Yesterday, Jeremy Clarkson fans created chaos in traffic as queues formed at the Diddly Squat Farm Shop.
On the Saturday prior to Christmas, hundreds of vehicles lined the grass verges. People could be seen waiting in long lines at the Chadlington farm shop as they tried to sell their goods.
A visitor described the shop’s parking lot as “sea ofmud” due to poor weather conditions and the large number of vehicles. He suggested the shop change its name to Diddly Squelch.
