Lowestoft Town came the sickening blow of a 93rd minute winner for league leaders Billericay Town last Saturday. However,...

Mar. 25 | Back in the days of Henry VIII when the boat was the only method of continental travel, Tilbury was THE place to be. It was like the Las Vegas of England. It was the hotbed of sin, and the home of the finest culture. Quite simply, everyone who was anyone...

Mar. 14 | Every day millions of Londoners see the imagination, creativity and genius of Harry Beck, yet few know who he is. Harry Beck created one of the most iconic images of London back in 1931 when, as an engineering draftsman in the signalling office at London...
We ate all the pies
Mar. 10 | Peters and Lee, Strawberries and Cream, Katie Price and anyone….Classic partnerships that all the family know and love. For us blokes we could throw in the likes of Pamela and Anderson or Natalia and Velez (what do you mean who??? HER!)…but...
Let the music play on…or not!
Mar. 9 | One of the most amusing match day incidents I see these days at Lewes FC is the battle between our groundsman and one of the directors in what pre-match music is played over the speakers. It has now got to a point where dirty tricks are the order of...
