Doesn't surprise me at all, he just about bankrpted a local show here with his greed,
Aye he's a farmers friend ,
He's a frigging bellend
I’ve heard that HE wanted an eyewatering amount to attend a young farmers AGM (they politely declined). Not much support of the upcoming generation.

Clarkson on the other hand- I couldn’t be doing with him at all in the past. My opinion of him (and even more amazingly, my wife’s opinion of him) has been completely re-appraised since the first series. My only worry is that the first series set such a high bar that the second series has a lot to live up to.
I hope he tackles some of the more contentious issues plaguing farming (‘hangars on’- RT etc, TB and badgers etc). What an advocate for UK farming!

Clarkson is good for British ag .
He was at the farming awards in Birmingham last Oct and they were filming for his next series which I think goes out in September.
He was very entertaining but I felt that given there were a lot of ladies in the room his language was uncalled for .
I might be a lonely voice but I still think men should keep their language 'incheck' when ladies are present.
You should listen to my Mrs work sheep...

But there are some offensive ladies about too nowadays.
I do agree with you though.
The real skill is where some can insert the swear word in another word. An example was talking about solving a difficult problem - you would need a Philaf××××ingdelphia lawyer.

Or use a very similar alternative, we know a guy, strict Methodist who would constantly say 'flicking', not sure it made it any better?

British Army NCOs have made swearing an art form.

Perhaps that is the selection process for officer training, if you are strong willed enough to protest at the coarseness of the language, all "lah-di-dah Gunner Graham", you go straight to the head of the queue to enter Sandhurst to become a Rupert.

Yes, that's entirely correct. And if you fail at that, either daddy will use his Old Boys Network to sort you out, or like the good old days, you can purchase a commission in one of the less senior regiments.

But not a corps. Gentlemen do not serve in corps.
