Claire Rubinstein laments this year’s Father’s Day offerings
As far as celebrations go, Father’s Day seems to be a decidedly tepid affair if the dismal offerings from the High Street are anything to go by.
We’d like to see some more creative, thoughtful ideas this year. So rather than the traditional day-release mandatory trip to B&Q, how about a year’s membership to Spearmint Rhino or a pre-loved Chieftain Battle Tank?

Nothing says: “I don’t give a damn” like a box of Bassetts (as I spotted in Sainsbury’s “No. 1 Dad section”). If that’s the best you can do, proceed to life’s departure lounge, put your (novelty-socked) feet up and slip into a sugar coma.
