If you thought you were going to make it through a week without hearing about how the wily hosts of Top Gear ruffled someone's feathers, think again. According to WhatsOnTv, James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond have begun receiving death threats after making disparaging comments about Wales in a recent program. The BBC program hosts reportedly remarked that fast cars should be test-driven on Welsh roads because no one wants to live there. That latest bit of bashing was apparently the last straw. The trio has taken turns giving the Welsh a hard time in the past, with May calling their language "baffling and dangerous" among other offenses. or....in Welsh Top Gear cyflwynwyr gael bygythiadau marwolaeth Os ydych yn meddwl eich bod yn mynd i fyw drwy'r wythnos heb glywed am y modd y lluoedd wily o Top Gear ruffled plu rhywun, meddyliwch eto.

I know all about the Welsh I am an expert on the Welsh : ****************BECAUSE******************************** ***************My best friend is a welsch Corgi****************** [/IMG]
Do you think their goal was to see if anyone was listening to them. Well, it's obvious that someone was listening. So they can rest easily knowing that they are not a complete flop.
Aww dude Pembroke Welsh Corgi's make the GREATEST friends. I had one for 18 years. He had a world of a will to live. 5 years prior to passing he survived, and adapted after being hit by a car. Your picture of yours brought a tear to my eye. You show him he is family and love him and he will stick with you till the end. I miss my Jeepers
With the way they dump on the USA I would have thought we would have been at the top of the list. If we can take as much as we get the Welsh should be able to take the few shots fired their way. Randy
Other countries take offence to bashing, more then we do. Most likely, because we do a lot of the bashing ourselves. Jim
Alabama USA On 60 Minutes they said the only time they were scared for their lives was when they went through Alabama and stopped for gas. They had to paint each others cars to offend the population. They put stuff like Hillery for President NASCAR Sucks And other stuff that I thought was pretty funny. The Lady at the gas station called in a bunch of rednecks and the guys from England had to run for their lives. Jeromy said that he really thought they would have been hurt bad if they did not vacate promptly. My Mario from Wales just don't care. He likes TOP GEAR. He Say's just let Metelmans little Mexican chihuahua take care of them.
I remember that Alabama episode. That was terrifying. The best threats that Top Gear gets, though, are from the Morris Marina enthusiasts that they enjoy ripping on oh-so-much. They get letters that are angry, but much less violent and much more hilarious. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmagEjystrc]YouTube - Morris Marina' Piano Edition[/ame]
