They are right of course.

There are indeed respectful mutterings amongst the fine people of Scarborough, referring to The Wise Woman of North Moor

Btw Neil, I'm happy to apply for the Norfolk contingency of Vigilante Mycologists.

Together with that sculpture of Captain Mainwaring at Thetford, we'll have them on the run Nick.

Well no, that's not actually true.

He was asked 'What do you think of the strike?'

He said [only slightly paraphrased] 'I think it's great, there's no traffic, the airports are running smoothly, it's like being back in the 70s, it's fabulous'

He then added 'Well we have to balance it, this is the BBC after all', and then added 'Frankly I'd have them all shot'.

This was approved by BBC producers.

Anyone who takes him seriously is very foolish indeed.

I agree, anyone who takes Jeremy Clarkson seriously is very foolish indeed.

My first post was a "joke" and my second post was a "joke" . To be honest I thought your first post was a joke as well. Either that or it was it was a little "racist". I wonder how you had them down as "Eastern European" and "furtive" while you were riding past on your bike. I come across many people in the New Forest filling bags with mushrooms and most of them are English. I know that because I stop and talk to them.

Furtive because they were bending over and looking around. Eastern European cos that's what they looked like. They certainly didn't look Chinese!
