You can see why he's pals with Jeremy Clarkson. Two peas in a mouldy pod!

Mary, don't seek revenge and fuel this silly, shallow man's lust for publicity. He has called the Welsh "loquacious, dissemblers, immoral liars, stunted, bigoted, dark, ugly, pugnacious little trolls" and the English a "lumpen and louty, coarse, unsubtle, beady-eyed, beefy-bummed herd". He is just a rude man with no manners.
He is a mediocre restaurant reviewer who resorts to sensationalist, offensive comments to detract from his lack of knowledge about food; a bitter, failed artist and a twice divorced misogynist who refers to his current partner as simply 'The Blonde'...says it all doesn't it?
The man's a fool - a fossil brained idiot. The rest of us are more enlightened, Mary. Don't let him get to you!
Your show is great and I think you're lovely.
