YOUR correspondent is right to emphasise the importance of correct grammar ("Editor taken to task by reader for his grammar", Derby Telegraph, October 3).

Even the editor, Neil White, is allowed to make the odd grammatical mistake. We all do it from time to time. No-one is word-perfect!

On the positive side, Neil should be appreciated for his regular Monday articles in the Derby Telegraph. I especially found his piece of Auschwitz concentration camp after a personal visit very moving and thoroughly enjoy reading his article about a journey to India this year.

Thoughts such as: "You broke your promise to the students, so I don't trust you." Also: "We will support charities, but in fact you cut their support and want to give tax cuts to the wealthy."

As well as: "You have proved consistently you can't be trusted with the economy."

Then there's the new party: "Well you are just a one-issue group of xenophobes."

The cynic within me sadly speaks again and again with the words: "You just can't trust any of them, they all break their promises."

I wonder, am I alone in thinking like this? Cynicism sadly takes the place of simple trust, as human governments fail again and again.

Sometimes these promises are broken through no deliberate fault on the part of the politicians. I am sure nobody who comes into politics does so with the intention of breaking promises.

However, thankfully, there is one in whom I have put my faith and trust whose good government I can fully trust. My experience of walking in the way of Jesus has been one where his promise that, "never would he leave me, never would he forsake me" has been proven time and time again. Even if it has meant that it took me a while to realise that his apparent silence does not mean his absence.

It is often in our most desperate of times that the reality of God's faithfulness to his promises are proved. Unseen and unrecognised, every day the sun rises and sets, crops are sown and harvested and our planet continuously produces life.

Perhaps this Harvest Festival you would like to thank God for keeping all his promises to you this year. Maybe even call at your local church to inquire on how you can get to know better this promise keeping God. I know who gets my vote.

IF there are regular readers of this column – and I'm led to believe there are a few – then some of them may splutter into their pint at the idea that this week's column is about the Crewe and Harpur at Swarkestone.

It perhaps doesn't fit the typical real ale drinker's profile, being a large, food-led Marston's house. But then, perhaps there is no longer a "typical" real ale drinker, as the latest annual Cask Ale Report reveals that cask beer continues to be the fastest – arguably only – grower in the drinks market year on year.

My own experiences of the Crewe and Harpur have not always been positive, not least from when my daughter worked there some years ago. Old impressions stay with you, even though the people running it then have long moved on. Acquiring a bad reputation is quick and easy. Losing one is hard.

But, and it's a big but, the Crewe and Harpur is a lot different to the sort of edge-of-town modern food pubs Marston's is so fond of building and I think the brewery recognises this.

For a start, it has real history, as a converted 17th century coach house which still does accommodation. It's huge and sprawling. You keep turning corners and there are more and more tables. I'm struck by this with every visit and it means you can usually find a quiet spot.

And of course, as anyone who's been there in the summer will know, it is blessed with one of the biggest beer gardens anywhere.

All of this is fine but it wouldn't have had me rushing back just to drink Pedigree or the sadly emasculated Hobgoblin. I hadn't been in for more than two years.

However, a couple of weeks ago, I dropped in while out cycling. To my astonishment and delight, there was Jennings Mild on the bar. I do wish people wouldn't automatically turn their noses up at the word "mild" or at the fact it is only a beer of 3.1%.

Jennings Mild remains one of Britain's great drinks – dark, rich and chocolatey – and that has not diminished since the Lake District brewery became part of the Marston's empire.

There were five cask beers on the bar and, while the mild had gone, there were five the next time I popped in as well. And last week, another treat. A pump clip offering Rye Pale Ale, with the explanation that Marston's is experimenting with craft brews: look out for pump clips with the Revisionist range.

This is a marvellous beer, with a huge hoppy aroma bursting off the top of it, a little darker than perhaps I'd expected from something described as a pale ale but with loads of dry, citrusy flavour.

Chris Overall, who looks after the cellar at the pub (his wife Lynne Taylor is the manager), can't understand why more Marston's managers and tenants don't take advantage of the relatively wide range of specials and guest beers offered by the brewery.

"Perhaps they're scared that they won't last but modern cask beers have a longer shelf life than they used to," he says. "I like to keep them in the cellar a while before I put them on."

Around about now, one of the guest beers is going to be Oyster Stout, another superb beer that Marston's doesn't brew often enough. Catch it while you can.

Colin and Lynne have been at the Crewe and Harpur for two-and-a-half years. They have made it a better pub than I remember.

WANT to get involved? We're featuring the views of Derby beer enthusiasts each week.

This is what I'm after:

● Tell me a draught beer you think no-one should miss out on, preferably one that can be found in Derbyshire at least sometimes.

● Tell me a pub you think has to be visited... within reasonable reach.

● And when you have a drink at home, which bottled beer is such a cracker that you think others should try it? Where can it be bought?

This week I'm stying in-house for the views of seasoned ale enthusiast Martin Naylor, the Telegraph's crime correspondent.

A BOTTLED BEER 

Hawkshead Brewery's Lakeland Gold. My favourite beers are those brewed in the Lake District and this 4.4% fruity golden ale is up there at the top of the pile..

A DRAUGHT BEER 

Castle Rock Black Gold – a 3.8% mild that describe by its brewers as "Nottingham's dark secret". A subtle and caramelly session beer that never falls down in quality wherever you drink it.

A GREAT PUB

Pattenmakers Arms, Duffield. Always a pleasure to enjoy a pint in here after a long walk. Friendly staff, good, wholesome food, and a decent range of real ales to try.

"SHE'S dead, wrapped in plastic."

So said actor Jack Nance in one of the first scenes of the first episode on the cult TV programme Twin Peaks.

Sitting around a battered television in the first shared house I ever lived in, my housemates and I were gripped from that moment.

Over the next few episodes creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost introduced viewers to the most weird and wonderful set of characters that would leave indelible marks on millions of minds.

The log lady, the petrifying Killer Bob, one-eyed martial arts expert Nadine Hurley and the investigating FBI officer Special Agent Dale Cooper, with his love of coffee and cherry pie.

Twin Peaks was, for want of a better phrase, was my generation's version of Breaking Bad, The Wire or Boardwalk Empire.

A vogueish American drama series that threw out fresh and intertwining stories each episode that even now, 25 years on, I'd struggle to remember which one's reached a conclusion and which one's are still unsolved.

Now, hopefully, some of them will see their loose ends tied up after Lynch and Frost this week revealed that filming will begin next year for nine new episodes that will air in 2016.

And I can't wait.

For the uninitiated, Twin Peaks started as a basic who-dunnit.

Laura Palmer, the local beauty queen in the Washington State town - population 51,201 – was found dead (wrapped in plastic, of course) in the river.

Her life, on the surface, seemed idyllic. She volunteered at "Meals on Wheels" and was engaged to the college football captain Bobby Briggs.

However, as the first series unfolded, her seedy double-life was slowly revealed.

She was a cocaine user, a victim of child abuse and had briefly worked at One Eyed Jacks, a brothel and casino.

Lynch's and Frost's writing and direction dragged us all in at 110 St Andrews Road, Bristol, where I was living in 1990, and a lively house fell silent every time it was broadcast almost 25 years ago.

Weeks later, the first series ended and we were left wondering quite what was going on.

Like much of David Lynch's work, the series explored the gulf between small-town respectability and the seedier layers of life lurking beneath it.

And millions of us drank it in.

To counteract that, of course, there were also millions of people who hated the show at the time.

As with every programme, it has its backlash, with one mate of mine calling it "pretentious tosh that never finished any of its stories".

This week a pal of mine on Facebook, speaking of the announcement of the new episodes, wrote: "I can't wait for Twin Peaks to come back so that I can happily live my life not watching it, just like the last ones".

And I understand that. After all, there are hundreds of programmes I've tried watching and following over the years about which I feel the same.

But there's something about those characters – Windom Earle, the backwards-speaking dwarf and the giant who comes to Agent Cooper in a dream and tells him "the owls are not what they seem" - that will draw me back in.

So fire up the percolator and get me "a damn fine cup of Joe" because I'm ready to hear that theme music again and immerse myself back into David Lynch's wonderful world.

FIREFIGHTERS were called to a tumble dryer fire at a Derbyshire home. 

Fire crews from Kingsway and Tutbury were called to the blaze in Egginton Road, Hilton, at about 1.35pm on Saturday. 

They extinguished the fire before leaving at about 2.30pm. 

A CAP has been put on the amount of taxpayers' money that city councillors can spend on posting mail after it emerged that the total had "risen considerably".

Derby City Council leader Labour's Ranjit Banwait said the move followed a period when there had been no budget for members' mail. The cap has been set at £350. Mr Banwait said: "Nothing has been done wrong by councillors but we've got to be responsible and consistent."

UKIP councillor Alan Graves said the cap was needed because councillors had been sending out "mass mail, using resources that could have been used elsewhere in the community".

There was previously a £500 cap on each councillors' postage but this was removed in 2010-11 when the council's postal budget was centralised so it was no longer possible to easily separate spending on members' mail from any other outgoing council mail.

The new system will require a separate log to be kept.

A report on the matter makes it clear that councillors now cannot use Royal Mail to "distribute standard letters on a large scale, sent to 'the resident'" or for "ward-wide mailing of surgery notices."

Accepted uses include welcome letters to those newly on the electoral register and street or small area consultations or surveys.

NIALLE Rodney almost kept Ilkeston in the FA Cup against Conference North side Stockport County.

Trailing 1-0, new Robins striker Rodney thought he had equalised in the 80th minute at Edgeley Park but was denied by the woodwork.

His low shot hit the base of the post and bounced away as the Hatters held on for a place in the next round thanks to Scott Spencer's 72nd-minute strike.

"As soon as it left my foot and went under the keeper, I thought it was a goal, 100%," said Rodney.

"It was awful when it came out.

"The team did so well and I think we dominated the game."

That was the closest Ilkeston came to scoring against the Hatters, who were a prominent Football League club a decade ago.

It was a bitter defeat in front of 2,562 fans, particularly for captain Joe Maguire, who led by brilliant example at the back.

"At half-time, we were quite happy at nil-nil," said Maguire.

"That is what we wanted and I thought we were the better side, especially in the second half.

"When we hit the post, I could not believe it did not go in. I turned to celebrate.

"Everyone is gutted. We thought it would be a tough game, with us having to ride the pressure, but it was not like that."

Maguire inspired his side, average age 19, and ensured they were never overawed, although County fizzed a few efforts near the Ilkeston goal.

When the Robins got forward, it was often thanks to midfielder David Morgan and marauding left-back Kieran Wallace.

After the break, the game began to spread out and the only goal arrived in the 72nd minute.

A loose ball in midfield was seized by Kristian Dennis, who played in substitute Spencer.

He knocked the ball low past Ilkeston keeper Jordan Smith, the first time his goal was seriously threatened.

After Rodney's unlucky moment, Spencer nearly squeezed the ball in for a second but was denied by the late intervention of Akil Wright, forming a solid defence with Maguire and Jack Lane, who made many vital blocks.

But even in the three added minutes, Ilkeston might have scored as Kane Richards zoomed around. Che Adams got through, only for keeper Danny Hurst to save at his feet.

Ilkeston chairman Dave Mantle described it as a "brilliant performance" and the 250 visiting fans were praised by Stockport stewards for their good humour and behaviour.

Robins manager Kevin Wilson added: "I am proud of them. If we play like that for 90% of the season, we will do well.

"The most positive thing is we have dominated a Conference North side."

Wilson now prepares his squad for tonight's Evo-Stik Premier Division home game against Halesowen (7.45pm).
