Cheap shiny grey suit, awful comb over, tie that only reached down to his mid riff....

Roads are for transport first and enjoyment second. Boring, but true. I'd rather they didn't do it sure, but I don't feel I really have a leg to stand on when complaining about it.
Finished watching the series yesterday and had a look on Trip Advisor for reviews. Comments about hot food being served in the old lambing barn directly behind the shop (these reviews were made after the small barn cafe had been shut down), as well as a burger van and several stalls selling produce. Bins overflowing, no running water in the portaloos which were filthy, rubbish blowing all around the car park etc. Not quite the picture that was presented in the series.JamJar wrote: Mon Feb 13, 2023 9:18 amTo be fair to them I think they might have just got tired of him from previous things he had done, when he opened the shop I don't think anyone expected it to be so busy and it does cause actual traffic problems. Also he did build a lambing "shed" and then just give up with sheep which if you are cynical does seem like he had an ulterior motive in building the shed.Greenman wrote: Sun Feb 12, 2023 11:35 pmThey are 'considered' to be impartial! it's quite obvious in Jezza's case they are not, at all, not even close!Mr. Dazzle wrote: Sun Feb 12, 2023 9:15 pm
From only 94 pledgers though, that's not bad going TBF!
I just watched the planning permission episode. Does make you wonder at the impartiality of planning committees. Well it would if you'd previously given merit to the idea they're impartial
No need to do him down. You could have chosen a picture with him looking his best.
Clarkson for PM...Docca wrote: Thu Feb 16, 2023 8:14 am Finished season 2 last night. Agree completely with the story telling points made.
I guess it is easy and quite lazy to make this about him though: rich, obnoxious oaf can’t build a his new sand pit and fill it with toys.
It’s not really about him though - I’m struck by the impact of the community here. I found myself getting wound up by planning processes and petty people.

Probably a bit knee-jerky, but my wife (who is a vegetarian) suggested we stop buying meet and milk altogether from supermarkets, so last night I’ve signed up with a local milk/produce delivery scheme….and in a minute, I’m off to the local farm ( real lack of butchers near me) and load up on meat.
If Clarkson could start a series on nursing shortage next that would be aces
So just like the sheep he has only had the cows for one series which was the allegation made by the locals.Hoonercat wrote: Sun Feb 19, 2023 1:10 pmFinished watching the series yesterday and had a look on Trip Advisor for reviews.

He's now sold all the adult cows and told the council he no longer wants to open a restaurant.
I enjoyed the series though, some great characters and something of an eye opener as far as the plight of farming is concerned.
Chicken and Egg or Cow and Dinner in this case.JamJar wrote: Mon Feb 20, 2023 11:34 am So just like the sheep he has only had the cows for one series which was the allegation made by the locals.
He's blaming the council for not allowing him to sell their meat. I thought the original idea for the cows was to stop him having to use chemicals on his fields?JamJar wrote: Mon Feb 20, 2023 11:34 am So just like the sheep he has only had the cows for one series which was the allegation made by the locals.
Sounds like a nightmare for the locals.[The council order] means I’ve had to sell all my adult cows, which were going to be used to make the beef, leaving only their calves in the fields. Except they’re not in the fields. Without parental control, they are in my flower beds, my orchard, my neighbour’s drive and all over the A361.
woah there just a second....
Victim of his own notoriety. He's spent the last 20 years acting the fool, breaking the rules, messing about and being provocative to make "lad's-TV". And yeah you can see why the locals are proper frit of what he might try and do next. People queuing round the block to catch a glimpse of reality-tv-farmers and buy a 20 quid t-shirt is the outcome apparently.Rockburner wrote: Mon Feb 20, 2023 12:33 pm
**: the 'farmers-collective' thing was quite rightly cited as being something the local council should be fully in favour, and fully in support of, and yet because Clarkson was involved, the restaurant (and collective) was denied.
I did wonder about that, having read somewhere that the production costs were £4.5 million per episodePirahna wrote: Mon Feb 20, 2023 12:37 pm Series 1 was better because he was splashing his own cash not Amazon's.
