Clarkson’s farm

[Roaring Chubby]

Is the lager any good?

I’d say JC is in national treasure territory now and him cracking that bloke confirmed his proper bloke image.

Is the lager any good?

Yeah it's really nice. I got 4 beers and a packet of the crisps from his potatoes, they were really good.

It was expensive like so I won't be getting any more.

Would you say then it’s good gear but shite value for money

Definitely. It's worth trying as a one off though. The beers are really crisp

And the crisps were really beery?

I had a feeling I said crisp too many times

It's not too bad as a keg for perfect draft compared to others.
Might try one

Just realised we’ve not even watched S2 yet so started on that this afternoon

 

[Big Jeff]

Watched all available episodes tonight. Superb if a little heartbreaking.

Terribly sad news about Gerald and the scenes with the dying pigs were upsetting.

Clarkson is a changed man. I’ve always liked him even though I accept he was a knacker.

I think he has changed for the better.

Let’s hope DS gets some better news soon.

Why did his restaurant/shop get closed by the council?

 

[The]

You can get 24 bottles for £42 on the website but not sure if that includes delivery. £1.75 per bottle seems ok.

Wonder why they’ve staggered the episodes, cant be a server load concern.

Why did his restaurant/shop get closed by the council?

They basically want him to farm the land and nothing more. No diversification as farmers have been told to do and no impact on the local community.

Ironically Jeremy assembled a group of local farmers who could all work together and mutually benefit from operating the restaurant and help grow the local economy.

It is apparent the council have a grievance against him.

I watched season 2 again in preparation for this, just a whole host of contradictions.

Authorities, ‘Farmers need to diversify’

Clarkson, ‘I’ll open a shop’

Authorities, ‘Well, alright but only if you sell local stuff, and the roof is a certain way etc’

Clarkson *fixes roof* ‘the shop is successful’

Authorities ‘we don’t like the traffic though, and they’re parking on the verges’

Clarkson ‘can I build a car park then?’

Authorities, ‘no, in actual fact now we don’t want you here’

Was pretty baffling

 

[Local Lad]

About 10 minutes into s3 and I'm already angry

 

[humbug]

just watched the 4th episode. was quite a tough watch.

 

[buster]

Why did his restaurant/shop get closed by the council?

Bitter and twisted council employees jealous of his celebrity and his willingness to invest locally.

Didn’t one bloke deny him because of the sky or something?

 

[Big Jeff]

The council clearly don’t want him doing anything other than conventional farming.

Hmmmmmm I find that unconvincing.

Of course we are seeing the argument presented chiefly from one viewpoint.
