Don't forget he writes an article for the Sunday times where he
quite often talks about the difficulties in farming .I prefer him to be on our side
than against us and in general he does an excellent job.

You need to watch some of his documentaries ... start with the one on Brunel then come back to me
Persuaded the Mrs to have a look at how James May made a tarte tatin in series 2 of his cookery show, as he made it look quite simple.
She was so impressed that she went back to the start of series one and over the following days binge watched both series from start to finish.
Jeff Bezos hasn't lined their respective pockets since they left the BBC without good reason.
Japan was excellent, Italy I found a bit arty farty and stopped watching, but that was obviously more to do with the producers than him as a presenter.
India I haven't looked at yet.

Communication takes place through stories, so yes he does entertain, but gets information across as well.

How very f@cking generous of him.
So where are his piggle wiggles going to on their holidays ? I tried looking for something on his meat on his website, but all I could find was Clarkson's Farm t-shirts. Made in the Chipping Norton garment factory no doubt.
Didn't he once punch someone because the food on set wasn't to his satisfaction ? I know he described people who jump in front of trains as 'selfish'. What a wonderful human being.

You’ve never liked the bloke from the word go, have you @delilah ?
That is fair enough and everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
But WTF harm has he ever done to you?
And with the way you keep slating him, what sort of wonderful human being are you?
Clarkson came into farming late and has recognised various problems within it which he has broadcast to the Nation, both in his Newspaper articles and his Amazon TV programs. Done in a way that both attracts and holds his audience’s attention.
What have you done in comparison or is it that you are jealous of the attention he gets?

How come you dislike him so much?
I seem to remember one about the Arctic convoys in WW2 that was excellent, and quite moving in places too.

If you had a thriving on-site cafe and farm shop with queues out the door and a limited supply of fresh pork, would you be faffing around with mail order which is expensive for meat which has to be chilled?

A millionaire, TV host, successful journalist, enigmatic entertainer, farmer, realist & among many other things a straight talking famous bloke who likes women, beer & motors, to have a laugh & a bit of fun, doesn't take himself too seriously & who in the grand scheme of things doesn't have to give a sh*t about anything but obviously does.
You either like him or you don't
.................for anyone who doesn't like him then the red button at the top of the remote control is the Off button & gives you an option.

Correct. Have never liked the bloke. I have always had a problem with his taking the p!ss out of the environmental movement.
Which in part answers your second question. I consider his lazy, stereotypical pops at the environmental movement to bring harm to my business, and, for the purposes of this forum, to farming in general. Reinforcing outdated and just plain wrong prejudices is helping nobody. He has a platform to do good, yet that would be too much like hard work so instead he just sticks to what he is best at, taking the p!ss.
I am entirely comfortable with my achievements, and the attention thus received. Bless you for asking.
Sorry. Have I broken house rules ?
(goes away to look up 'forum' in a dictionary).
Where did I say I was trying to mail order his pork ? I was trying to find something about his meat on his farm shop website. All I can find on there, and the facebook page, is a load of tat. It isn't a farm shop, it is a shop on a farm. Presumably he got PP on the back of the usual farm shop criteria ? Any planning officer worth their salt would be taking him to task.
(full disclosure, he isn't the only one to be corrupting the farm shop/farmers market concept).
Anyone who takes their own life, through whatever means, will have a devastating impact on someone. So they are all selfish ? Got it.
(shocked and saddened that the only response your post has had is likeys).
