Isn't it contradictory of Jeremy Clarkson to present himself as thoroughly English, then draw a continental 7?

Question

It's an affectation to draw a bar across the stem of the figure 7; we're not Europeans here in the UK.

But then isn't everything about the man completely affected?

Answer 1

hes peaceful and hes harmless. thats good enough for me. i dont care how he does a seven

Answer 2

Jeremy Clarkson comes across as a bit of a pratt at times......So no it does not surprise me.

Answer 3

I do that myself sometimes, so that I can read my own spidery handwriting.

Don't tell Norman Tebbit about this new Englishness Test! We've already got the Cricket one.

Thankfully, watching JC is a voluntary activity, so you don't have to put up with the man any more than you choose to.

Answer 4

So What? At least he ain't afraid to say that he IS English. I am fed up with all the left wing PC Celtic brigade telling me i should be ashamed of being English because of something the BRITISH allegedly did generations back.

Good on Jeremy - however he writes the number 7!

Answer 5

Is there a test now, where you have to draw the number 7 to see if you're British or not?

If you don't like him, don't watch his shows.

Answer 6

No,  I do because people were always mistaking my 7s for1s.

Necessity, not affectation.

Answer 7

I think he's top on top gear, he makes me laugh.

Who gives a rats *** how he writes a 7

Answer 8

it depends how bad his handwriting is!

the purpose of a bar is to make it very clear that it's a 7 and not a badly written 1. Especially if you write the serif (the little ticky bit) at the top of the 1 numeral

I have disgusting handwriting so use the continental 7 for safety!

Answer 9

Is that how they write sevens on the continent? See, not everyone knows that.

Answer 10

Jeremy Clarkson is an idiot. He's only waiting in line behind Richard Hammond for the title of Complete Moron.

Answer 11

So what, he cant write and is fat.

Bet he earns more than you.
