Welcome to The Land of Zed.

Just to add my small input to this as a non political animal.
Most Immigrants whether they are from another Continent or Europe
don't spend much of their earnings in the UK, they send it home to where ever
they come from.

I bought a set of LEDs from the states lasted about 2 months and had to send them back.
Then fitted a set of Genuine Nissan ones never a problem.

Here is Andy Wilman's Email :
Well, at least we left ‘em wanting more. And that alone, when you think about it, is quite an achievement for a show that started 13 years ago. I know none of us wanted it to end this way, but for a moment I’d like us to look back and think about just what an incredible thing you all had a hand in creating. When Jane Root gave us the green light in 2002, the brief was to reinvigorate a car show and get an audience of three million. What you all ended up making was one of the most iconic programmes in TV history, a show about cars that went global, won countless awards, was devoured by non car fans and ended up in the Guinness Book of Records.
We had a lot of laughs, we had a lot of tiffs. We went to amazing places and we went to some shitholes. We nearly killed a presenter, we had to run for the border. We started off with whoever we could get in the Reasonably Priced Car, and ended up with Tom Cruise. Throughout all this we made television that was beautiful to look at and beautiful to listen to. The work ethic never slipped, the desire for everyone in this dysfunctional family to do right by the show never faltered. Jeremy, Richard and James, as the visible tip of the iceberg, got most of the attention and praise, but you all in your own fields had such an immense hand in weaving this unforgettable tapestry. I would love to single out everybody by name to thank them for what they did, but it’s impossible and I’d forget someone I shouldn’t have and that would be crap, so I’ll just say Jim, I’m sorry we never got a bear to drive an automatic.
For those of you who still rely on it for work, don’t worry, because the BBC will make sure the show continues. Our stint as guardians of Top Gear was a good one, but we were only part of the show’s history, not the whole of it. Those two words are bigger than us.
Anyway, when you’re feeling low in your working day at any point, look around at some of the crap on TV, then have a think about Top Gear, 2002- 2015, and say to yourself: “I made that.â€
A big, big, big thank you, which will never be enough.
Andy.

Hamilton to sign new contract with Merc worth $31 million.
Making him the highest paid sportsman in the UK, not bad for a boy from Stevenage..

Your welcome mate that's a good site for free sky TV and others, once you can get rid of the annoying adverts,
secret is to find the hidden X to close them.
