Jeremy Clarkson has sent his annual post out to his followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, telling them not to worry if their A-level results aren’t what they hoped for.
Former Top Gear presenter and owner of Diddly Squat Farm has been posting a reminder to A-level students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland for several years now.
Often a lot of pressure surrounds results day and exam season with students wanting to do well and get the grades they need for their next steps.
Sometimes, it seems that only good grades get you to places you want to go but Clarkson likes to challenge this thought process with a new tweet each year.
Don’t worry if your A level results aren’t what you were hoping for. I got a C and two Us, and here I am, 46 years later, with my own pub.
— Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) August 15, 2024
It opens next weekend if you fancy dropping in.
It comes after he received a grade C and two U grades when he sat his 46 years ago and he likes to remind his followers that you can achieve big things despite you’re A-level grades.
Jeremy Clarkson’s post also gave a hint to fans wanting to know when the opening date is for his new pub.
It reads: “Don’t worry if your A level results aren’t what you were hoping for. I got a C and two Us, and here I am, 46 years later, with my own pub.
“It opens next weekend if you fancy dropping in.”
