I couldn't quite hear Alan's apparently devastating line, delivered after Clarkson had compared the atmosphere in an Amsterdam brothel to that of a motorway service station toilet.

If anyone caught it, I'd be very glad to learn what it was.

Thank you.

He said, in a moment of comedic genius, "that must have been a welcome break"! (as in the service stations....)

Yes. And, though it was a brilliant ad-lib, the deafening reaction was because they'd been talking about Welcome Breaks just before the recording.

Sorry if it jarred a bit.

Of course I should really be inviting you over to www.givealandaviesmorepoints.com to discuss this but seing as we are here, excelent play on words from Jeremy Clarkson suggesting that wine should be the main ingredient in a "Birmingham Screwdriver" oooh I did chuckle
