I love the BBC-Top Gear!

[RICHARD]

This has nothing to do with Top Gear, but touches on Jeremy Clarkson's dislike (OK, deap-seated loathing) of environmentalists.

The Kilners survided the court case and the business went on, but eventually went under in the 1930s. I think Jeremy is now convinced that his dislike of environmentalists is genetic.

Thanks for the information!

It does make sense.

Here in the U.S. the name of the jars we have for canning and storing food isn't Kilner..

The company name is Ball, I guess "bollocks" had too many letters to fit across the jar??

I love Top Gear.

I find mysellf laughing like an idiot when I watch the show.

Tonight, the trio tried to get cars packed with camping gear....

Jeremy Clarkson was putting stuff into a Volvo station wagon and he closed the tailgate on something that blew the back window out.

I laughed because I saw the same thing in a gas station parking lot around Christmas.......

I was at a stop sign and was watching a man secure his Christmas tree in the rear of a Jeep Wagoneer.

He was adjusting the tree in the cargo compartment, took a step back and pulled the rear window down on the tree trunk that was sticking out just enough to make the rear window explode onto the gentleman and the area next to the gas pumps.

I almost rolled down the window to taunt the poor fellow, but, I felt bad for the guy and prayed that someone would buy him a new rear window for his wheels in keeping with the spirit of the season,....


p.s., I also wondered that line of B.S. he would tell his family....

"The guy at the tree lot broke it, but I told him not to worry, Our insurance would cover it!"

I cant watch Top Gear, no TV. Will Top Gear be covering King of the Hammers next week?

If dessert and rock racing intrests you I can PM you the link when the live coverage starts.

I've never seen this show but I do love British TV. Especially the old stuff and the cop-type shows (particularly the ones with Robson Green and the "Morse" episodes).

Is this on BBC America?
