Born to Be Riled
Jeremy Clarkson, it has to be said, sometimes finds the world a maddening place. And nowhere more so than from behind the wheel of a car, where you can see any number of people acting like lunatics while in control (or not) of a ton of metal. In Born to be Riled, Clarkson takes a look at the world through his windscreeen, shakes his head at what he sees � and then puts the boot in. Among other things, he explains: � why Surrey is worse than Wales � how crossing your legs in America can lead to arrest � the reason cable TV salesmen must be punched � that divorce can be blamed on the birth of Jesus Raving politicians, pointless celebrities, ridiculous �personalities� and the Germans all get it in the neck, together with the stupid, the daft and ludicrous in a tour de force of comic writing guaranteed to have Clarkson�s postman wheezing under sackfuls of letters from the easily offended.
