Think Clarkson uplifts some potatoes to sell in his new farm shop in episode 3.

Talking of his farm shop Dex , it was in the paper the other day, how the local villagers where the shop is, is trying to get it closed down.

The article said about 'petrol heads who speed down the country lanes, and village roads being clogged with traffic.'

One parish councillor has called for it to be closed down immediately as when Jeremy put in a personal appearance hundreds of fans flocked to the village, causing chaos on the village roads.

Well, maybe if he just gave up the TV stuff and concentrated on his farm, maybe folk wouldn't be so bothered about him. Or is that why he's on telly?

Sorry I'm sounding mean. I'll give it watch and then voice my disparaging opinion

I can understand that. The villagers objected against him trying to open it in the first place.

No doubt the madness will calm down in a bit, since the TV series has only been available for the last 3 weeks and will have generated much initial interest.

My guess is that on the plus side, local businesses will make an absolute killing with the influx of visitors.

Not sure what eh actual outcome will be. Technically, Clarkson is a practising farmer who owns a reasonably large farm and running a legitimate business. It would be a pity if his own fame ruins what he is trying to achieve.

It would really, and I mean that.

Go for it.

Other "celebs" cash in on their celeb status - Johnny Vegas and his glamping site being one that springs to mind.

Guess it goes with the territory.

At last Foxy. It took five page before someone said well done. I am not football mad but do enjoy the international tournaments, especially when we are doing well. It was an uplifting night for England tonight after all that we have been through as a Country, far less boring than listening to my neighbours arguing over a sausage.
