    Has anybody seen this?
    BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Clarkson stung after bank prank

    Quite apart from "how wrong can he be", it is the attitude of the bank, in not divulging who raised the Direct d
    Debit because of the Data Protection Act, which I find both incomprehensible and reprehensible.

    I was involved in a very small way in the implementation of the Data Protection Act. In neither word nor spirit was it ever intended to be (mis)used in this way.

    p.s. I resisted the puns on it being a Stig!!!!

    What kind of idiot publishes their bank account details in a newspaper?

    I'm amazed how someone can set up a direct debit on an account that's not theirs. Sounds like a bank security issue.

    I like him because he doesn't mind acting like a wally. And in this case he certainly got his just desserts. But his articles and programmes are always funny even if one doesn't agree with him.

    I think those three in Top Gear (Clarkson, May and Hammond - just in case you thought I meant their Mums as in a show this week) have the best job in the world! They are paid to do what lots of people fork out fortunes to do as hobbies and adventure holidays. I certainly wish I was 30 years younger and had the opportunity.

    I still think Jeremy's bank's response is disgraceful though!

    In the words of Delboy, 'what a plonker'. I must agree though his programme 'Topgear' is awesome.

    Sniper :peep:
