This story made me laugh Remember the lost HMRC CD's? It's a stunt after that:

It takes a big fella to admit he was wrong

Serves him right.

Having said that, I do enjoy his newspaper articles, books and TV appearances.

I read this the other day in his column in The Sun ( ) - what I find pathetic is the old 'Data Protection' excuse trotted out by his bank to avoid doing anything:

Quote:
The bank cannot find out who did this because of the Data Protection Act and they cannot stop it from happening again
Its a rubbish excuse - if a crime has been committed you can always give or get the information

Yeah that DPA line got me too - I wonder if he was just trying to save his blushes!

I love watching top gear and I think Clarkson can be hilarious to watch, but I wouldn't like to be his neighbor!

What a pr**k he is...

Posting them in a national newspaper is just asking for trouble..Seems some people will never learn..

Its people like Clarkson that are the ones that normally end up getting done..Just because they never believe these things happen..I hope he learnt his lesson.
