"YOU BLITHERING IDIOT! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HOUSE!"

Nope - Jeremy was planning to knock down the house anyway. This was actually genius - such massive genius it has its own gravity - on his part, instead of paying a demolition crew to knock it down he tricked his colleagues into doing it for free.

@@quillmaurer6563 pov: you don't understand a joke at all

@@Seb5Fan Personally I think the idea of Jeremy tricking his colleagues into doing it for free is funnier yet.

Thank you for the explanation :)

Also in the uk a 200 year old building isnt exactly rare, meanwhile in the US that’s 2 thirds of their country’s existence.

do you know what was wrong with it? ...seems like such a waste to destroy a lovely house. like my parents house is almost 100 and has a lot of issues so if we were filth rich we'd destroy and rebuild. it was made before indoor heating, electric or internet, the pipes had to be entirely redone because they were utterly rusted, the walled of chimneys had water infiltration etc etc. But what was wrong with this 200 year old one? seemed fine from the outside.

This was actually a genius move on Jeremy's part. Instead of paying a demolition crew to do this, trick his colleagues into doing it for free. I'm guessing as well as wanting to build a bigger house, the house probably had a lot of issues that weren't worth fixing, potentially even structural issues, so knocking it down and building new was the best option.

@@HisameArtwork as far as we've been told, Jeremy just wanted a bigger, more modern house.

it's a different feeling entirely. I'm afraid of heights, but dont get vertigo when I'm in a plane, or on a roller coaster. I could maybe get 5 or 6 steps up that ladder before I'd be moving as slow of May, maybe even just stop all together and go back down.

I will say, I’ve been on glider flights, and, when your pilot (two person glider) disconnects the tow cable it feels just like a canoe after you stop rowing and just kind of glide forward

@@zjjohnson3827 There's a glider place near where I live, and they bring visitors up. It was alot of fun. I did get a bit nautious on the way down though.

@@spderweb I second this I’m the same it seems to be once you get high enough the ground is so far away your brain doesn’t really perceive it as real especially being inside I can’t walk across heights where it’s glass, thin steel or timber and you can see clearly through it, don’t do high roller coasters or big drop rides, and I definitely don’t sky dive or bungee jump.. The worst part as far as heights are concerned in a plane ride is the first 100-200 metres off the ground where you’re climbing and you have those short drops along the way that’s shit apart from that and really bad turbulence in general flying isn’t remotely as bad as something like standing on top of a high bridge or building

@@markb8467 Oh, i still feel secure in Roller Coasters. I did go Bungee Jumping. My stress levels were off the charts right up until I fell. It feels realllly good during the fall, and then at the bottom, the 20 feet or so above the water, hanging, waiting for them to lower me, my fear kicked in again. I did it because I didn't want my fear to take away from an experience. It was rough though walking across the crane.

because jeremy had permission to demolish as he was rebuilding.

@@tezzarrific2897 Yeah but tell me dude, if you got a letter from the council and it said your neighbour has had permission approved to demolish the house........ You would assume what?

The explosion was what? a few seconds? They mad for that?

I know someone who lives in Chipping Norton. The village, as a whole, complains about everyone and everything. Exhaust a little loud? Complain. Dog barks after 8pm? Complain.

I know Jeff Bezos is a few billion shy of becoming a trillionaire,and he treats his warehouse-based subordinates rather shabbily, but I can't help but feel sorry for him. He must have felt the Winds(wince)of pain everytime Amazon opened their coffers for these guys....

From what i heard on the video where he lose the bet, the house itself "coincidentally" was going to be demolished (or sold) after all. So i think he doesn't even mind for amazon to film his house blew up, rather than changing his name to jennifer

@@alieffauzanrizky7202 Considering the items left in for his colleagues to find, I'd say he absolutely planned the demolition to happen.

I was expecting the button wouldn't work less. They could have added some more content minutes to the ritual.

Its the hand movements for me

I gotta agree with you. Watching this while eating breakfast is nice

It's proly still someone elses house.

fucked up neighbours

You fart too loud in that village they get pissed off

I think that was the funniest moment between those three I have ever seen followed closely by James getting soaked in his Mercedes estate after they filled it with the ocean and when he told Jeremy that he was so dry that he looked like something found in a pyramid. Yes, there are hundreds if not thousands of other great laughs, but those three definitely stand out for me 🤣

@@BondTheOGYT Does that mean they won't be knocking it down then?🤔🤣

Don't worry, England is full of old houses.

200 years isn't all that old in the UK. And I rather doubt that that house was actually that old anyway.

it was fucked anyways

@@ClarinoI 200 years is ancient mate! Cheers from Oz.

@@Rob-fc9wg For a person, yes. For an object, not really. Think of Ayers Rock, that's ancient. It's 550million years old. 200 years is nothing compared to that.

Yes, in the scene Jeremy said he'lll go home. And he did

I believe Clarkson was going to have it torn down anyway to build a new house. this way he just got Amazon to blow it up for him

He was gonna tear it down anyway the lads just thought it'd be more fun to do it for the grand tour

Ridiculously underrated comment 🤣

Too accurate

It's just not interesting if they say that in the show however.

You really don't understand English humour do you mate!!??

it was so nice tho

Sometimes his genius ... has its own gravity.

Lmao

Don't blame the bats. Blame the horrific wet markets that torture animals and are a breeding ground for horrific shit. Besides, cars are more dangerous than covid.

@@englishatheart I'm sorry that you believe some raw and or rotten bat meat helped create a virus that 99% of those who contract it will survive.

@@Jeff.78 1. Covid having come to us from bats in wet markets in China is the most probable theory according to a huge team of international scientists put together by the WHO (World Health Organization). No idea why you would act like Christine is silly for believing it, it's the most internationally recognized theory on the origins of the pandemic in the scientific community across the entire world. If you're going to throw shade on it like that, you better back up your argument with strong research. Unless you just meant that the virus wasn't created by rotten bat meat, but already existed in them when they were alive? Which is true, but then Christine never said otherwise, so your comment wouldn't make sense in that case. 2. Considering 3,5 MILLION people have died worldwide from the virus so far (probably a lot more that haven't been registered), I do think you shouldn't say things like "a virus that 99% of those who contract it will survive" so lightly. Don't trivialize it. Have a bit more respect and empathy for the huge amount of people that have lost their lives to the virus.

@@Rokudaimedono The science behind the virus doesn't scare me. Heart disease kills 18 million a year, globally, per the WHO. It's a shame governments don't take a scientific approach to fixing that. They tell us to eat plants and low fat everything, when science shows a low carb/ low inflammatory diet is best for reducing heart disease. Big pharma doesn't benefit from a healthy populace. Control the money, control the people.

@@Jeff.78 There's a difference between not being unnecessarily afraid of something, and having a healthy respect for it. Most of all, if it can be fatal for a lot of people around the world, you shouldn't trivialize it just because most normal healthy people like yourself would survive it, especially when we're dealing with something that is this infectious. The constant mutations we're getting as a directt result of the latter is a genuine worry. Anyway, regardless of all of this, at the very least, making fun of other people for listening to what the experts and most respected world health organizations are saying about something they themselves know nothing about, and following their advice, is simply not cool, and you shouldn't do it. If for some reason you're convinced WHO is wrong about something (the corona virus coming to us from bats at wet markets in China), then okay, try to prove it if you can, and try to convince others if you feel you must, but never ridicule other people and the general populace for simply listening to what the science is saying. That's not okay (plus it's counterproductive). P.S: European health organizations and pharmaceutical companies aren't as cynical as in the U.S, as most healthcare is free in most countries here (because everyone pays for the costs collectively in our taxes here, because we believe that's better for everyone, and, unlike in the US, our "we should look out for each other" mentality is much stronger than our "everyone should look out for themselves, and earn what they gain" mentality), even without health insurance, and so it's much less of an industry here. We don't really like the idea of treating people's survival as a business. A sentiment that I feel ought to be common sense to everyone, but that I recognize isn't the case worldwide.

Yes it was.

Hmm joy Jeremy Clarkson

He was planning on knocking it down anyway. He did have a two-storey house, but he wanted to buy a 3 storey house which was 4 million pounds. When he mentioned it to the guys on The Grand Tour, they decided that Richard and James destroying his house would be a funny thing to include.

is that your sure name?

It's not really old for the UK, though.

he bought the farm, the house was a wreck and had to go, someone had to demolish it, this way they wrote it off as a business expense or however they do that in the UK.

@@elund408 mdr a wreck ?

Amazing idea that they used it as an idea for a video.
