Clarkson isn't having an easy run of it, is he?

Poor Jeremy, will he ever catch a break? The broadcaster's Diddly Squat establishment, which eventually became a big money maker for the first-time farmer during season one of 'Clarkson's Farm', has been forced to shut due to the local county council ruling it to be unsuitable due to its location and sub-par toilet facilities.and 'Top Gear' presenter undertook a huge task during 2020 when he decided to turn his idle land in Gloucestershire in the UK into a business.

Having had no previous farming experience, the reality series followed the ups and downs of farm life, including delivering newborn lambs, getting tractors stuck in the mud, getting his arse stung by bees and harvesting crops from his fields. The first series concluded with Clarkson only managing to make a £144 profit.

Now, the cafe and shop that he opened during the series, Diddly Squat, has been forced to close by local council officials. The countryside venue proved to be a very popular inclusion in the Cotswolds, but has been known to cause traffic jams in the area. The council deemed the infrastructure of the restaurant"unsustainable and incompatible with its open countryside location" and added that the toilet area and the car park were"visually intrusive and harmful" to the natural area. Clarkson will appeal the decision.
