Gawd no, they're very different accents. Brummie is more broad, Liverpool is more pinched.
Give me a Brummie accent any day, with apologies to anyone who may have a Liverpool accent.
I love hearing regional accents on telly though. As long as the person has good diction, having an accent shouldn't be a problem.

Well, it was totally irrelevant, considering sexism isn't something Jeremy Clarkson tends to be accused of or display. So what was the purpose of including the term? That's what I mean. It just getS trotted out for no apparent reason.
'No apparent reason'? You were given the reason. I even linked you to the Guardian article which was written by the feminist which the remark in was in reference to.. There was nothing whatsoever irrelevant about it. I suggest you reread it:

Not only was what he said highly relevant, but the more you post, the more relevant it becomes:I do think it is now lowest common denominator television. That's my opinion, I'm not presenting it as fact, but it's what I think. I didn't realise people need to tack an 'IMO' onto everything for people to realise that they are reading opinions. You don't think it's lowest common denominator television. That's your opinion. If you don't like people thinking it's lowest common denominator telly, well just live with it?
What are you raving about? I never said you presented it as fact, let alone needed to keep stating it was just your opinion. You made a comment suggesting that a term was used to purposefully try and shut down opposing viewpoints and I quoted back some of your own comments to show that you were hardly in a position to be saying what you did given some of your own remarks on the thread, and your reply to that is to go on a little rant about how you didn't feel you had to include 'IMO' all the time? Wtf. Nice try though, but I didn't imply that you (or any other user) needed to do anything of the sort.
I have to say though, that I find it a bit rich of you to be telling others that what they need to do is just learn "to live with" the opinions of others, considering your charming response to a user who merely expressed theirs, was to imply that they should be shot with compacted balls of their own sh1t! You couldn't make it up.As for the 'meathead' comments. Anyone, yes anyone, who has signed a petition to end the suspension, when it's an matter than is under investigation, is indeed a bit thick. Nobody yet knows what happened. That goes for both sides. So signing some petition at this stage is just stupid and petulant. Let's see what happens first, shall we?
Wow wow wow. David Copperfield himself would be proud of your use of smoke and mirrors there. Now you're trying to suggest that you only meant that the Clarkson fans that signed the petition requesting his reinstatement are the ones which you feel qualify as "meatheaded". Now you know fine well that no mention of that petition was made in your post, nor the one made by the user you were replying to.
Have to say, the whole debacle is getting a touch of the Garth Brooks at this stage. Even Snoop Dogg has an opinion.
What a meathead

Bit of a fan of the 'Trailer Park Boys' myself so cannot be too judgemental .
Cannot stand TG and the presenters,their appearance, and behaviour, but that's only me.
Different strokes and all that:P
There will be an annual Top Gear Pride and Memorial Parade with the three presenters and the Stig in various supercars through the center of London. :P 0 -

As far as I can make out it refers mainly to myself and the good Herr Professor-Doktor above. :pac::pac::pac:Can someone clarify what a "meathead" is and what specific denominator people are referring to when with respect to Top Gear when saying it appeals to the lowest common denominator?0 -
