Description

Clarkson explains the serious profitability challenges of farming, frustrations caused by red tape while setting up his farm shop, and the industry’s health and safety record. Book one of the Diddly Squat series spanned his first year running his 1,000-acre farm in Oxfordshire. It ranges from laugh-out-loud entertainment from his views on the ‘endlessly annoying’ government and his obnoxious sheep, to the more serious concerns facing the industry. Having turned his hand to farming three years ago, marmite figure Clarkson has been praised for showing the realities of farming life – whilst finding humour in the challenges and mishaps he faces day to day.

Since then, he has written for the Sun, the Sunday Times, the Rochdale Observer, the Wolverhampton Express & Star, all the Associated Kent Newspapers and Lincolnshire Life. The program of ‘Top Gear’ itself would run with him from 1988 to 2000, then he would return in 2002 staying until 2015. This would be where he would make his name as a broadcaster, raising his national profile, whilst becoming a famous public figure and celebrity. It was in 1996 that he would have his first book published with the title ‘Jeremy Clarkson’s Motorworld’, as he would largely write non-fiction, whilst mainly focusing upon cars. Many of his later books would utilize his public persona of being opinionated within the media, taking a lot of his ideas from his columns written for numerous different British tabloids, something that is expected to carry on for some time to come. This is my brand new book. And I thought it might be fun to read you a short excerpt from it, give you a flavour: Life on Clarkson’s Farm may not always go according to plan. There may not always be one. But there’s not a day goes by when Jeremy can’t say ‘I’ve done a thing’ and mean it …

Berry continued to hosts Jeremy Kyle and Nicola Thorp on TalkTV: ‘Health and safety came in, I went from being a presenter to a director and all of a sudden in the 2000s, health and safety people appeared which was great because sometimes, as a programme maker, you get all excited about what you’re doing and you think, “Let’s top what we did last time. Let’s make it bigger, more exciting, more spectacular.” There may not always be one. But there is not a day goes by when Jeremy cannot say ‘I have done a thing’ and mean it. Bio Since the last book, Clarkson’s enthusiastic schemes for diversification have been met with stubborn opposition from the ‘red trouser bridgade’, and Kaleb and Lisa have had doubts about Jeremy’s plan to build a business empire based on rewilding and nettle soup.

Then there are the animals: the sheep are gone; the cows have been joined by a rented bull called Break-Heart Maestro;. the pigs are making piglets; and the goats have turned out to be psychopaths. National Farmers Union says that “Clarkson has showcased the passion, humour and personalities of the people who work throughout the year to grow the nation’s food”. Because while he has mastered the art of moaning about nearly everything, some of the other attributes required of a successful farmer prove more of a challenge.”Because while he’s mastered the art of moaning about nearly everything, some of the other attributes required of a successful farmer prove more of a challenge. Who knew, for instance, that loading a grain trailer was more demanding than flying an Apache gunship? That cows were more dangerous than motor-racing? Or that it would have been easier to get planning permission build a nuclear power station than to turn an old barn into a farm restaurant? Enthusiastic schemes to diversify have met with stubborn opposition from the red trouser brigade, defeat at the hands of Council Planning department, and predictable derision from Kaleb - although, to be fair, even Lisa had doubts about Jeremy's brilliant plan to build a business empire founded on rewilding and nettle soup. And only Cheerful Charlie is still smiling about the stifling amount of red tape that's incoming . . . But he charges by the hour. That is right – it is time for another riotous trip to Diddly Squat Farm with farmer-in-progress Jeremy Clarkson.” And fortunately there started to be people who would say, “Hang on a second, what if everybody gets horribly killed?” Health and safety has saved a lot of people from serious injury.’
