I just can't believe that after all these years, they still don't understand it's not meant to be taken seriously... haven't they seen/heard about Top Gear before?  |

To quote Clarksonius, 'FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!' I'm pretty sure that nobody in the country watches TG as a serious car programme and if they do, they were probably imported from another planet. |

The whole point of the joke was that it was 'consumer advice'... not! |

If the insurance companies gave realistic quotes then parents wouldn't find them put in the position of having to 'front' insurance for their kids cars. I think TG made that point perfectly |

The insurance companies have no-one to blame but themselves. And they then wonder why people go out of their way to find loopholes. I am not saying it's right, but it happens. If they want to be rip off merchants, they shouldn't be surprised when people play them at their own game.

This bit made me lol. Ms Parsons said: "While few people would take Clarkson's suggestion that a sex change could help 17-year-old boys halve their premiums seriously, fronting is a common fraud and we would urge parents to avoid the practice as, if found out, the consequences could be severe." I think the word they want is no-one but its nice to see they had upset someone i was getting worried. But still no DM outrage what are they planing  |

Good, I was getting worried. Fingers crossed for the Daily Mail to pick it up as well. And for the second week running it's James who has made the offending remark. I'm so proud! ;D

What I am thinking now is, what is to come next? How can they 'improve' on this one?

I'm sure they've got something even better up their sleeves....as long as it keeps them in the ratings, it's done the right job... ;D

Yes. The episode that is on on Sunday is the one where they went to London in the small cars, with the loud hailers, so I guess that there may be something going on there that will get people talking.  |
