About this deal

well, appeal is the wrong word, but if this sounds like something that you would allow your brain to drift in and out of active listening to, then I absolutely recommend this. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there? I found the sections on sheep particularly funny and the things that they do that frustrated Jeremy no end.

The Government, and the exhausting, continuous hard work just to try and make a living from the soil. But with no wolves, elks flourished to such an extent that all the aspen and willow trees were eaten, and the effects of that wiped out countless other species, including the beaver. After Great Britain is hit by 2 catastrophes: Covid and Brexit, the author-journalist Jeremy Clarkson takes on the challenge of running a farm for a year. Okej, z Clarksonem mamy zupełnie inne spojrzenie na świat i nie podobają mi się jego niektóre poglądy (w tej książce chociażby ma się za rolnika ekologicznego, ale od ekologow wie lepiej i ma z dupy wzięte informacje), a jednocześnie wciąż go lubię. Or that it's easier to get planning permission for a nuclear power station than turning an old barn into a restaurant?There are other things that frustrated Jeremy too, such as the control the government has over what is grown, Brexit laws changing the way things work (like having seeds stuck in France with no way out) and general government bureaucracy. It is just an amazing book, so if, like me, you enjoy agricultural and business/ comedy books, it is a must read.

I think what he's done for the industry is fantastic, and I really enjoyed the way this book went into the TV show a little more in depth.I read this in 24hrs ahah, it’s a collection of his Sunday Times columns on the trials and tribulations of farming. If you love Clarkson's shows and writing, you will love this book, if you don't like him, stay away as you will probably be offended.

I enjoyed comparing what I know of Aussie farming with Clarkson’s experience in the UK (I still can’t get over that each field has a name). Unfortunately I counted three needless passing yet mocking references to transgender people which serve no purpose whatsoever but to simply make you cringe. He has shed a big light on the plight of farmers worldwide where consumers want the cheapest product (yet they want the best product), but the input costs just keep skyrocketing and the majority of farmers are just struggling to survive post-Covid. Being a collection of his columns as usual this is a quick and easy read, and makes some poignant and thought-provoking points about the existential crisis British farming is facing in a format that will make people sit up and listen.

This book is classic Clarkson filled with all his wit and humor, but this time about his new, and serious, job. If on the other hand, Jeremy nattering on is something you would find grating, you haven't missed all that much. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. It's easier to get planning permission to build a nuclear plant than to turn a barn into a restaurant?
