I saw this comment few times before so that leaves us with 2 options: 1. There are multiple teachers that look like in the world 2. You copied someones comment to get likes because can't think of something funny yourself I hope that the second one is truth bc it would be scary to live in a world with multiple Mays lookalikes
Lmao, perfect response. Nobody cares how old you are (or claim to be) in a written letter. Just get to the point. No special treatment for kids or else everybody suddenly claims they're 13.
I love how frankly yet respectfully he handled that 14 year old's letter. At first I was like, omg James you're crushing this child's dreams, but then you saved it.
I love the rejection letter. Like someone at the company spotted the stack of them and thought "hey, this might be a funny thing to send to James May's Mail Time". The fact it's a pre-made letter with blanks to fill in a name adds even more to the ridiculousness of it.
Dear James May, I happen to notice that Matthew’s cars are a perfect fit for Hammond,it also contains a Porsche and a Land Rover,two cars that Hammond loves. I would like to have them before Hammond finds them and crashes them while driving down a hill Sincerely, Ayush
The Trabant is the best out out of the 3 for Richard Hammond. It's very small (even the full-size original), but Hammond is small enough to fit into it comfortably. Plus it doesn't go fast enough for Hammond to crash.

you've got to love how James gives away a tight on money 13 year old's precious little toy cars, and then throws his letter in the bin without reading it.
Tight in that context means 'stingy', rather than not having enough money. I also think May got a bit irritated at the opinionated views on top gear and seemed to be near the end of the letter anyway.
The bullet appears to be a 7.62mm (I'd say 150 grain ) bullet that does not have a "full metal jacket", but is only partially jacketed in copper. The dark material visible at the rear is the interior lead of the bullet. Tracer rounds have an orange tip at that caliber (generally)
Clipping hair and whiskers from pets is based off of the English tradition of clipping a loved ones hair from Victorian times. The clippings would oft be used to make a locket, an artistic collage, or some similar small object which one could keep and view on a regular basis as a remembrance.
