I agree with the 25-year old girl said "He’s hilarious" and 11-year old girl said "I think Jeremy is just quite funny", even though I've never watched Clarkson Farm.

I've never had an Amazon prime account. Amazon deprives of time and money. The programme may help improving my English, but I'm too busy for real life. I'd rather not watch the video of the farm than visit to the actual farm.
