Isle of Sheppey Caravan site, anyone stopped there? The caravan times reckon there were 31000 complaints from Sheppey! after Clarkson said locals on the Isle of Sheppey, off Kent's north coast, "tend to be the sort of people who arrived in England in the back of a refrigerated truck or clinging to the underside of a Eurostar train". He said it was "mostly … a caravan site" where there are "thousands of mobile homes, all of which I suspect belong to former London cabbies". :roflmto:

If you get upset about anything JC says, then you are completely missing the point.

I hate Clarkson, but for once he is right ... with Clacton on Sea ...or Jaywick not far behind.

And do remember he is playing it for effect.

Trouble is that he is predictable and has been for years. If he (or his scriptwriters) had evolved his act over the years then it might be funny but he didn't and he is well past his sell by date.

How can you not love someone who gets paid £2.14m by the BBC (your money) to say on national television that local govt strikers should be shot in front of their children for daring to strike to save their pensions (average £4k) ....oh how we laughed!!
Seriously I used to find him funny but now he just plays to stereotypes and his exagerations get more and more ridiculous and less and less funny! Still never mind...takes all types.:RollEyes:

Funny how many people that don't like Clarkson know what he is about? It must be some kind of masochistic pleasure that people get watching and listening to some one that they dislike?:Doh:

Earns the Beeb millions, most exported show worldwide.

Dead right about local government officers though, but I wouldn't wait until they went on strike!

One of the complainants, a Mr R Slicker said Clarkson should,nt be able to get away with slagging off the area. Mr Slicker, who has six fingers and is currently on bail for sleeping with his sister, said that he had lkived in the area all his life, and had never driven a cab.

I know your'e only joking and honestly I do have a sense of humour but....
Who would teach your kids, look after your health, empty your bins etc etc ? If we lived according to Clarkson we could all be ignorant, unhealthy and with third world services and just joke about it!:RollEyes:

Indeed it is, full of scallies and dregs from Liverpool, all on benefits no doubt.
Au contraire mon brave, the strecth towards Caernafon seems to be Midlands people. When I was working as a activity centre manager(not clubs independent) the local Coop,Post Office and Off Licence were all owned/managed by Brummies!
Flint to Rhyl is mainly Scousers Connahs Quay is the Liverpool overspill.

Since the REAL Top Gear finished the BBC is sadly lacking a decent motoring programme as well as a tech programme (RIP Tomorrows World),these have now been taken up by Five with Fifth Gear and the Gadget Show.

Clarkson for Prime Minister :thumb:
Reading his regular coloum in Top Gear mag his distain for scroungers malingerers and pointless and useless rules and laws throughout the land seem to be his main focus and recipient of a well deserved tongue lashing
With regards to the public sector workers statement in the FULL interview after discussing the matter at length he said " I suppose I better say something in opposition and controversial, errrr ' they should all be taken outside and shot etc' "
This line was then taken on its own as a statement

You, know, about a year ago, a work colleague who lives in Gillingham told me pretty much the same thing! :thumb:

I go to Sheppey for a sailing meeting once a year and don't take the van as the car park behind the sea wall next to the sailing club looks as depressing as it looks unsafe. Stay in a B&B instead. It must be one of the world's most depressing places. The dinghy sailing is good, though.
