    You see it is not the working late etc it is the complete lack of interest in supplying decent food for those that do which caused the punch up.

    Just wondering "At Amazon, workers are encouraged to ... toil long and late."


    Do we know of any TV presenter who is mild mannered and doesn't throw punches cause he can't have a steak sandwich after a shoot over-runs?


    I find it sad that some people put personality over decency, but if you are a contractor and you punch your employer you'd expect to be in a lot of bother. Doesn't matter how good or bad you are.

    Oh come on! Clarkson is entertaining, and lots of people like cars. But a golden era of television? Raise your sights a little please.

    I wouldn't expect it to have a massive audience on Amazon Prime, but as Top Gear was popular all over the planet, I'd expect this show to be massively popular on torrents i.e. several hundred thousand or 1m+ in the swarm. Very much looking forward to it and hope it trounces Chris Evans on Top Gear tbh.

    Indeed – we could not get on either: but this is the first time it has happened (that I know of) in the last 2 or so years I have been using Prime.

    Many other vendors could supply a similar service at a much lower cost. , the waste there also seems endemic.

    Not sure why I have to pay £150 to watch 2 channels and repeats?
