At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

  

The World Cup: 7/10 

Because we watched in droves. It was the biggest TV audience of the year for anything, and we believed we were in with a chance. 

  

Rugby: 3/10 

The World Cup's biggest loser. They are killing the game with rules and zealous officialdom. 

  

Mike Pence: 4/10 

Another one bites the dust but the fact it’s an ex-Vice President tells you the effect Trump has had on his party. 

  

Votes: 9/10 

Because today is the day, at last. 

  

The Electoral Commission: 5/10 

I only have sympathy for them because, as we found out, it's the law. They are following the law. 

  

Craft beer: 4/10 

Fads are not a business and a lot of people going “Hey, I can do that” does not a bottom line make. 

  

Supie: 4/10 

The irony was the receiver told us how competitive the market was, and yet, the Government has told us it's not competitive enough. Which is it? 

  

Hackney Diamonds: 8/10 

Number one in the UK, Germany and Australia. Genius never gets old.
