About this deal

So, being utterly and completely uninterested in cars*, I have obviously not a clue of who Jeremy Clarkson is and what makes him famous** Pull on your wellies, grab your flat cap and join Jeremy Clarkson in this hilarious and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the farm we're all obsessed with . . . The restaurant also offers a “tiny VIP room”, which serves complementary sparkling wine to those who book the room. Opening hours of the Diddly Squat farm restaurant is Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 10pm. 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.

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. Clarkson has done more for farmers in one series than Countryfile achieved in 30 years' James Rebanks, author of A Shepherd's Life 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. According to the book summary, readers can expect to be regaled with more outlandish schemes from Diddly Squat Farm – the sheep are gone, to be replaced with pigs and ‘psychopathic’ goats ­– while the cows have been joined by a bull named Break-Heart Maestro.

Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson (born April 11, 1960) is an English broadcaster and writer who specialises in motoring.

He writes weekly columns for The Sunday Times and The Sun, but is better known for his role on the BBC television programme Top Gear. And yet while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it's worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence... Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else.At the end of Jeremy's first year in the tractor's driving seat, Diddly Squat farm rewarded him with a profit of just GBP144. So, while he's the first to admit that he's still only a 'trainee farmer'*, there is clearly still work to be done. 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.

Pull on your wellies, grab your flat cap and join Jeremy Clarkson in this hilarious and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the farm we're all obsessed with. In one short comedic series, and book, Clarkson has done more to highlight the plight of farming in Britain today, and, as he says, he does this to earn 40p a day. He speaks of the high injury/death rate due to farm accidents and the terribly high rate of suicides in farming. And he speaks from the heart because, despite all the hardship—he knows that without his other income from TV shows he would have gone under a long time ago—he loves what he is doing. His opinionated but humorous tongue-in-cheek writing and presenting style has often generated much public reaction to his viewpoints. His actions both privately and as a Top Gear presenter have also sometimes resulted in criticism from the media, politicians, pressure groups and the public.Read more: Diddly Squat restaurant opens at Jeremy Clarkson's Oxfordshire farm - and it doesn't 'cater to the faddy' You can book your place at the Diddly Squat farm restaurant on OpenTable, but only tables of four can currently be booked. The booking is also currently restricted to times between Thursday, July 14 and Sunday, July 17, however more slots should be available soon. Härra Clarkson annab kõigile lootust, et tee mis sa teed, aga huumor aitab igast jamast läbi. Ta on ühte aegu eeskuju ja samas täielik ristivastand sõnale "eeskuju". Pealehakkamist on vaja, püsivust ja aega. As an aside - I surprise myself by having quite a bit of patience with the English version of this humour, but I think it may have to do with the fact that it's not told in the horrible Gothenburg accent. And just to not be too hard on Gothenburg, it needs to be said that I spent most of my mandatory military service there and that probably coloured my perception of it ( not really, seriously, stay away!)

And yet while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it's worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence . . .
