Is Jeremy Clarkson kidding when he says he has no idea who Mark Drakeford is.He was asked this tonight for the ask the host lifeline.

netty: "Blimey TTT, are you ok? You usually pull people to pieces  who don't know the answer to a quiz question in your 'They walk amongst us' threads!" - Well netty it just shows how little you have grasped what I do. I don't go after wrong answers or non answers in themselves, I highlight questions where the answer obvious and usually in the question or the given answer is so left field that you cannot imagine how anyone could think that could be the answer. Not knowing a minor regional politician is entirely expected and understood.

I just thought that with his previous Top Gear connection and the fact that Drakeford has imposed the 20 mph speed limit in Wales that J C would have known.

Like many people Jezza does not retain a lot of knowledge. He's been petty well everywhere in the world but often struggles when asked Geography questions for example.

Clarkson, famously travelled, thought the Faroe Islands were in the Arctic Ocean!  But he probably knows the 0-60 of a Ford Capri Mark I to the nearest tenth of a second.

As for Mark Drakeford, anybody who has any kind of pretence of knowing anything about British politics should really have known his name ... much like Humza Yousaf (I bet people know who he is, and his predecessor, and the predecessor before that too!) and Michelle O'Neill.

Yes, but in fairness, ellipsis, the Faroes are in the wilds of the North Atlantic so it's anyone's guess really.

Jezza's cut from the same cloth as Tora so he gets a pass.

[grumpy01]

He,seemingly,didn't know Custer's last stand was the Battle of Little Bighorn.

Well, it's only a guess if you don't know the answer.  And lots of people did know the answer:

They knew because it's not even close - take a look:

The Faroe Islands are the red dot between the UK and Iceland, in the Atlantic. The Arctic Ocean is labelled at the top, just right of middle - way, way, way further north.
