The message
from "Ged" contains these words:

can anyone suggest a reliable grape that will grow in the southeast U.K. on
a south facing wall,

Black Hamburg. There was one running wild in the place we moved to in
1950, and I cropped it (admitedly small grapes) and even made wine from
it, and that was against a west-facing hedge, shaded by a big sycamore.

I've just planted one up my south-facing red brick gable-end in Norfolk.
