Brit teenagers have just learned the final grades of their A-level studies (no exams because WuFlu), which are important because it helps determine much of their future prospects of getting a decent job, placement at universities (except as in the post below) and so on.
And then you have Clarkson’s take:
(The “U” basically says, “He did the exam”.)
He left out one detail, however:
The man is a national treasure.
I’ve always been able to keep my enthusiasm for Jeremy Clarkson at a minimum…but the results do speak for themselves, don’t they?
The more I watch him the more I like him. And perhaps I am a bit jealous of him, but have to give him credit as he is a lot like me attitude-wise.
Carry on, Jeremy!
The Amazon series “Clarkson’s Farm” is a hoot.
Can’t get over the smoking hot girlfriend.
Dude’s got a booze sotted face, a paunch, and teeth the color of plywood (his words), and he scores a babe.
Before the London Times put him behind a paywall, I’d read his column every week. He wrote one on smoking that cracks my up to this day.
you’re right about Clarkson’s Farm. It was a very well done program. I’m sure there are even more burdensome over regulation in England when it comes to farming and I wish that he emphasized them. I would have liked to have seen how his paperwork and administrative government requirements interfered with his practical animal care. I bet the over regulation in the US is just as bad and that this plays a large part in why family farms are selling out to large corporations.

I think the fact that he’s not poor, helps in the babe department.
Enjoy the hell out of Clarkson. And the farm show is wonderful, and coming from an AG background spot on. Sadly he wont live forever but carry on good sir.
Loved it when he found out he could make more money growing grass than raising sheep, but he liked sheep. Caleb should get his own show.
My favorite part (and growing up on a working cattle ranch I could tragically relate) was when they totted up the score at the end of the year and he found out he’d been busting his ass for about 40p per day. And he asked the Brit version of the County agent, what farmers who didnt have Amazon & Game shows were going to do, and his answer was “Umm….Yeah.”
Welcome to Agriculture.
Carry on, Orangutan. And if you could give the Cape Buff a shout out….

Unfortunately there’s only one Clarkson.
Exam grades are hugely important over here, and there’s been massive grade inflation. 45% of students got an A grade or better. Now, either the exams are getting easier or schools are only letting their best pupils take the exams. I know where I’d place my money.
