Clarksons Farm - Amazon

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
Has anyone else been on any of the facebook groups about the farm? How thick are some people? I keep seeing people going on about the farm profits, as if Jeremy is pretending *he* only made £140 odd quid profit.

It really irritates me that they think they're seeing something the rest of us aren't by pointing out that he will be being paid a lot from Amazon, and has other high earning sources of income to fall back on.

How can people miss the point so spectacularly? Even if you never watched any of it, and just watched the bit where they talk about the farm profits at the end of the season, its very obvious that he is quoting those figures to highlight the financial position of every other farmer who isn't a famous presenter with lucrative TV deals 😂😂 MORONS.
He even said himself he has other income but like you say he's highlighting what its like for other farmers who dont have a different income.

I’m sure he even referenced his ITV money etc, saying imagine trying to do this without the Netflix / ITV / Amazon money.

people can be so stupid though

He did say something like that in the most recent series. It was along the lines of ‘At least I have other income streams but imagine what it’s like for people who solely rely on farming‘.

Yes I’m sure he said “how do other farmers cope when they can’t just go and film another series of im a millionaire after a bad crop”

I absolutely love Calebs character (as in his essence/his being, not that he's not real!) he's so sweet and genuine, he doesn't put it on for the camera - you can clearly see when he tries to (eg pig labour massage 😂 which ultimately became a genuine moment!)

It was never more evident with how upset he was with the failed crop "I know it isn't my money" and how defeated he was because he'd put his all into it.

I loved it in the first series when he drove to London with the wasabi and he was terrified. Bless! Don’t worry, Kaleb, even those of us who commute often feel that way.

Luca the cook/shop guy is very cute. 😆😍
---
The harvester Jeremy used for harvesting the nettles is something we've use at work as an emergency harvester, and let me tell you, what a bag of rit it is.

It's even from the same company Jeremy's came from.
Luca is Rachael Allens son. Very famous cookery family in Ireland

and as an Irish person I peed myself at the Yeah Yeah and the Yeah no stuff. Guilty!

Have you read the book is it any good?
 
Hope he's going to do Clarkson's Pub next, with this pub he's bought, and show some of the challenges in the pub trade in the same way as he's brought insight to the challenges of farming.

I'll bet my house that's going to happen. At least it will give him somewhere to sell his products without aggravating of the council. He obviously really wanted a restaurant so this solves that issue too.

I saw an article today of publicans moaning that Clarkson thinks he can just buy a pub and run it. Well, that's what he did with his farm 🤣

God who cares if he's bought a pub and doesn't know the trade, he's a millionaire he doesn't need to know the trade he can pay for people who do know the trade to help him. :rolleyes:

He's probably got a lot more experience of pubs than he ever had farms.

Anyway, Amazon will throw so much money at it, it doesn't have to be a success.

I love cars, but cannot say I was ever a massive fan of Clarkson on Top Gear.
Or of his paper writings!
No fan of Meghan, but that was way way too much...

However, I am a farmer's daughter and I love how he has shone the light on the plight of farmers. Farmers work soo hard for a pittance.

For this reason, I have become a fan.

Well done Jeremy!
