      Dvdsky Precisely ! Well said, you. Just found out Stephen is at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake this summer, doing a one-man show called Mythos. Sigh..no time...no money...and apparently it's already almost sold out. Lucky Dogs. Break a leg, Stephen. Lovely to have you in Canada. 👍❤️

      He’s in the camp of intelligent people that want to raise the intelligence of those around him, not those that want to scold you for not being as smart. People like him are the ones that kids aspire to be, if they don’t want to be an athlete, Hollywood actor or the like

      Do Britons consider Clarkson a national treasure? I googled Jeremy Clarkson + national treasure. The first result was a column by Katie Hopkins in which she referred to Clarkson as such, and the second was an article in which the expression 'national treasure' appeared with Clarkson's name, but was being used to describe a Mr Fry, S.
      I guess the short of it is that if one has to ask if another is a national treasure, it's safe to say they are not.

    @gunzkevin to answer your question "And why didn't they use tenths rather than having the possibility of multiple ties?"
    because, when they brought the show back with new presenters in 2002 they introduced this stars in a reasonably priced car for the first time and didn't want to make it too competitive, so they decided not to take the time that accurate. when this feature became more and more popular in later years, they realised that it would be better to use tenths too
