Comment: hello, Please dis-regard the rumors ! Jealousy is every where.
The reason I was contacting you is that last year we put down new wood
floors all over our house. I have since been using the swifter wet cloths
and I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love them . They are
convenient and do a nice job. I to have a dog and 2 cats and nothing is
wrong with them. And my floors are always clean thanks to you. I was
actually going to ask you if you can send me some coupons for the swifter
wetcloths. Thank you keep up the good work. Any coupon would be appreciated as we are
on a tight budget ! I will always be a customer !!!!!!!!!!!!

If nothing is wrong with the dog and two cats why buy a swifter. A correctly inserted pole can save you time and money.
Pets no longer part of the problem, but part of the solution.

Comment: re: Pregnant Pause

Dear Mr. Joe Kennedy,

I am an avid reader of your website and thank you for a critical and
interesting look at today's facts and fallacies. The intention in this
letter is only to provide a (possibly) different angle to help promote the
critical thinking of your readers. When my wife became pregnant, she
smoked nearly two packs of cigarrettes a day. Her intitial decision was to
quit smoking immediately and when she consulted a doctor about her options
he actually told her not to quit but to cut down to at most half a pack a
day. He informed us that quitting completely could result in a miscarriage
and that cutting down would prepare her to quit at the end of the
pregnancy. I don't know if all doctors would give the same advice but it
provides an interesting angle to the "smoking pregnant women is hypocrite"
reaction to the photograph. Once again, thank you for this quality
website. I look forward to reading it everyday.

Comment: To the California Border Patrol:

New technology makes it possible to remotely (through any surveillance
camera) identify and establish whereabouts of individual crossing the
border. Then, even if the person is successful to illegally enter the
country, it would find Him/Her quickly anywhere in the USA. To activate
this "Border Watchdog" the motioncodes chip need to be inserted to the
surveillance cameras. This is totally robotic system doesn't require human
supervision. Please contact us for details

Comment: Firstly I hope that Mr Hammond heals and lives a good life.

A serious question for Mr Clarkson & Mr May.
I am British, I am an international orchestra/opera conductor, living in Paris. My performances take all over Europe, even as far as Kasakhstan. I am sick of endless waiting when I fly & I think it is time I bought a serious motor car. The problem is, I so confused I don't know what to do. My list is roughly the following;
Mercedes 8 cyl.
Jaguar 8 cyl
Range Rover 8 cyl.
BMW the same
Peugeot the same
ETC

I need total comfort. As quiet as possible in the cab. Climate control. Navigation etc.
I want to be hurling on a German autobahn at 180 kms and be able to listen to a
Mozart string quartet. In two weeks my latest CD will be released of music from 1720.
Also in winter snow can be a real pain. I once drove a Renault 15 diesel all across Poland and at the German border realised I had left my passport at the hotel. In the communist hotels they took your passport & are supposed to return them on checkout !
Then I had to face a dreadfully long drive along the same route but now faced very heavy snow. I went into several spins, drove off the road into a large snowdrift.
I know you have done it all and I would really appreciate guidance. I think I would opt for a petrol driven motor. But one that never breaks down ! Also do I buy the car in the UK or in France ? Is there a price difference?

I love your show chaps just keep going for god's sake, your programme is so professional, so well done that I appreciate it more than then I can say.

Sincerely

Gary Clifford Dennis BRAIN (OBE).
