What I want to know is the name of the Pub where they were doing the Polar Special. Or do I need to take my own booze.

Mr May must really be a very, very stupid and very arrogant person if he genuinely cannot see why anyone depicting drink driving as being a good thing to do.

They took it with them.

Once again, this is a politically correct fuss about nothing. Anyone with even half a brain should have been able to see for themselves that they were in the middle of nowhere. That is NOT the same as driving down the high street after a belly full of beer on saturday night.

May and Clarkson should be PRAISED and lauded for their achievement in driving a car to the pole. It is a world first and despite al the poetic licence used during the making of the film, was bl00dy difficult, stressful and dangerous. It required a considerable strength of character to do what they did. So what if they had the odd G&T whilst they were doing it.

I reckon that any stupid p1ll0ck who is moaning about it should be forced to attempt the same trip themselves... and I hope they meet a hungry polar bear on the way.
