Jeremy Clarkson's farm praised for teaching petrolheads 'burgers come from cows' at planning meeting
Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop and TV show should be praised for teaching petrolheads that burgers from cows, a planning meeting has been told. It came as the ex-Top Gear presenter tried to persuade his local council in Oxfordshire to allow him to expand the car park at the site of his shop.
“There are few places about where you can experience where we get food from. Jeremy's following do not have that great a knowledge about farming - I have had to explain to people that beef burgers come from a cow - and they travel long distances with the hope they might see him, but also to experience farming they have seen on TV.”
But a resident of the nearby village of Chadlington, Hilary Moore, described people drawn to the local area by the farm as “motorheads” who drive slowly on surrounding roads to “show off their cars”. Ms Gray said this description was “unfair” and that she had “witnessed local people” adding to the traffic issues by driving slowly themselves.
