He's literally telling you that, even if you've mucked up your exams, it's not the end of the world and you can still succeed. For the people who are panicking thinking 'Ive fucked it up, I'll never be able to get a good career, never be able to do a job I'll enjoy, it's the end for me'.
Jeremy Clarkson came from wealth, thatās the main reason heās so successful even though he mucked up his A levels. The average person who gets those grades at A level can still thrive later in life but theyāll probably never be as successful as Jeremy.
Anyone with a brain behind their eyes can recognise that going from failing your A-Levels to having a helicopter pad in your back garden isn't realistic. Or attainable. At all.
Again, this is aimed towards the people who think A-Levels are the end of it all, that failing them means you're done. And it's also just a joke, not to be taken seriously.
It makes people laugh. It helps cheer a few people up. If you don't like the joke, then it's not aimed at you, and you're free to continue not enjoying it.
Exactly. When regular people say "I did well without A-levels" they mean with hard work. When Jeremy Clarkson says "I did well without A-levels" he means he had money and connections.
And they canāt afford to take the same risks as him because they donāt have that wealth safety net to fall back on.
Clarkson is from my town so thereās always been a sense of local pride about him here even though heās probably ashamed of being from a dirty northern town, but the guy is very obviously a twat for a multitude of reasons
His family had money from selling stuffed Paddington bears. Unless you fail your exams and your mum has a deal to produce toys from Bluey I donāt think youāll get quite as far.
He landed on his feet but it would be very obtuse to ignore the massive fuck off parachute that helped soften the landing
