So Californians have moved to England?The problem with the locals is you've got 2 main sorts: The lifetime locals who can see the benefits the shop and tourism bring to the local community and producers.
Then you've got those who have moved to the countryside from cities or other local villages that have gotten to big for them bringing their idyllic view of what country life should be (the same ones that bitch about crowing roosters, mud on the road and big fuck off farm equipment bombing down the tiny little country lanes at 50mph) and don't really have any skin in the game, they just want their little bubble to remain undisturbed.
If he wants to turn a field into a carpark, build a decent shop and restaurant, he should ba allowed to get it done. A proper car park would solve the traffic issues, big shop and restaurant would bring a good couple of dozen jobs to the village which would be excellent for local teens and provide a good outlet for various local producers.
But nope that'd be bad for the community and a disaster for the environment. I bet the council would fall over themselves to help if he decided to turn 100 acres into a solar farm

It's a bit more of a trek, Heathrow to stonehenge is about 1hr 20min (red line on the map) but once you get off the motorway (red arrow) You'll end up travelling through some quintessential English countryside and a bunch of historic villages including Burford and Lechlade on Thames.
If you want any tips on good pubs or other potential places to visit then let me know, I live in the Witney area.

Apparently someone has has been having some fun at the council's expense.....
And I say the council's expense, because they'll have to pay to sort the sign, whilst I'm sure Clarkson is laughing his ass off and enjoying the free publicity.

I doubt it, they're not exactly the fun sort.
IMO it exemplifies British banter at its finest and is the sort of thing one would do wind a chap up whilst causing jolly good laughs all round.
If the intention is to insult or hurt Clarkson in some way, they'd have been better off removing any mention of the farm from the sign because then the council could have dragged their feet about repairing the sign. Now they'll have to carry out an emergency repair to remove the "offensive" word

yeah but thats what those limey ****s do. Proper on the surface, nobody knows, theyll never tell, just a stupid lil fun, and when you blame them, fain outrage.

Appreciate where you're coming from but the current council is run by proper pinko-libs who are so perpetually offended they lack the necessary funny bone to do something like that.

So how is 130 miles a 3 hour trip? 45mph? I thought you had higher sppeed limits, that's crawling?
Donk
Piss Artist Formerly Known As OllieNZ
The first half of the trip from London to the red arrow is mostly 70mph and after the red arrow it's a mix of 50-60mph with a bunch of 30mph through towns and villages. From the red arrow to Stonehenge are some pretty gnarly backroads where you'll struggle to maintain the posted 60mph limit in anything other than a nimble sports car. I'll grab some footage off my dashcam next time I'm out that way.

Where is s3 going to be? I thought Amazon dropped him

Same here going to Houston. Every little town drops the speed limit and posts revenuers at the sign. I bet there are 30+ speed limit changes in 120 miles, and 1 red light that was solely responsible for turning a 3 hour drive into a 24 hour drive during a hurricane Evacuation.

From what I recall Amazon had a contract through season 3, but dropped him for a season 4.
My hunch is by the time season 3 drops and is wildly popular (again) shit will have blown over and be forgotten paving the way for sesson 4.

Exactly why would you drop a wildly popular series.

Because of the fallout for the article he wrote about that meghan markel chic.
So, wonder what they think about the south park episode?

Just finished season 2.
I liked the "night ops" and them setting up the restaurant.
Would like to see how many true employees he has working for him to produce like that.

These ads have ruined amazon. I'm not gonna pay extra. I watched 2 episodes and may not watch the rest.

They haven't really bothered me so far. Not enough that I'm gunna pay to not have them.
Unless they added a bunch to new episodes of stuff. It was pretty minimal on current stuff
Void_of_Light
Keeping I.T. real
My tolerance for ads is pretty much zero. I'd say there were 4-5 1 to 2 minute ad breaks per episode. Most were the same damn ad.
I might could overlook it if I wasn't already paying for it.

There are some 50 mile trips up in Maine that have taken 3 hours to get out to some of the small peninsulas without even having traffic on them from Portland

Yeah. The speed limits in New England are trash.
