Birmingham hating Jeremy Clarkson gets trapped in the toilet

Good old Jeremy Clarkson, who is the subject of a new Youtube clip doing the rounds, likes to think of himself as a bit of a prankster and wind-up merchant.

Traditionally we refer to Jezza as a 'motormouth' in the Birmingham Mail, usually when writing stories about his latest insult to our city.

Never mind that he's trousered enormous amounts of loot from his 'MPH' shows at the NEC.

No, Jezza hates the city, and region in general, having said the Brummie accent makes "everyone sound subnormal".

He's had a go a restaurant - Simpsons - which is the pride of Brum, and described nearby Wednesbury as "the worst place in the world."

And on hearing that MG Rover had gone under, his first reaction was 'good'.

So I think we can take a small amount of pleasure from the fact that he's become so famous that he can't even go to the toilet without practical jokes being played on him.

At the Mallorca Classic Car Rally on March 21 2009, pranksters piled tyres in front of the portaloo door forcing him to kick his way out.

So I think we can take some cold comfort from the living hell that multi-multi millionaire Clarkson's life has become in the public eye (ok, well, probably not but we can only hope).
