It went a bit tits up didnt it.

If I worked outdoors in the middle of winter then at the end, the bloke responsible for hot food produced a plate of cold meat and cheese, I'd kick off too.

 

Aye it must be shit to have someone responsible for bringing you food. FFS.

They interviewed James May who pretty much said we are a three-man team. I took that to mean well fuck off to whichevertv company fancies paying us millions of pounds to make them millions more pounds

You sound very bitter that rich people get treated better than you.

Shit programme with arsehole presenters..

It makes millions. Due to the unique way the BBC is funded, this then goes into Radio 4 shows for militant lesbians, or whatever floats your boat.

Be that as it may.

 

I still don't give a shit

If he wants to be treated better because he's rich then all he needs to do is hire his own personal butler to follow him around. Job done, problem solved.

 

Also would your employer (or any employer) genuinely sort you out a Chinese takeaway when you're miles way from the nearest one and it is late because you've been in a pub drinking for the past two hours instead of traveling to site as you were meant to?

it's not that. If somebody is paid to bring you hot food, then they should be doing that. As Carlos pointed out, if you have been out in the cold all day, and the menial worker who is supposed to provide you with a decent meal, then surely it's the least they can do. Otherwise I would have thought a smack in the mouth is the least he/she should expect.

 

The irony is that this bloke who got smacked probably didn't do his job properly and is still employed by the BBC

I've just sent my assistant out for pittas to go with my houmous. If she comes back with them shitty mini ones I think I'd be well within my rights to punch the bitch in the fanny!

Clarkson should be punching the wardrobe people rather than the food guy.

. Same here. Couldn't give a shit

Now hang on!!!

With a name like Oisin, he wanted filling in.

 

Well done Jezza.

Even if we accept that the producer wasn't doing his job (and that is pretty tenuous, I doubt his job description is provide hot food) you still cannot punch him.

 

Then we come onto the inaccurate part. Clarkson wasn't working out in the cold all day. He'd gone to the pub for 2 hours with the other presenters rather than (as he was meant to) get in the helicopter and travel to Yorkshire. So he got there 2 hours late, and demanded hot food once the hotel had stopped serving hot food. If he'd been there on time there would have been no issue.

 

So all in all. Clarkson's fault. And beyond that, irrespective of that, you cannot assault colleagues because they do something you don't like, end of story.

Political Correctness gone mad!

I had a do at work once, about 10 yrs ago.

 

A bit of an argument over the temperature in the office, I was on full whack dose of steroids at the time, so could be a bit angry.

Anyhow, the bloke how I was arguing with came at me from behind as I was on my way to cool down, so he gets shoved at force into the filing cabinets and falls over, followed by a volley off expletives, he weighed around 28 stone, so I must have been mad!

 

He follows me out 5 mins later and we both apologise to each other, and have a laugh about the incident, shake hands and carry on.

 

However the hierarchy wanted to take it further and we both got final written warnings, we both appealed backing each other up and they still upheld the decision.

If they want you, they will have you, Clarkys days were numbered, just wondered if he offered an apology to the bloke??

Only seen the one work place punch thrown but it was thrown by Radio 1's Bruno Brookes's brother.

Has he had a knock yet? Bruno I mean, not his brother.

Can't help but agree that more lucrative offers await all three. The BBC have lost their biggest money spinner after the licence fee. Murdoch will be rubbing his hands.

I heard on radio he had apologised first by email. then later on in person

I've never watched an episode

 

sooner watch songs of praise

prob a argument that spilled over

 

yes a sackable offence

 

 

but he was in the 3 pigons 2 years ago had pictures took chatted to every one nice bloke

 

and i would say he is good at is job

Imagine if he'd handed you a pound sausage barm and a twix

Yep, if that's what my contract says. They pay someone to bring our lunch at 12.30 every week day.

 

Walk through Manchester and you'll always see an OB parked up somewhere, Corrie or whatever, and catering is a massive part of that. To reiterate, the bloke didn't do his job, be that fetching food or being Jezza's fluffer, it matters not. He was paid to do a job and didn't do it properly - everything that is wrong with this country. Deserved a slap.

I will bet you that his job description doesn't include anything about hot food.

 

As I've said before the facts of the situation are that hot food was provided if Clarkson had turned up on time. Presumably his contract does include turning up on time.

 

This isn't the situation you are trying to portray it as. They weren't outside all day awaiting a hot meal from catering. They were working down south then flying up to Yorkshire to stay in a hotel overnight. The hotel restaurant would have been the catering if Clarkson hadn't delayed. There's no way on gods earth that a producers contract involves providing hot food under any and all circumstances. It might involve ensuring reasonable catering where appropriate. Which he did do.

I'll bet you that the terms of his contract do, a massive "star" like him with all sorts of spurious riders in his contract.
