TOM UTLEY: After writing for 50 years, this is my last column. So why did one of my greatest triumphs involve what I thought was a bunch of demented housewives?
28/11/25 12:59
Someone asked me the other day to name the proudest achievements of my 50-year career in journalism. I found it a hard one to answer, since I have never covered a war, exposed a great scandal or had an important scoop. Indeed, I've spent most of my working life writing about the humdrum trials and tribulations of ordinary family life and the comedy of the human condition. But two minor triumphs did come to my mind, and since this is to be my final weekly offering before I retire on my 72nd birthday tomorrow, I hope that readers will try to forgive me for boasting if I recount them here....read
TOM UTLEY: We 70-something chaps have a duty to speak up for each other (even if it's Peter Mandelson in yet another spot of bother)
20/11/25 11:24These are words I never thought I'd write, but I felt a pang of sympathy for Peter Mandelson when it was confirmed he could face a £300 fine after he was caught relieving himself in the street.
A porch pirate nabbed every parcel in our street - then police swooped on our neighbour and you'll never guess what happened next: TOM UTLEY

06/11/25 10:08Amid the fevered speculation over the nightmare Rachel Reeves has in store for us all in her Budget later this month, you can bet your shirt on one tax rise that is all but a certainty.
TOM UTLEY: I run out of bags when I take little Minnie for walkies, so will some jobsworth clobber me with a £100 fine, too?
30/10/25 11:23First, a trigger warning to readers who share my profound squeamishness where certain bodily functions are concerned: what follows will reference the bowel habits of our mongrel Minnie.
TOM UTLEY: £180,000 a year to teach a child to be an English gentleman? By the time he grows up, that species won't exist
24/10/25 12:09My first thought when I read that a foreign businessman and his wife are seeking a £180,000-a-year tutor to turn their son into an 'English gentleman' was: 'Wow! Nice work if you can get it!'
TOM UTLEY: Imagine the furore if Dame Mary Beard had celebrated the demise of 'thicko black rugger buggers' at Cambridge!
16/10/25 11:58Explaining why she thought Cambridge had become a more intelligent university since she and I were there in the 1970s, the celebrity classicist Dame Mary Beard came out with a remark...
TOM UTLEY: Are today's young really so pathetic they need help telling the difference between Rioja and Ribena?
09/10/25 10:17During my misspent youth there were more occasions than I care to remember when I would stagger to work in the morning with the mother and father of all hangovers.
TOM UTLEY: It's cruel and immoral of Reeves not to tell us whether she plans to snatch away tax-free pension lump sums
03/10/25 12:33On the advice of my financial planners, this week I joined the stampede to grab a tax-free lump sum from my pension pot before next month's Budget , which so many of us dread.
TOM UTLEY: How have I taken only four days off sick in 50 years? Starting each morning with a cryptic crossword - and ignoring all health experts' advice
12/09/25 12:27Haven't we always been taught that doing crosswords is an excellent way of exercising the brain as we age, keeping it sharp and staving off dementia?
TOM UTLEY: If the Budget wrecks our retirement dream, perhaps Mrs U and I should use Angela's tax adviser - and hope we don't get caught!
05/09/25 12:46These are words I never thought I'd write, but I have a grain of sympathy for Angela Rayner in her current plight.
TOM UTLEY: Why I keep telling my son that marrying the lovely mother of his children will make him, her (and me) happier
29/08/25 12:00You may well say it's absolutely no business of mine whether or not our grown-up third son and the mother of his two children should choose to get married.
TOM UTLEY: From the bliss of my own bed to a decent cuppa... why the best part of any holiday is the heart-lifting relief of coming HOME
21/08/25 11:23Oh, how heartily I agree with the 52 per cent who say one of the best parts of going away on holiday is returning to the comforts of home. My only quibble is that it's the best part, bar none.
TOM UTLEY: I was once fiercely proud of being a Londoner born and bred. But as Sturgeon seeks greener pastures and after nine years of the Khan Terror, Mrs U and I are thinking the unthinkable...
15/08/25 12:42Nicola Sturgeon, former First Minister of Scotland, who has spent her entire life fighting for Scottish independence and slagging off evil England, now says she's thinking of leaving her native land.
TOM UTLEY: As a lapsed Catholic, I'm in no position to lecture anyone about religion. But Kemi's reasons for rejecting God strike me as frankly preposterous
08/08/25 12:28A few years ago I received a borderline-blasphemous birthday card, which I have to admit made me chuckle. I thought of that card when I heard Kemi Badenoch's explanation of why she had 'rejected God'.
TOM UTLEY: The old lie that private schools are stuffed with posh, rich kids may turn into reality when Labour's VAT raid drives away strivers like the Utleys
18/07/25 12:33ON the day 19 years ago when I accepted a job offer from the Daily Mail I took the youngest of our four sons aside and told him that I could at last afford to send him to Dulwich College
TOM UTLEY: I no longer have the slightest wish to 'save' the decaying NHS. But, for the sake of our mental health, please leave our pubs alone

TOM UTLEY: I like an honest pint, the Isle of Wight and Tim Henman. Am I next for a Lifetime Achievement Award in Dullness?
04/07/25 12:18Raise a glass with me today to Peter Hansen, 85, worthy winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award presented by The Dull Man's Podcast for that most admirable of qualities, dullness.
TOM UTLEY: Please don't ask me to rate my Airbnb hostess whose house was full of anti-Tory cartoons and even a Rishi 'Dope on a Rope' soap
26/06/25 11:27Aren't you heartily fed up with those constant demands to 'rate and review your experience' every time you buy anything on the internet, book tickets for a theatre or read a book on Kindle?
TOM UTLEY: At 71, I'm mortified when people offer me a seat on the train... but I'm furious when they don't. That's growing old for you!
20/06/25 01:04One of nine signs that we're growing old, I read somewhere this week, is a feeling of embarrassment when people start offering us their seats on buses and trains.
TOM UTLEY: Mrs U has a self-imposed hosepipe ban. But I don't know why she bothers when Thames Water wastes more than half a BILLION litres every day
06/06/25 12:04When it comes to conserving water, my darling wife is a veritable eco-fanatic. She can't bear to see a single drop go to waste.
TOM UTLEY: Susie, the serene goddess of Countdown, has thrown in the towel - but I'm still manning the barricades against the language louts!
30/05/25 12:14Just as Caesar thought his friend Brutus was the last man on Earth who would betray him, so I imagined Susie Dent would defend to her final breath the correct pronunciation of common English words.
TOM UTLEY: My 275-mile taxi ride in India ended with the driver in tears - but it was a happier ending than David Lammy's
15/05/25 11:06There is no room here to describe in full the profoundly moving experience of that taxi ride - my first proper vision of real poverty and the chasm between the First World and the Third.
TOM UTLEY: AI believes my niece Olivia is my mother AND my grandmother. So it's not half as smart as its champions claim
08/05/25 10:57TOM UTLEY: Through the miracle of Artificial Intelligence, I came across a most remarkable snippet of information this week. It concerns the way in which I'm related to my neice.
TOM UTLEY: Mrs U's £55 parking fine meant that, for once, SHE looked silly. I paid up - it was cheap at the price for the joy of seeing her blush!
02/05/25 12:36The other day my darling wife, and fellow technophobe, finally joined the brave new world of the smartphone parking app. It was to prove a costly experience.
TOM UTLEY: It's ironic but my abject failure to match my father's stellar university career set me up for life...
25/04/25 01:06One of my late father's proudest moments came when the Cambridge authorities posted the results of the history finals on the notice boards outside Senate House.
Cash-hungry councils are crushing the life out of neighbourhoods like mine - with green stealth taxes on drivers: TOM UTLEY
18/04/25 12:31TOM UTLEY: One of the chief attractions of my suburb is the free and available on-street parking most of us enjoy - an increasingly rare bonus for a neighbourhood within half an hour of the centre.
My progeny were all Lefties as teenagers. But here's why Starmer might regret giving the vote to 16-year-olds: TOM UTLEY
11/04/25 12:35There was one commitment I prayed Sir Keir Starmer would quietly ditch, in the way that he has abandoned so many others since he came to office: his pledge to lower the voting age to 16
TOM UTLEY: We British really do use polite-isms, even the angry down-and-out who insisted I gave him a fag snarled, 'Thanks, have a nice day'
04/04/25 12:21All Britons know that when our fellow countrymen start a sentence 'With great respect...', they mean that they think the person they're speaking to is a prize idiot who is talking pure rubbish...
TOM UTLEY: Why I'll no longer need that WWI gas mask I wore to change my son's nappy if I'm called on to do the same for my grandchildren
27/03/25 11:23TOM UTLEY: One of the strangest presents we've ever been given was a World War I gas mask, in its original cylindrical canister, presented to us in 1990 for our 10th (tin) wedding anniversary.
TOM UTLEY: Thanks to my craven weakness for booze and fags, my personal inflation rate is treble what most people pay
20/03/25 11:34TOM UTLEY: How much do you tend to spend on yoga mats? What about virtual reality headsets, mangoes or pool sliders? If you're anything like me, your answer will be 'not a penny'.
My son and I disagree strongly on most things - but now that he's moved out, I can't stop missing him
14/03/25 11:45I'm glad that my youngest is moving out, but it feels strange to buy so little at the supermarket. The freezer is bursting with food, and I have no one to walk the dog when I can't be bothered.
TOM UTLEY: Why I can't share the general joy that there are now more women doctors than men. Even though, at 71, I may need one sooner than I think
07/03/25 02:01All the figures I've seen suggest that compared with women, male physicians give us considerably more in return for the six-figure sum it costs to train a doctor.
TOM UTLEY: Of all life's small wins, nothing beats hearing those rarest of words: Yes, darling, you were right and I was wrong!
27/02/25 09:57TOM UTLEY: At a time when the news from home and abroad gets bleaker by the day, we've never been more in need of those everyday pleasures and minor triumphs.
TOM UTLEY: My message to the lady who snubbed me at a dinner party for having four children: go forth and multiply!
21/02/25 01:04This was the week Nigel Farage put his finger on the most serious problem facing our country, with deeply worrying implications for everything my generation was brought up to hold dear.
TOM UTLEY: They say you are what you drive... lucky no one told Mrs U when I wooed her in my aunt's ancient Morris Minor!
14/02/25 01:01TOM UTLEY: A news item this week brought flooding back the day in 1979 when I took the gorgeous new barmaid at my local pub on our first proper date.
TOM UTLEY: I haven't set foot in my old Cambridge college for years. So why do I feel such irrational shame when drunken students run amok?
07/02/25 12:27Like so many others, I felt a wave of nausea on reading this week of the disgusting mess left for the cleaners to clear up when drunken students ran amok at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge .
TOM UTLEY: Memo to the Utley boys: I regret to inform you the local branch of the Bank of Mum and Dad has closed down
31/01/25 01:33Few parents reading this will be surprised to learn that the Bank of Mum and Dad is fast running short of funds, with gifts of cash to help the young get on the housing ladder taking a tumble.
TOM UTLEY: If Keir Starmer skipped a few dinner parties and went to the pub he might think - and speak - less like a lawyer and more like a human being
24/01/25 12:00TOM UTLEY: Do you realise that every time you eat at your local pub, you are subsidising the dinner-party-going classes?
TOM UTLEY: For once in our long marriage, Mrs U was the sinner, not me. I had no choice but to play copper's nark and grass her up to the Old Bill
17/01/25 12:35TOM UTLEY: Nobody loves a snitch, I know, but this week I found myself in the deeply uncomfortable position of having to play copper's nark
TOM UTLEY: I dream of wolfing down a full English. So why do I only have coffee and cigarettes for breakfast every day?
10/01/25 01:54For me, the great joy of staying in a rural B&B or country hotel is the thought of a slap-up full English breakfast in the morning. The thought of it, mind, but never the reality.
TOM UTLEY: A smartwatch that nags me to quit smoking when I pick up a cigarette? I'd rather it told Mrs U how to use the TV remote
03/01/25 01:34Another new year, another dramatic report calculated to scare the nation's smokers into kicking our filthy habit. This one comes from University College London.
TOM UTLEY: My resolutions for 2025? A hearing aid and perhaps dentures after my first visit to the dentist in 30 years!
27/12/24 01:53As the alcoholic haze of Christmas begins to clear, and yet another New Year looms, I fear it may be time for me to confront one or two uncomfortable truths about the indignities of growing older.
TOM UTLEY: Prince Andrew appears to be a mix of stupidity, arrogance and lack of self-awareness. So why do I feel sorry for him?
20/12/24 01:31Every Christmas I remember a ticking-off from my late mother-in-law, an observant Roman Catholic, after I'd jeered at some celebrity for being as thick as brandy butter.
TOM UTLEY: If you see me at a party this Christmas, feel free to sexually harass me or mock my great age. I could do with the compensation cheque!
13/12/24 02:08Have you been missed off the list of invitees to the office party this Christmas? If so, you could be in for a handsome bonus. So suggests the country's biggest civil service union.
TOM UTLEY: The infuriating reason every Christmas at the Utleys begins with smiles... and ends with blood on the carpet
05/12/24 11:22TOM UTLEY: The numbers get bigger every year, as our ever-growing family squashes round the table in a house that comfortably seats only six.
TOM UTLEY: Mrs U's unpaid granny duties prove families do a damn sight better job of caring than a Socialist State ever will
21/11/24 10:40TOM UTLEY: On Tuesday this week, and again on Wednesday, Mrs U braved the icy dawn to trek across London and put in a nine-hour day of free childcare for grandchild number three.
TOM UTLEY: For the first time ever, I'm cheering on a Labour council now the People's Republic of Haringey is charging drivers of Chelsea tractors more to park
15/11/24 01:56For once I heartily applaud a Labour council's plan to crack down on motorists. I'm thinking of this week's news of the proposal by Haringey to introduce higher parking charges for larger cars.
TOM UTLEY: At least all those Garys and Noras who hate their names weren't known to their families as Tommy Townmouse!
08/11/24 01:38When I reached the grand old age of 12, I put my foot down and insisted that from that moment on, my name would be Tom. Up until then, all my family and friends had called me Tommy.
TOM UTLEY: Like the Italian man who can't recall a thing since 1980, I fear Labour will make us all feel we've woken up 44 years ago
01/11/24 02:00How would it feel to wake up from a coma, convinced the year is 1980, only to be told it is actually 2019 - and you have no memory of anything that has happened?
TOM UTLEY: Pious pep talks, queues to Timbuktu, and being made to feel a nuisance - no wonder men of my age swerve the sclerotic NHS
25/10/24 01:01All week I've been afflicted by a pernicious bug, which our one remaining resident son brought home from the school where he teaches Spanish.
TOM UTLEY: John Torode. Gregg Wallace. Wynne Evans. How long until my pub chums and I are the next chaps of a certain vintage to be hauled before the court of political correctness?
17/10/24 10:29TOM UTLEY: One after another over recent days, those brought up in the era of Benny Hill, the Carry On films and Till Death Us Do Part have fallen foul of today's fashionable rules.
TOM UTLEY: Don't even try to play My Way as I lie on my deathbed. I don't want to add murder to my list of deadly sins...
10/10/24 11:33TOM UTLEY: Don't tell my sons, but a sure way to increase my suffering and hasten my departure from this world would be to play me Frank Sinatra's version of My Way, on a loop.
TOM UTLEY: After messaging my female boss about a nude wrestling match, I know how Laura Kuenssberg feels!
04/10/24 12:58One of the most shameful moments of my career came decades ago, when I composed a somewhat smutty message to a colleague who shared my sense of humour - and sent it to the wrong person.
TOM UTLEY: Why I reckon 'every pensioner in the country will be better off with Labour' is Starmer's biggest whopper of all
27/09/24 01:17Apart from his stirring demand for the return of the sausages from Gaza, one passage stood out from Sir Keir Starmer's vacuous blustering to the Labour Party conference this week.
TOM UTLEY: No wonder Starmer looks so bewildered behind his freebie specs when he's presiding over this circus of clowns
20/09/24 12:48Those of us who saw David Lammy embarrassing himself on Celebrity Mastermind in 2008, would have been astonished to be told that this man would one day become Foreign Secretary.
TOM UTLEY: I'm an OAP with a family home, a private pension, a car and a smoking habit. Am I being paranoid, or has this vengeful Government got it in for me personally?
13/09/24 12:41It seems clear Sir Keir and the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves are pushing through their most painful measures so as to get the worst out of the way while they can still blame the Tories.
TOM UTLEY: Why is it so easy to say sorry - except on the occasions when we're really at fault?
06/09/24 12:59As I walked down to the station in the rain yesterday morning, a young woman came towards me on the pavement, clutching an umbrella in one hand while staring at the smartphone.
TOM UTLEY: I sometimes think my dog Minnie is utterly stupid - but she's smart enough to try to stop me forcing her to sit in the pub for hours
16/08/24 01:07When my wife was growing up in Scotland, her father's Alsatian used to escort her and her four older sisters to their primary school every morning, unaccompanied by an adult.
TOM UTLEY: Nothing I learned on my Speed Awareness Course has persuaded me that 20mph zones are anything but a scam to fleece motorists
09/08/24 01:10I remain convinced that officialdom's recent enthusiasm for 20mph zones has a lot more to do with greed for motorists' money than any concern for safety.
TOM UTLEY: I'm lucky not to need winter fuel payments, but millions do. The Chancellor's blunderbuss policy is simply inhumane
02/08/24 01:48One January some years ago I received a real jaw-dropper of an email from my dear friend and former colleague, the late journalist and author Graham Lord
TOM UTLEY: I can't help feeling Charlotte Dujardin is being made a scapegoat to appease fanatics seeking to ban her sublime sport
26/07/24 01:46I can't help feeling a sharp twinge of sympathy for Charlotte Dujardin. It seems to me that the dressage champion has been punished with disproportionate severity.
TOM UTLEY: Why would I want a new wonder drug that would let me live long enough to see my grandkids grow up?
18/07/24 11:08Why is it that so many people say they want to live long enough to see their grandchildren grow up? Speaking for myself, I love our four just the way they are, with their ages ranging from one to six.
TOM UTLEY: The photo that taught me life's most valuable lesson: Try to be cool and you'll end up looking ridiculous
12/07/24 12:02TOM UTLEY: It's a lesson that most of us learn as the years roll by: if we want to pass the test of time, we should dare to be uncool - and avoid anything that smacks of a trend.
TOM UTLEY: I haven't voted for a winning candidate for 44 years. But I love everything about the polling booth - starting with the pencil stub on the end of a string!
05/07/24 02:12Nick Robinson will not thank me for reminding readers that just before the result of the 2010 Labour leadership election was announced, he said that David Miliband was about to emerge victorious.
TOM UTLEY: I've driven nearly every day for 53 years and never had a prang or speeding ticket. But I stand before you as a reckless boy racer clocked at... 26mph!
28/06/24 01:12One of my favourite books was A. P. Herbert's hilarious collection of Punch columns, Uncommon Law, which was later adapted as the hit BBC comedy series, Misleading Cases.
TOM UTLEY: With Starmer PM of a virtual one-party socialist state I, for one, will feel a great deal safer with a monarch on the throne to remind him who's boss
21/06/24 01:26Many will have agreed heartily with George Galloway, the former Labour MP and cat-impersonator when he called this week for a referendum on the abolition of the monarchy
My parents were so hard up my mother used a milk bottle as a rolling pin. Does that qualify me to be PM!
14/06/24 01:15First, a disgraceful confession: when I was growing up in the 1960s, I was deeply ashamed of my parents' comparative poverty.
TOM UTLEY: Chilling. Creepy. Inhuman. Starmer's NO to private healthcare was the moment we saw the cold-blooded Socialist ideologue he really is
07/06/24 01:09By far the most revealing moment of this week's election debate, in my book, had nothing to do with the row over tax or the two leaders' competing efforts to bribe us with imaginary money.
TOM UTLEY: The liberating week when I discovered what it is that dogs, mobile phones and wives have in common
31/05/24 01:30For the first time I can remember since I acquired a mobile phone, I forgot to take mine with me when I went to a swanky lunch in London the other day, while my wife stayed at home to look after the dog.
TOM UTLEY: He enjoys his mother's home cooking and the freedom of the fridge. But, call me an idiot, I can't bring myself to charge my 30-year-old son rent
10/05/24 01:15A colleague tells me that when she was 30 she went on a date with a man of her age. When she asked him where he lived, he replied he lived at home with his mother, and she gave him a quizzical look.
TOM UTLEY: The best thing about the Garrick? Stingy guests like me don't have to pay for their grub. Feminists wanting membership should be careful what they wish for
03/05/24 12:55Cancel me, burn me in effigy, do what you will, but I hope members of the Garrick Club will find the courage to uphold a tradition almost two centuries old.
TOM UTLEY: A total of SEVEN police officers have now helped investigate my burglary. Call me a terrible cynic, but did they Google my name?
26/04/24 12:50A month after our burglary, the detective in charge of our case emailed to say she had reviewed CCTV from a supermarket which showed a woman using my wife's stolen bank card on the day of our burglary.
To the non-smokers who back Rishi's ban I say: Just wait till they outlaw the one little pleasure YOU enjoy
19/04/24 12:51One of the nicest men I've known died on Tuesday, a couple of months short of his 67th birthday and just a week after I enjoyed a last pint with him.
TOM UTLEY: I bet those Gen-Zers couldn't tell you why a right-handed gentleman should always sleep on the left side of the bed...
12/04/24 12:53If we're to believe a poll out this week, old-fashioned table manners will soon be consigned to history. A survey found that 60 per cent of Gen Z think table manners are no longer important.
TOM UTLEY: Every marriage is made up of a hoarder and a de-clutterer. I've long resisted Mrs U's urge to bin my stuff, but now she's on the offensive!
05/04/24 12:43Oddly, my wife doesn't share my view of the need to cling on to stuff that may be useful one day. But then every marriage is made up of one partner who is a hoarder, while the other is a de-clutterer.
TOM UTLEY: The response my wife and I have had to our burglary proves most Britons are kind and full of compassion
29/03/24 01:47Readers who have suffered the same fate will understand just how unsettling it is to know that intruders have been in our homes, helping themselves to our belongings as we slept.
TOM UTLEY: Someone broke in as we slept upstairs. Don't let anyone tell you that burglary is just a minor offence
22/03/24 01:56It was our resident son who discovered that we'd been burgled, when he got up shortly after 6.30am. . Downstairs, he found the front door wide open, as were the drawers in the hall table.
TOM UTLEY: From vet bills to LTNs, net zero and puberty blockers... finally our rulers have woken up to my wisdom!
14/03/24 09:48There have been times over the past few decades when I felt my modest efforts to influence public policy were a pointless waste of paper and ink.
TOM UTLEY: This was a bad Budget for pensioners, particularly those of us who keep working. But everything could be about to get ten times worse...
08/03/24 01:4412.6million pensioners will not gain a penny from Jeremy Hunt's 2p cut in the rate of National Insurance - the second such reduction in less than four months
