I don't know many <30-year-olds who hold Clarkson with much respect these days. Most Brits are starting to vew Top Gear as a group

Just watched a season 8 TG episode, and Jeremy Clarkson has/had a B&O cellphone! (Serene.)

I agree Evan, coffee too hot is not nice.

Hopefully yours Graham won't get the same problem. The machine I bought for my restaurant

Terrible! I would have cried if my Beolab 5000's would have arrived like that.
