Hamster

It’s great to see the multi talented presenter Richard Hammond on the road to recovery. Though I’m not an ardent viewer of Top Gear I do like Mr Hammond presenting other shows, his documentary about the holy grail was superb. (Who would of thought the holy grail would end up in Nottinghamshire !)

Anyway, what has really amazed me is the nation’s response to the near fatal crash he was involved in. Thousands upon thousands sending good will messages, money donated to charity and a national feeling of support for the presenter affectionately known as ‘Hamster’.

As a nation, this is where we always come into our own – giving support when one of our own suffers bad fortune.

what amazes is me is that so many people care about someone they don't know.
it says more about people than i care to think about.

never understood the outpouring over diana, and everytime some other celeb pops their clogs the collective mourning is bizarre.

he is just a tv presenter.
