I'm surprised you have bad memories

Do you now walk around clucking like a chicken when someone claps their hands?

Crappy way to treat people TBH.

Left same time as Mark (have seen the show before) as was one of the people to be seen by Paul McKenna - no communication from the makers at all throughout the day.

Complete waste of a day's annual holiday!

I must say as we were invited things could have been a lot better but to be honest I did really enjoy the day. I've never been and although it was an extremely long day on the old pegs, once we got inside the studio it was a great laugh.

As I said on another thread Kaz sorry but I had to change the sat-nav as the radio announced that the A3 was closed due to a major accident. The upshot being a fantastic drive through some of the best lanes around

Shame we didn't lose that old codger a lot sooner but ho hum it still looked great in my mirror seeing 10 scoobs having it through the twisties

Mark I never realised you were so annoyed as you didn't say a word. If you and Phil felt so strongly why on earth didn't you speak to someone?
Shame you didn't stay you missed some classic moments.

Andy - I'm glad that your thoroughly enjoyed the day - it is an experience and something that every petrol head should do (Clarkson really is quite likeable in real life).

Terzo we were invited by Top Gear the idea to try hypnotise one us to do some daft things but as Paul McKenna did such a great job on Hypnotising the Hamster they obviously dropped the idea of using us.

Truth is there was little if any communication hence why some people are severely pi55ed off.

On that Note....................

Firstly thanx to all you Guy's And Blonde Muppet For taking the Time of Work to Attend, Also for all of you Bieng on Time ( Cough!! Coughh! Kin Slow )

Please also i hope that none of you Guy's / Gal's feel that i Got you all down there on False Pretense's I only passed on the Very Small amount of imformation that John Had recieved, We were all led to Believe that we were all to be a very integral part of the Show

But hey Never Mind We cant expect the BBC To be as organised as Us Essex Scooby peeps, Can we ?

Anyway apart from that, I thought that the show was very Entertaining To watch, & I'm sure that a few of us Managed to get in a few of the Crowd Shot's

Tiny...
